Buford Vacation Packages

Check in was fine. I all started when I got to my room. Upon entering a noticed a big stain on the carpet just outside of the bathroom. It appeared to be either blood or vomit, which wasn't fun walking past for three days. Then I tried putting something in the safe, it didn't work. Then I grabbed the phone to call about the safe, and the phone was not working. Was I getting punked? Lastly, in the most disturbing, the sliding bathroom door would not shut all the way, thus having no privacy. Would not recommend this old hotel.

The property is beautiful and has a lot of untapped potential. However, the website is very deceiving. There are 3 lakes with fishing, paddle boarding, canoeing, and kayaking available. There is archery and shooting for an extra cost. However, horseback riding and ATV's are no longer available (apparently for years), although the website still mentions both. The restaurant was closed as there is no chef at this time and staff had no idea when it would reopen. The only place to eat was the little store with coffee, snacks, and a few refrigerated sandwiches, but no breakfast or dinners as per the website. There is also a limited pool-side menu. We had to drive to Serenby to eat, which was quite an inconvenience. Staff were super friendly and did everything possible to make our stay enjoyable. As a make up for not having a restaurant, we were given a complementary golf cart for a day. The room and bathroom were very spacious and clean, but we did not get any room service during our stay. The buildings could really use some paint as the lakeside side of the cottages/hotel has peeling paint and the screened-in porches have lots of broken parts. Overall, we enjoyed the outdoors with hiking and lake activities. However, you can't call something a RESORT without having full service, all the resort amenities, and a restaurant. Also, the website needs to be updated to reflect the current state of the property. Not exactly the pampered weekend we were expecting.

Great location, 20 minutes away from the city. The description of the property actually is an undersell. Great value.

The rooms are spacious, beautiful, modern and extremely clean. The staff was so kind and helpful from check-in to check-out. The bar and restaurant area were also fantastic. I’ve already recommended this hotel to friends and family. 10/10!
