    Gross

    While I appreciate the effort put into providing a variety of family fun activities that the kids enjoyed, the actual accommodations need significant improvement. The presence of mold and mildew in the shower made it unusable, and the overall upkeep of the facility is lacking. The floors and baseboards are dirty, and many light fixtures either don't work or have missing bulbs. The most concerning issue is the apparent water damage and mold problems. Visible signs of water issues, such as old ceiling patch jobs, and the mold have caused several of us to experience symptoms like runny noses, eye irritations, headaches, and coughing. The "bring a pet and pay a $300 cleaning fee" is a joke, the floors here are so gross I wouldn't let my child play on it. I hope the owners address these critical issues to ensure a healthier and more pleasant stay for future guests, but I won't ever be back here.

    Our cabin is the first picture posted on their Facebook page as the winner of the cabin decorating contest.

    We had an absolutely wonderful first trip to Marval. However, we won the cabin decorating contest during the Halloween festivities this year and forgot to pick up our certicate for a two night stay in a deluxe cabin. We called when we were only one hour away and were reassured they would keep this for us and we could call to book our next stay at Marval. I called today to do so and was told by the general manager Stacy that I was given the wrong information by her staff and that maybe had I called within a week to rebook or turned around to get the paper certificate this would have been honored. I am extremely disappointed in this response when I was reassured that we did not need to turn around to get the certificate. I am also very disappointed in the way I was dismissed on the phone and told there was nothing she could do to make this right.

    dirty blinds, holes in walls, broken furniture, insulation hanging out, rusted sink

    Dirty, smelly, old cabins. We rented three deluxe cabins for our family for thanksgiving. There was nothing deluxe about them! They were dirty, smelly, gross and old. The blinds were very dirty, broke, did not fit windows, holes in the walls, rusted bathroom sink, dirty floors, smelled bad, lights flickered, shower's did not drain, leaking plumbing, dirty grout, gaps in walls. Not acceptable. These are not the ones our family stayed in before. These are the ones that are dog friendly! They are gross, dirty, and should not be rented!!

    After many, many years of taking my kids here, I will never ever spend another dime with them. I'm the guy that *rarely ever* complains about a bad experience online, and always gives a glowing review when I can. In this case I want to warn anyone that might consider going, they should be aware what they're walking into. The site we paid for was $75... Long story ahead, but the way we were treated was unfathomable, and I hope nobody EVER experiences anything like it there again. We arrived Thursday and our site was under water, but a couple guys were trying to pump water so they started helping me figure out how to get in the site. Ended up parking backwards, unable to use the sewer hookup I paid for, and they got the water to drain with a sump pump just enough to hook up the utilities without being under water. I asked the office if there was anything they could do, and was told "Well you can go home if you don't want to deal with it" - mind you these sites are all reserved a year ahead, so the kids and their friends I brought would be devastated if I took that option. I sucked it up and made the best of it. Overnight, it rained again, and these pictures are how we woke up the next morning. I called and spoke with a sweet lady, told her we were trapped, I mean who wants to get out in 4-6" of water when there's electric lines connected in the middle of the water? I simply asked if she could let the kind gents know that had so kindly tried to help the day before, maybe they could bring their sump pump. She called me back 5 minutes later, said "I'm so sorry to tell you this, but when I went over the walkie to say y'all needed help, the ladies in the office immediately replied with "DON'T BOTHER"... I thought, oh gosh I wish you wouldn't have told me that... She went on to say the guy over housekeeping also said "Yeah don't bother"... I pleaded for them to just get in a golf cart and come *look* at how bad it was. Nope. Nothing. At that point the lady said they have water shoes in the office they could sell me. Sooooo, we stayed in the camper all day. No offer to drag a table over to help us get out, nothing. Eventually a kind neighbor brought over a pallet so we could get out. Of course on the 3rd day, it started drying out, and the kids eventually got to experience the fun halloween activities, despite the absolutely horrific customer "service" at this place. Mid-day a friend camping down the road caught one of the very awesome maintenance guys and informed them of our situation, and he brought his pump down to try and help too. I hope they actually fix this site, or get rid of it so people don't get totally screwed like we did. Be warned, if you have any issues at Marval, they will likely tell you "You can go home if you don't like it"...

    Never stay here! We got severely bitten by beg bugs over a year ago. Our family has been going here for many years so we thought we would give it another chance now that it's under new management. After one night, we all had bed bug bites all over us. It was a cold December night and we were inside mostly and there was a screened porch so no risk of mosquitoes. Management did not care and proceeded to rent the cabin out again after that and did not believe us even though the majority of cabins on site were mysteriously vacant yet also unavailable. I peeked in and it looked like the one we stayed in before while it was being treated for bed bugs. Do not stay here. Pic attached showing the cabin which I'm thankful we took because they do not believe their guests and continue to rent cabins out knowingly with bed bugs. Best part? No refunds!

    Just planted their pumpkin seed at the magic pumpkin field.   Fairy's and scarecrows are so fun!

    Nothing about this place I don't like. Reminds me of Dirty Dancing. I'll bet this place rocks in summer

    When we went down to the river it was a tad bit crowded so glad we were higher up on the hill away from it.

    It's a lake. Water, shoreline, rocks... how do you review lakes? The skipping stones were Olympic…read morequality and that dude's dog was having g fun and didn't smell bad. They need to work on the shoreline as I've had much better shoreline in San Diego and Italy. I found a sandwich on a rock and it didn't have Mayo. It was dry, which is especially bad since I am reviewing a small body of fresh water. Work on the Mayo, maybe a little garlic aioli next time. ​​

    Very nice large lake and recreation area in Rogers. There was a lot of parking and lots to do! They…read moreseem to host events here often and there were a lot of people set up in the grass under canopys and tents. They had a few walking bridges and a nice section by the parking lot with splash areas. The lake was much larger than I thought and had a large paved trail around it all. It was 1.8 miles total with some sections in the direct sun and some uphill so be prepared. There were a few benches and stops to rest on the trail but the only bathrooms were in the front. There were a lot of of people fishing and many concrete docks to walk out on which I thought was a great feature. I did see a lot of garbage in the water and ground and not enough trash cans for sure. Also a lot of goose poop but I guess that happens. We saw many birds, turtles, and fish which my kids liked a lot! I do recommend checking this nice lake out for fishing, nature exploring, or a nice walk.
