Ice cream from the shop is nice and I love the pool and patio area. A couple of defects is it is in the middle of basically nowhere which concludes with no service/satellite along with some visitors including squirrels and even raccoons on the sites.

There were…read morebutterflies everywhere and very minimum mosquitos - the grass was recently cut a few days ago which made the trail viewable. I had to use the ALL TRAIL app because they did wave in and out a little but thing were you'll get lost - its more of just missing additional trail and not getting all your steps in. Last but not least - i'm unsure if you're suppose to pay; at least when i went that day it was FREE but they did have signs posted of a list of fees. Since it was already an holiday because they decided to have the weekend free entry just be aware there's a possibility they might ask for some money. Lol! Happy hiking!!!

We are a family of 4 couples, each couple stayed in a different cabin. We stayed in Towhee, Flicker…read moreboth pet friendly one bedroom units with fold out couches, and Snipe and Redwing, studio units with pullout couches. We also rented the linens and towels. No one complained. These cabins are immaculate, equipped with kitchens, kitchen gadgets, heat, and screened in porches. The beds were comfortable, the towels fluffy and clean and the sheets soft. The windows opened, the doors and drawers opened and shut, the equipment was clean and worked. We used the refrigerators, the freezers, the range, microwave, toaster and coffee makers. We were pleasantly surprised to find kitchen towels and a dishrag along with dish soap. We used the grill located just outside the unit. Upon arriving we were greeted by Ranger Mark who explained everything and helped us get our linens to the units. There are lovely moderately difficult and very easy trails and walkways. The Rolling Oaks Trail is about a 3 mile off-the-grid trail. It has hills, grassy trails, flower fields and lots of twists and turns in the shade and sunshine. There's also a multi-use blacktopped trail which could be manageable for bikes, wheelchairs, and baby strollers. The Trine Recreation Area is part of the Indiana State Recreation Areas and its smaller and more private than others we have visited. It's wonderful. There's the option of boating, hiking, biking and there's a children's playground. Just across the highway there is Pokagon State Recreation Area that is much larger with a more diverse trail system along with horseback riding and an Inn as well as cabins and camping. It also has a black topped bike trail. We tried the short hikes one day and the 8 mile Devils Challenge another day. Pokagon SRA was busy, everyone was respectful of social distancing when passing. The hours for check-in 4 pm and it is 4 pm! Checkout is 11 am and they request you cleanup your cabin and pack up the linens and towels (if rented). It's no big deal and as long as you're respectful of the property the cleanup should be easy. The cabins are 5 years old and in great shape. You can see they are well maintained. My suggestions to further improve the units: one more shelf in kitchen high up on the level of the cabinet above the refrigerator. I struggled to find places for non-refrigerated foods of the floor. A full length mirror for those of us who need to be sure we are ready for the public (perfect spot on short wall near the bed head to the right of the pocket door) and some clothing hooks in the bedroom. The dresser is great but without a closet coats, hats and clothes that are worn regularly need hanging. It looks like maybe a few people have tried hanging off the curtain rods? We highly recommend Trine State Recreation Area and it's lovely cabins.

My family stays at Sunset Cove every summer. We have a lot for our camper that we pay $1400 a year…read morefor, $200 for a dock, and we also pay for electric. I enjoy staying and relaxing and being out on the water. Marble lake is a lake that's part of a series of channels and lakes and that's one of my favorite things about this particular area. As mentioned above there's a pretty nice price tag on what we pay and because of that it would be nice to see the money that so many are paying for go towards upgrades in the resort. Better restrooms and showers... more full hook ups in the camper area... heck even new playground equipment... throw us a bone!! For as much as lot rent is as well as paying for our own electric on top of that this resort has to be pocketing a lot of money and I would be thoroughly impressed if we start to saw some, *any* kind of upgrade in the resort. Anyways the resort is usable and not by any means in bad shape. I enjoy spending my weekends here and don't have many complaints. Side note the corner store on the water has amazing hand dipped ice-cream that can't be beat. If you're here, don't miss it.

