Turner Bend is exceptional for all your needs. Floating, Camping, Hiking, Trail Rides. We have always camped and this year stayed in a cottage. It was amazing. The owner and his team are wonderful. Such a gem of a business.
I didn’t stay. I stopped in the store. The service was friendly and informative. I plan to use the campgrounds next year! Beautiful.
Stopped in for a “almost world famous sandwich” I had the “fried chicken” which was really nasty chicken tenders. The kind that’s not even real meat like a cheap McDonald’s chicken patty. On top of that it was on the worst bread I’ve ever eaten. Think Great Value brand. It was instantly soggy and couldn’t even hold the sandwich together. Anyone that thinks this place has good sandwiches hasn’t had a good sandwich. I wanted to buy a shirt or something but they were over $30. Hoodies were $75. That’s pretty ridiculous.
We stayed a week in the Carriage House, really nice inside, clean, had WiFi and a smart Tv. They supplied the linens also, reasonable rates. Will definitely stay there again. The store staff was friendly and had what we needed. It was very convenient to gas up our Sxs's there. I give it a thumbs up for sure!
