Staying at Belas Resort Wills ,Texas Tiny home (#100) was one of the worst experience my family…read moreendured for a short weekend vacation. Once we arrived at the cabin, and got settled in cabin 100 and we noticed that the TV didn't work in the living room. The internet was so slow we couldn't use our iPads. There were no extra trash bags only the one in the trash can. The refrigerator light and icemaker was broken. Hours later we noticed the freezer was not working so our food defrosted. The beds were horrible.... the queen and king size mattresses for sunken the middle. Felt like we were sleeping on the floor and there was loud buzzing sound all night. There were only 3 face towels and 3 drying towels for 5 people for two days. We called for service and the property manager came over. She could not fix the fridge or the TV. She said she would call maintenance man but he never showed up. We never got more towels, but she did drop off trash bags by the front door. We text and called about the maintenance man, but the property management would not respond. Even after we left on Sunday we never got a respond from anyone. We did not get what we paid for and management was not professional. I will share this experience with everyone I know. Do not stay at Belas , Willis, Texas

This property had the potential to be a great weekend get-away, however, it fell short…read more The inside of the cabin was clean, well maintained and had the needed items - except for the pans that were non-stick and very damaged to the point that we did not use them. The property itself needs to be given much needed cleaning. There was trash all over the property, half painted decks, boards popping up on the deck with the potential of tripping over and just an overall feeling of yuck. Because the property is actually not on the larger body of Lake Conroe, it was more of a pond with very shallow water. Because of that at times there was a rotting smell from the water. The cabins are VERY close together, so close, you can actually touch the cabins next door. This also results in hearing people stomp to their cabins, at 1am, to the "lake" side of their cabin. Being the middle of March, we expected the pool to be cold, but hopefully the hot tub would be enjoyable - the hot tub did not work - it was colder than the pool. There was a nice cabana type sitting area with a fire pit, but it appeared to be damaged with a bag of rocks on top of it. The lights that were around the cabana were half hanging/half laying on the ground. There is a common inside area that has a pool table. There are missing balls and the pool table is significantly damaged and extremely dirty. There is a beach area which was mostly sand, half constructed cabanas, a torn down fence in a pile for a bonfire. We didn't even go out far onto the beach because it was half sand/half dirt. The bait shop was fully stocked and the employees there were very helpful and friendly. Overall, we enjoyed our trip because we had an amazing time exploring the area and the family time we had together. Again, the cabin meet all our basic needs. The property has the potential to be great, but it is not there at this time.

We were told we could rent fishing poles to fish off of our balcony & buy bait at local tackle shops. The unit itself was beautiful & had everything we needed for a weeklong stay. The beds were both king sized & very comfortable. The air conditioning cooked the entire unit off, when needed. There is a community laundry room you can access with your room key, bring change. There are so many little spots you can walk to & the surrounding neighborhood is gorgeous. The entire area is so quaint & quiet. Stores & restaurants are a short drive away. I spent most mornings & evenings just sitting in the balcony watching the birds, sunrise, sunsets & fisherman on their boats. I wouldn't hesitate to return!

The grounds were well cared for and it was not crowded, even though it was spring break. My friend had to meet us at the resident center to get us a visitor badge. We had a two bedroom cabin and had plenty of space for a nice fun friends weekend. Each bedroom had queen/full beds and there was a full sized refrigerator. The kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans, plates, cups and bowls. There was a coffee maker and oven. The bedrooms were spacious and restroom well stocked with toiletries and towels. We should have gotten charcoal to make burgers on the grill. The dining room and living room had enough space for us to spread out. The WiFi was very good, some of us had work and school so needed connections. They have a new swimming pool and club house that was not there last time we visited. The doors have a key fob that goes on your wrist, no keys to lose. We saw deer prancing across the field as we left.

