    Used condom under our 'clean' bed in our 'clean' room we just got in. We paid extra for the 'upgraded' room they said.
    JD B.

    WARNING: PICTURE OF USED CONDOM UNDER OUR BED. This is our second time here. We love being able to rent a boat and we love that there's a pool and restaurant/bar. But both our room last yr and this yr were disgusting. This yr... booked a room. Hoped that it would be better. When we got to the hotel we asked if we could have a lakeside room. They said yes, but had to up-charge me $60. We get into our 'upgraded room'... Spiderwebs and a used condom under the bed. Told the front desk. Front Desk says there's no Manager. Which I believe. The only adult on staff I saw all weekend was the guy working the breakfast buffet. The Front Desk told me I should call the Manager on Monday. They handed me a business card. The so called Manager's name on the card is Jessica Atchison. There are 2 phone numbers on the card. Neither one works... busy signal on both. I doubt this person even works there. I doubt I'll ever hear from anyone. Surprise me please. This really suck because the water amenities are really nice. Alot of the good reviews here are by people who have NOT actually stayed overnight at the hotel. They've used the marina or went to the bar or had dinner. So much potential. It just seems like there's no management. Or the ownership is really out of touch. No one directing anyone. We did have a great waitress named Lakota for dinner on night so maybe she can get some credit for that if anyone reads this. Thats enough for now. Never like to write a bad review. I hardly ever have to. Pretty sure this is my first time writing a bad review for a hotel.

    Table and chairs on balcony

    To start with we arrived on an out of season date and stayed for 4days. The first day we were the only ones there it was so darn quiet. Absolutely loved the quiet bad part was the Wi-Fi is terrible it's not password protected so our devices had a hard time staying connected and safe. Kept dropping us. Then BOTH their restaurants were closed. I had asked when we booked were they going to be open and was informed they would be but NOT. Oh well used Yelp and found 3 fantastic places. Fairfax Bar and Grill just a mile down the road, Eagle Point 3 miles away has Sahm's restaurant in a swanky golf club location, then we went to Bloomington to El Rancho's and had the best Mexican I'd had in years. So it was a blessing Four Winds Resort restaurants were both closed. They did have a dry continental breakfast in the mornings which was better than nothing. The rooms are very spacious and clean ours had a balcony overlooking the water of Lake Monroe and the huge marina. Beds and linens were very nice and the room has a 50 inch TV. Bathroom was clean with a full appointment of towels and wash cloths nice and soft. We got a chuckle at a note under the sink where they kept the extra towels. Two of the towels have a blue stripe which denotes they are for pool use only and if you don't bring them back from the pool there will be a $10 charge per each LOL. So we gave it 3 stars mainly since there were no restaurants open in the evening but exploring the area we did find exceptional replacements. We suggest going in season like we'll do next years and rent a boat or house boat if their available.

    DO NOT STAY HERE!! This was the worst hotel we have ever stayed in. It is so dirty, and the staff is awful. We arrived a little before 3PM and were told the room was ready but we would have to pay an early check-in fee. We said we would go to the bar and were told there were only 2 people working so if we wanted any of the terrible food that is on their limited menu, our options were a BBQ outside at 5 or pizza after 3:30. We received one pool towel and when we asked for another one, we were told you get one pool towel per room, so we had to share one for our day on the boat as were only given two bath towels as well. The pool was packed with screaming children and smelled so badly of urine; we were not going anywhere near that. The "beach" was also a joke with only a couple chairs and broken umbrellas. We had to clean our patio so we could sit outside-it was covered with spiders and cobwebs. We finally had it on day 2 when we were woken up to gangster rap blaring down the hall. We also had so much mold on our A/C, we were having a hard time breathing. There is nothing to do here without the amenities or renting a boat-unless you drive into town, but that's a 20 minute drive. Overall, this place is just absolutely disgusting. We are covered in bites hoping they are spider bites.... Oh, and the lamps in the room do not work-and be sure to check out the pic of the trash can..