I will break this review into why I would come back, a review of the food and the not so pretty…read morestuff. I would come back because there aren't many restaurants where you can sit outside and truly enjoy a water view. Here you had a great view of the water in a nicely designed patio. The seating was comfortable under the veranda..which shielded the sun. In this night there was a gentle breeze that made the meal very pleasant. In addition to the great views...the food was very good. The menu is very small...but the items we had were very well done. On top of that...I got the most expensive entree which was about $15. Excellent price, food and views!! This is a good enough reason to give them a try. I said the food was good! My wife had the fried cod and thought it is very good. The cod was fresh, tasty and thick. The breading was just the right thickness with a slight sweet taste. The breading was slightly greasy but didn't dominate the taste. The Cole slaw was very soupy. The slaw pieces were finely chopped. So small that is blended in with the soupiness. The fluid was heavy on a Mayo taste with a slight hint of vinegar or spice. I had the special of the day - ribs and pork belly pieces. The ribs were cooked to completion. The main meat had a moist taste but the crust was a bit tough. There was a very attractive glaze on the ribs. The homemade sauce was very tasty - possibly too sweet. The glaze was a bit tough also. The ribs had a decent amount of meat to the bones. For $15...I thought the rib meal was good and a deal. The ribs came with green beans and fries. The green beans were fresh and nicely steamed. They didn't have any crisp to them nor did they have much seasoning. However they were good. The fries were excellent. The fries had a nice crisp edge with a softer seasoned thick part. The fries were not greasy and accented with some light cheese and pork. There were several downsides that I didn't expect. First of the Cold Springs Resort had no signage. We assumed that the large white building was it but we weren't sure. Upon encountering the building you aren't sure where to park as parking is not marked - just grassy/gravel spots. Once you get out of the car...you are actually on the backside of the building. You assume that the closet door is it. Upon entering that door you find a blank facility that is kind of dingy and eerie. At that point you decide your next best choice is to walk toward the water. Tada..activity that feels like a restaurant!! Now that you are on the patio..where do I go? There were a group of three 20 something girls chatting amongst themselves. Mind you...no one has a name tag or a shirt that shows they work there. I asked for a hostess. They just said they worked there (I.e. I'm not a hostess). Eventually a waitress surfaced to let us know that we could seat ourselves. Once seated the young waitress wondered over to take our drink order. She had a nice point of order system to enter things. After taking our drink order she went and sat at a patio table and started eating with two other waitresses. Eventually she did get up and go inside the bar and return with our drinks. Very odd! Once we got past the drinks she settled into the same pattern...visit the table..return to eating. Eventually she managed to provide refills after asking twice. I will chalk this up to young waitresses that aren't trained well. Uniform shirts, name tags, better signage and who does what procedures would be a good start. Ending employee meals when they start serving customers would be ideal. This visit had been unusual by this point. I love they nostalgia of this old facility. It kind of reminded my of the movie "Dirty Dancing". I could just envision how active this resort was back in the day. Unfortunately, in todays state it needs some more modernization. I did visit the restroom. While clean..it could have used a thorough cleaning. The room was very dimly lite. The toilets were very short and there were no handicap hand rails. Though...the restroom had been recently renovated with lake decor. Overall...it is still a must try. And...I would come back for the reasons listed above. Hopefully the management team can help address some of the odd situations I listed.

Always something about hotel lobbies, fireplaces, and good friends that is satisfying. The Friday night buffet is BBQ, and following a week of Great Smokies's dining, we were eager to enjoy "German style" meals. Brisket was better than southern; pulled pork had no flavor; ribs were burned; great salad bar; very few veggies. Rustic-style hotel located within the Sauder Village complex, featuring an indoor pool with a waterfall, complimentary hot breakfast, and charming timber-frame architecture.
