My family and I live in Huntsville, AL, and 2 years ago, we discovered Weiss Lake and fell in love…read morewith it. Within a month, we had bought a Camper and found a Campground (over in Leesburg) to park it permanently on, but the local co-op Power Company couldn't get the power on for a day or so. So, we looked for somewhere to stay here locally in Cherokee county for a night or two. The other accommodations in town did not seem AT ALL favorable, and had us kind of worried, so we decided to give Bay Springs Motel/Marina a shot, based on a some good reviews on some other websites. (There really are NOT a ton of reviews on local motels in Cherokee County, so it can be a little intimidating, if you are from out of town, and find yourself in this type of situation!) All I can tell you is THIS: We have stayed in a TON of 5-Star Hotels, and of course did not expect anything near that Quality in a small town... But, we were SO SURPRISED. I can tell you that I have NEVER seen such a spotless room, nor such attention to detail, nor such a wonderful Check-in as we received by Ms Terri... This place is TRULY a hidden Gem. We have since been back a 2nd time (when our Camper had a plumbing leak, and we needed a place to stay quickly...) She and her son, Darcy, both live on premises and are there for ANYTHING that you need.. I genuinely wish that more Hotels and Motels were more attentive to detail like this, and gave this kind of genuine, locally-owned, and TRUE hospitality. Do NOT hesitate to stay here. I would give this Motel 6-Stars, but it only allows me FIVE. ;) Truly a great place. Dusty

We have been renting houses at CBR since 2011 and have stayed in many different homes. This is a…read moregreat family resort with multiple ever-expanding pools and tons of fun activities for every age. We have done our annual family reunion for 60+ family from multiple states for several years now. We rent the pavilion for suppers together and meet at the waterpark or any of the many pools for family time together. This year our extended family of 15 stayed in house #41 for the first time. It is fairly new, really beautiful, and with the very best kitchen we have found anywhere in our travels. Huge and super-well equipped. Mattresses were all great and everyone slept well all four nights. Only negative about this beautiful home is that there are no bedrooms on the main level so everyone has to either go upstairs or downstairs for sleeping. Also the driveway is a bit challenging but we navigated it well with our Armada and were able to park two cars in the garage. Garage needs a step to help guests climb up into the house but we all managed. Front door is very easy access if guests want to avoid the very tall step from the garage. Also pet friendly which is very rate at CBR. We would definitely rent this one again!

Negative stars for this restaurant. Came here tonight with my family (including my very young…read moredaughter) and literally had a panic attack before I got out of there. The owner came in and started yelling at our server - language I have never heard in my life. It made me so uncomfortable I wanted to leave before our food came. The screaming continued the rest of the time we were there. My Dad ordered the broasted chicken, and it was literally rotten. The worst thing I've ever smelled. My Mom's hamburger steak was red inside. And I got so upset by the lunatic screaming that we had to leave immediately. To top it off we still had to pay for the inedible meal. Stay far far far away from this restaurant and this woman. It is my understanding that she also sells real estate in the area - terrible awful lady.

Here's what we found.... 1) When we reserved the room there was no mention of the lake level being lowered. When we arrived the owner informed us that's the way it is every year. Obviously intentionally omitted from the property description or on the phone during reservation. 2) All the piers are rotten and falling in at a number of places. The photos on the site that include the piers are obviously well outdated. They are Not safe. 3) The cabins are not on the water. They are about 100 ft from the water and there are old dilapidated trailers between the cabins and where the water would be when it's elevated. 4) We stayed in cabin 1, it was musty smelling and the beds felt like they were at least 25 years old. 5) The cabins are advertised as sleeping 4. They do, however, the common space is not big enough for 4 people. 1 small loveseat and chair. We stood most of the time so the kids could sit. 6) I asked if there was a place to build a fire, the spot the owner referred to was a pile of wood refuse they had piled up from trying to fix things around the place and there was a 40 gallon plastic trash can next to the burn pile with rotting fish guts. Honestly, disgusting is an understatement. 7) We reserved 3 nights, after the 1st night it was painfully obvious we could not stay another night. I called the owner and respectfully said this was not what we were expecting and had to leave... with acute apathy she responded 'Ok then'. When I asked about any refund, she said 'nope, sorry'. We spent $350 on this place, we couldn't afford to go anywhere else. We returned home. This place is not what it appears to be in the photos. My advice is to go there and see it before you give these people any money. We intend on filing a consumer complaint with the Better Business Bureau.
