Be careful and review their pricing before staying at this resort…read more Ask them for a complete pricing total including and extra fees. I was hit for an extra $1,000 resort fee (MAP/Social) for a 4 night stay. They never mentioned this MAP/Social fee in the reservation process or listed on my confirmation under "Stay Total". Only far later in the confirmation do they show the "MAP/Social" fee and taxes. My fault for not asking or looking for all of the extra fees they charge. My cost (one person) in May 2026 for a standard room 4 nights (breakfast &dinner) and 8 rounds of golf was $6,800. The resort is very nice. The employees, food and service was very good.

The Poe House is next door to the Museum of Cape Fear and that is where to sign up for your tour…read moreand where the tour starts. A volunteer takes you through the house of E. A. and Josephine Poe. Mr. Poe owned Poe Brick Company. The house is on the National Register of Historic Places. The house is currently getting some much needed maintenance and painting done so make sure to check in advance if it will be open the day you want to visit. The guided tour takes about an hour. The house is a Victorian Style and built from a kit. The wrap around porch and the intricate detailing outside is impressive. The inside of the house is in great condition and has tall ceilings; wide doors and the woodwork is very impressive. It gives a glimpse into early 20th century life. The house has two staircases one for the family and another for the servants. The servants were provided living quarters. The kitchen is detached from the house as the oven was on all day. I highly recommend visiting this beautiful house.

We just took the 2.5 hour basic boat tour with Jordan Lake Journeys and thoroughly enjoyed it…read more Randy is a great guide - very knowledgeable, friendly and laid back. We saw egrets, osprey, herons and as we were heading back to dock, an osprey swooped down, caught a fish and took off - all right in front of the boat. A perfect ending to a great afternoon outing on the lake.

I've gone on a couple ghost tours in other cities and loved them. After reading the reviews for…read moreFayetteville, I was really amped for a tour and booked one for a friend's birthday. One thing I didn't like was you weren't able to buy individual tickets online, you had to purchase 2 or more -- thus making it difficult for me to tell party goers to buy their own ticket. I understand why, but it was also a little inconvenient. We had a group of 6 and then 2 other people accompanied us. Unfortunately, it is currently June and hot as balls here. We also booked right when the governor made it a requirement to wear masks due to COVID, so policy for the tour was you must wear a mask... even if you're outside walking. If you don't have a mask, you have to buy one from your guide and they're $5. Lame, but whatever, keep everyone safe, right? Well, the tour started at the Fayetteville train station and went from there. I honestly feel like it would have been really interesting had our tour guide been more enthusiastic. He was very hard to hear, even with a megaphone, but also didn't really have a good practiced script and kind of stumbled through the entire tour, leaving me questioning how well he actually knew the information... then basically asked for tips at the end and left us feeling obligated to give him something. Would I take another tour from someone else? Perhaps. Is it worth the gamble? I'm not sure. I just didn't feel the magic, sorry!

I tried the pubcrawl and thought it was great. Our guide was knowledgeable, personable, and quirky…read more We went to a cafe, 3 bars, and a club and had a blast. Even though we didn't book until 2 hours before start time they were very accommodating. The only reason I'm not giving this tour 5 stars (I wish 4.5 was an option) is that there were some communication issues between the cafe and the tour company. Clients of the tour thought we would get 30% off of food and the cafe staff seemed to have no idea what we were talking about. Overall though, if I were in the city more than a day I would have definitely tried another one of their tours. Wonderful experience!

Kevin was by far the best driver I've ever had doing a Trolley Pub. He drove us around, and made the whole experience unforgettable. We were able to connect our own music which kept the vibe PERFECT! We made stops to local businesses/bars we didn't even know existed. My new fav is Dad Bod Dive Bar!! You can definitely tell he has done his homework with connecting and building local relationships. He gave us great local insight and recommendations. We danced, laughed, and had an incredible time. His team is super professional and definitely prioritize not only a great time but safety! Five stars all the way! I highly recommend adding this activity to anyone in or visiting the area....just hope you get lucky enough to have Kevin as your guide!!

What a pleasant surprise. Our party of four had a lovely visit…read more Tonight was the annual Christmas Tree lighting nearby - total score to grab dinner here & walk a few feet to the tree!!! No need to worry about finding parking - tell the guy you have a reservation & he'll let you park right there (after checking the list, of course). Dinner was very very good - though it was buffet, appetizer and dessert were brought to the table, all-you-can-eat dinner was delicious (see photo for menu-we tried it all). Only thing I'd change: prime rib crustinis - bread was entirely too hard!!!! Not even edible. Bread pudding was delicious Butternut squash soup was soooo good. Waitstaff was friendly. Ask where the bathrooms are - ladies is upstairs behind the door with a rabbit We'll be back
