apalachee pool lodge

The kids enjoyed all the games upstairs and the pool. I love the pool being on the main floor with the alarm on the door, the adults could sit at the kitchen table and play games, so we were steps away from the pool. Very quiet and peaceful when we sat outside the firepit. We did see 2 bears in the mornings which the kids loved.

The place was great overall. Very spacious, lots of beds and bedrooms. Our favorite feature was the individual bathroom for each bedroom. The arcade was a hit as well. The hot tub was nice, although a little small. Unfortunately, we were not able to use the pool. The pool room itself had such a strong odor that we could not stay in that room for more than a few seconds.

The property description was accurate regarding the location, layout, and amenities. The only problem was the right upstairs bedroom breaker kept tripping every 20 minutes without any addition items being plugged in which was irritating to go and fix the breaker. The breaker trip issue was only a problem when it got dark since room lights were not needed in the daylight hours.

Our stay at this cabin was extremely disappointing, and unfortunately, there were way too many issues for us to enjoy our vacation. The pool was broken, so we didn’t even get to use it, and to make matters worse, we actually had to help fix the pool ourselves. This should never have been something guests had to deal with during their vacation.
There was mold in the rooms, the washer didn’t work, two of the games upstairs were broken, and one of the beds upstairs was broken as well. The movie room had a burned-out light bulb, making it difficult to enjoy that space. The listing also stated that there was a bathroom in one of the downstairs rooms, but there wasn’t one there as advertised. On top of everything else, the chairs around the fire pit were rotted, so we couldn’t even sit outside and enjoy that area.
For a cabin that is advertised with so many amenities, it was incredibly frustrating to find so many things broken, unusable, or not as described. We spent our time dealing with problems instead of relaxing and enjoying our stay. The lack of maintenance was unacceptable, and the cabin did not live up to what was promised in the listing.
Overall, this was a very frustrating and disappointing experience. We expected a clean, well-maintained cabin with working amenities, but that was far from what we received. Based on our experience, we would not stay here again and would not recommend this cabin to others unless these issues are properly addressed.

The pictures on this rental property are misleading as it was not clean or nearly as nice as advertised. The pool had a horrible musty smell with doors that need to be replaced and an alarm system that is pretty bad as well. The cabin was not very clean upon arrival and most of the beds were not comfortable. The theater does not have a queen bed as advertised. We needed to buy an air mattress. In the room where I stayed, the breaker would trip any time you turned on the light. Literally had nothing lights or power in that room throughout the trip. The games were fun when they worked but everything is outdated and in a desperate need to fix things in this house.

Disappointment. The pool had a scum line, was low on water and the pool area is in total disrepair. The fountains did not work and the whole house stereo system was also completely useless! It rained one evening and we had 3 leaks in the living room. Before we caught the leak, it had soaked one small area on one of two rather dated couches and the other had a large rip to one of the cushions. My daughter went to place her bags in her room and found a rather large fake eye lash stuck to the night stand! Management did have the pool company out the next day to at least make it useable, however, you still had to swim in an area that at best was less than appealing. Certainly nothing like the pictures seen on their advertisement! I was assured someone would get back with me about my displeasure after asking for at minimum a partial refund... crickets! I urge anyone thinking of booking this particular home to NOT! I would truly like to attach photos here that I have taken of the issues written above.
