Coolfont Resort

Once again loved our time spent here! We stayed at the Woodland house over the weekend & it was so cozy & relaxing.. the trees by the lake in autumn were beautiful, like a movie! The staff checking in and out were very courteous & friendly. Staying at Coolfont is quickly becoming a new tradition for us.. can't wait to see the opening of the main buildings.. keep up the great work everyone !

Overall, I had a decent time at this resort but some things made it feel less like a resort and more just like a simpler and cheaper place to stay. NOTE: There is NO WiFi at the cabins, only at the main lodge(you have to be inside the main lodge–to access the wifi– which closes at 8pm). To get from the lodge to the cabin we stayed at, the road was not well paved—it was bumpy and mostly rocks and unpaved terrain. We stayed at one of the cabins that is a five-minute walk or two-minute drive from the main lodge. The resort is a short drive from the small town and state park with hiking and mountain biking which is amazing Our cabin had a fire pit area, picnic table, porch with chairs, two bedrooms (one with two beds), two full bathrooms, a kitchen table, microwave, coffee machine, heater and AC, and a TV area with couches and chairs. Sadly they only provided us with 3 paper plates and cups, and plastic silverware, there was no room service who came to replenish our eating materials(as we thought there would be) so after one night, we had nothing to eat out of or with. Additionally there is no way to cook/make food, only a microwave to reheat with. The satellite TV service is spotty, and you can’t sign into subscriptions. The people working at the front desk of the lodge were always very resourceful and kind. Unfortunately, the main lodge’s pool and fitness center are only open for limited hours from 10am to 6pm. That was very frustrating because those were the hours of the day I was out mountain biking and hiking. The pool is decently heated and was neither too cold nor too hot. The jacuzzi wasn’t hot at all—it’s actually colder than the pool. There is a sauna there, but it wasn’t open when we went. Right next to the lodge, there are extremely nice pickleball and tennis courts with provided equipment. Sadly, swimming in the lake wasn’t allowed during our stay. The lodge property is decently large with a lot of greenery and hiking trails. I bet it would be very beautiful during the fall with fall foliage.

So So TV did not work the entire time we were there. inconvenient to get towels wash cloths essentials.

Enjoyed staying in one of the cabins in the woods. Property was spacious and unique. Was able to have a nice bonfire Sunday night.

Stayed in one of the cabins. It was up-to-date, simple, and comfortable. Nice to sit on the front porch and enjoy the quiet and fresh air.

A one-night stop on our way to the Outer Banks. The room was spacious and comfortable with a separate bedroom and two bathrooms. Nearby brew pub offered a nice dinner.