    I'm sure this resort was one heck of a place in its day...but today, this resort is in need of a good cleaning. It's one thing to be run down and in need of a facelift, but this place is just plain filthy. We had bugs in the bathroom. Went to front desk and asked for some bug spray. They wouldn't give us any because they said they couldn't give us a chemical to use. So they said they'd come down and spray. They never did. They need to fire their cleaning staff and hire some folks that actually take pride in their work. Oh and the dead bolt was broken. The girl at the front desk wouldn't even look at us when speaking. Simply pitiful for a $200/night room.

    Beautiful sunrise

    I had a wonderful experience at Fourwinds Lakeside Inn and Marina. The hotel is nicely decorated. I had a stone wall in my room that made me feel like I was in a castle. I had a beautiful view of the marina from my balcony. The staff was friendly knowledgeable and efficient. The grounds are beautiful I enjoyed peaceful walks down to the beach and marina. The bartender and servers in the restaurant were awesome. very attentive and friendly. I had dinner and drinks and everything was delicious. The indoor/ outdoor pool is beautiful. I enjoyed sitting poolside relaxing. I look forward to my next visit and highly recommended it.

    Walkway toward Marina

    Most of the reviews here are true but I'm giving this place four stars because they are clearly trying. Stayed here May 13-15, 2022. Pros - the resort is in a lovely setting and has an impeccable exterior. Very photogenic. It's a nice getaway if you don't need fancy. The in-room mini fridge and mini microwave were much appreciated. Lakeside view rooms have semi- private porches. Cons - The weekend per night fee was not good value. (Try a weekday!) The rooms and resort interior are tired. The pool is open to any of the hundreds of boat slip renters with their hundreds of kids. ((Luckily the obnoxious and poorly behaved parents retreat back to their boats, not the room next to you)) Observations - if you overpaid for a Lakeview room like I did, you can save money by bringing your own food and enjoying it on the porch. The rooms face east so you'll experience a gorgeous sunrise. If you want to see the sunset you'll have to walk or drive over to the other side of the peninsula (off-site). The porches do not have screen doors. They should, but I'm guessing they are hard to maintain. The resort no pets policy doesn't mean you won't see pets. There are plenty of folks walking their dogs on the grounds. They stay on the boats, not in the hotel. All of the dogs we met were good boys and girls. Due to staffing shortages, your room will not be cleaned while you are there unless you're staying longer than three days. If you need your bed remade or extra towels, you have to ask. I needed extra shampoo and the staff member who helped me was very friendly. Overall, I recommend Fourwinds for a scenic no frills getaway, but only if you go during the week. Bring your own food and booze. Avoid weekends due to the price. Not worth $225 per night (with taxes and fees). See

    Reservation (1 of 5) clearly states cancel by July 3.

    Paradise made it very easy for me and my family to set sail on Lake Monroe this summer. We had…read morenever been on a boat together before, and I was kind of wondering what I had gotten ourselves into when we stepped aboard. The thoughts running through my head included: How the heck does a boat work? How am I going to shuttle us along safely when I've never driven a boat before? And other anxious boating thoughts. But luckily, Paradise makes it easy to rent a vessel and take it out on the lake, even if you've never driven a boat before. First, when you book your reservation, you are directed to watch a long video about the dos and don't of boating on a lake. Then, the kind people at Paradise go over the rules again when you're there before you shuttle off. It turns out that boating isn't super difficult, as long as you follow some common-sense rules! And also, always wear a life jacket! We rented a pontoon, which is great if you have kids with you because this vessel has a canopy that provides lots of shade. Kids can't be in the sun all day, you know! The pontoons also have lots of storage space so you have places to put all of your snacks and extra supplies. We spent about three hours out on the lake, and by the end of the journey, I felt like I was almost a boating pro! Renting from Paradise was a great experience from start to finish, and I'll definitely be renting from them again the next time we want to spend time boating on Lake Monroe.