I wrecked a Jet Ski for my birthday…read more This review was 5,000 words (way too many in anyone's opinion) and I feel like I left out some of the stuff you actually need to know, so now I'm redoing it. If you do want some reading material, I'll send you it, but you have to ask.... The rental place had sent out two search parties, but they failed to find us either time and we were well within the allowed travel area. They told us after the ordeal, that we could have started the Jet Ski without the key by lifting up on the button that the key helps hold up. My sister and I both being completely not gifted in the area of mechanics and engineering never would have considered that, and frankly, I think we both panicked and didn't even think about trying to manually start it. To make matters worse, the compartment that held the bullhorn behind the seat would not open, so there was no way for me to make enough noise to draw the attention I needed. There was no way for me to open and stay upright on the Jet Ski. We had to wait around for the rental place to collect their jet ski; when they found it, it was sitting vertical, with the steering column up against the bars being beaten repeatedly thrown against the rocks by the waves. There was a nice sized hole in the plexi glass bottom and had collected a lot of water inside, but due to the large hole, it drained in minutes. Needless to say, I was thoroughly traumatized by the situation and dreaded when anyone asked me how my birthday went because I could only think about getting the flu and the Jet Ski accident. The damage to the Jet Ski totaled some $2,400, but we had to put the original damage estimate on our credit card which was $3,500 plus the cost of the 3 rentals. We obviously hadn't planned for that kind of added cost for our trip and that sucked, but what sucks more is that it has taken them just about 2 months now to give us the remaining $1,100 back that wasn't used for the repair. I basically own a Jet Ski that I'll never get to ride. I'm not saying that the owner isn't a nice guy, because my husband called him today and he was appalled by the fact that we had not yet been reimbursed. However, as we are the only lucky recipients of the freak accident award that they have ever heard of and the fact that the money owed was such a large amount, isn't this something that demands a little more attention? I don't want to scare you all away from riding Jet Skis, but I'd like you to take this away from my story of financial tragedy and emotional distress: * Don't go Jet Skiing when the weather is turbulent, especially very windy; this can cause large, choppy waves and increase the likelihood that you will have issues returning to the vessel in case you get tipped over. *Secondly, I advise you to always wear your life vest since you never really know when something as ridiculous as this will occur and you don't want to take that chance with your life or the life of a loved one. *Also, if you are going to engage in water sports, it may help for you to be a strong swimmer as well as how to navigate undertow. *Always make sure the equipment on your Jet Ski is completely functional i.e. the key having a flotation strap, being able to access the emergency horn and if anything is not right, don't take it out. *Consider getting watercraft insurance if you don't have the funds to pay for damages on the spot. Lastly, before you leave, always ask if there is a way to start the Jet Ski without a key in case of an emergency. I strongly feel that it was the responsibility of the renters to divulge this information, but they said that they have never had this issue before; plus, they added, that they would not want everyone to know how to start them without keys because they believe theft would increase. I also believe it is their responsibility to lock up their watercraft so that they don't get stolen without relying on keeping the emergency start information a secret. All in all, this wasn't a bad place to rent from; we just had a really bad experience. It was all the small things that added up that created disaster in the end. I suppose the conditions we just right for it. If I can help just one person from this review or save one life, then my goal has been accomplished. Please be careful and conscientious when you go out on the water and be a knowledgeable renter. I'll leave you with one last thought that I learned from my experience. If something isn't meant to be, don't force it; you'll get bad results.

Our first experience speaks volumes: We moved from out of state, and were in a short term rental that didn't allow dogs. Along the way, our GSD Knight developed a problem attitude around being kenneled, which resulted in him getting asked to leave a couple of boarding places, which was super distressing. Forest Shadows was recommended by a friend who warned me they had a couple low online reviews at the time, but she personally attested to how great they were with her 2 nippy dogs. Since I trusted her and we needed help, we reached out, discussed his behaviors, and enrolled him in the Board & Train 2 week program which worked perfectly with our timeline. It was a GOD-SEND. Long story short: Knight came back to us super happy and way better trained. The staff communicated specific adjustments to help his kennel issues, monitored situations when our dog didn't respond well, adjusted accordingly, and more importantly expressed they "weren't going to give up on him and were willing to keep trying." I literally cried when they told me that. What really exemplifies Forest Shadow's amazing staff is our experience moving out of the US during the global pandemic. After we sold our home, we boarded Knight, we flew to the UK, and relied on Forest Shadows to work with our Pet Relocation team so he could join us overseas. The relocation process got delayed a few times, and he ended up boarding with Forest Shadows for just over 2 months. During this trying time, they were patient, flexible, willing to assist, and sympathetic to our changing circumstances. I was so grateful we didn't have to stress about our dog! All the staff delivered great customer service: front desk Ms. Terri helped me understand the best combination of services, both Ms. Rachaels facilitated our visits, Mr. Terry was great at doggy day care, and Trainer Terry even did a refresh training. In particular, Ms. Laurie and Mr. Michael were our angels, as they worked with me and the pet travel company, kept me posted regarding food, medicine, and treat needs, and helped me problem solve issues like getting him transported for health checks, and even finding a USDA approved Vet. We are truly grateful that Forest Shadows never gave up on our vocal uber-energetic GSD, and they were absolutely instrumental in helping us move our furkid overseas so he could be home with us. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND them and can attest to their level of commitment.