There are within sight of each other. The store is basically stocked to support the campers but also the people renting boats who may have forgot some critical needs. For such a tiny store they have managed to stock just about every need one could think of. And no matter how prepared you think you are, it seems you always forget something or run out of some supplies. This store has been a lifesaver for us. We needed a smaller styrofoam cooler to take on a boat instead of our full size cooler on wheels - check, they had it. We needed something to go on a sunburn - check, they had it. And it was a great product, an aloe gel with lidocaine. We forgot to bring the cereal, brought the milk, but forgot the cereal - check, they had eight kinds to choose from including our favorite, Frosted Flakes. Last year when we brought the granddaughters, they had all that weird packaged candy they like. And of course, they have three giant freezers of bagged ice. At $2.50 a bag, I think that's pretty reasonable all things considered. Some prices are high but fair for being remote. Kroger is six miles away. They aren't gouging you like some places outside the State Recreation Area.

(And the lake isn't as busy) As someone who has boated on Monroe my whole life, jet skis created a whole new experience of the lake. I had never driven one, but it was super simple. Next time I'll rent one for longer. :) No complaints in regards to the staff. It's never a bad idea to take photo/video of the jet ski or boat before you head out on the water though. They were very thorough with us and I felt prepared! You may want to note that a $7 fee is required to get into the park where they are located- unless you hold the state park pass!

    My husband and I just recently visited the Antler Log Cabins to celebrate his birthday. We've had…read morea lot of changes in our lives recently and have realized that getting away from the daily grind and stepping out into nature is truly healing for the both of us. If serenity, peace and nature are what you seek, this is a good place to start. We arrived near dusk and while the directions to the address were clear and straightforward, once you arrive at the property, it isn't extremely clear where each of the cabins are located. One sign said "Anglers Serenity something" and I recognized that Anglers was the name of our cabin, but I didn't know the names of the other cabins, so it was a bit confusing. I saw the "road" (and I use that term loosely) leading down towards a wooded area and I became afraid. It was steep and narrow and my Lincoln MKZ is not exactly what one would consider and all-terrain vehicle, so I told my husband to take the wheel (along with Jesus)! In my opinion, that road is dangerous and if there were ice or snow present, I might have decided to abort mission. While booking, I did note that one location mentioned that you had to have 4-wheel drive for that particular cabin, but not the Anglers where we were staying. After making it to our cabin safely, we decided that we wouldn't be leaving until sun-up the next day, so we got settled in. The cabin was lovely and cozy and clean (for the most part). I did notice a few cobwebs on the multitude of antlers and when I unrolled one of the towels left in the basket by the fireplace (meant to be used while utilizing the hot tub) there were long, straight, light-colored hairs entangled in them. My hair is short, curly and dark and my husband has a very low haircut. The only other complaint that we had was that the window over the kitchen sink had no window covering. I could not help but to feel like someone was standing there peering at us from the darkness each night. The highlight of our stay was definitely the hot tub. I don't know about you, but I've always wanted to soak in an outdoor hot tub on a chilly Autumn or Winter day. I can finally tick that off of my bucket list! The hot tub was set to a delightful 102 degrees Fahrenheit and that was perfect for the 40 degree weather. When we first stepped in, it felt too hot, but once fully submerged it proved to be perfect! We will definitely return once it is warmer so that we can go fishing in the pond and use the paddle boat! This place is ideal for people who want tranquility, but don't like being "out in the boonies"! We popped into a Target location just about 12 minutes away for provisions and there were lots of options for food located in nearby Bloomington.

The ease in renting and getting access was extremely easy. When we stayed here we also made reservations to rent a boat with Fourwinds Marina on Lake Monroe. The 21 mile drive from the cabin to the marina takes only 37 minutes. Add this to their list of options of things to do and see in the Bloomington area. I grilled steaks outside on their grill while she cooked the rest of the meal in the kitchen. We had a great meal, because the owners had prepped us very well. They tell you exactly everything you need to bring and what they already provide. There were no last minute stops or hunting down a grocery. As you can see from their photos, their cabin is beautiful. I'm sure all the others are just as nice. We will definitely be returning in the very near future.
