Porterdale Vacation Packages

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.

Well maintained property in a good location.

My wife, active duty Air Force who flew in from Germany days prior to our stay to celebrate our 1 year wedding anniversary with me, Marine Corps, Retired disabled veteran. My wife at 4am August 2nd been denied for hour to enter her room by staff. She was unable to reach me at the time. Staff made no attempts to contact me with an issue. Z checked us in to the hotel together on August 1st. We called mutiple times to front desk to repor the matter but our room phone was not working, and calls made by cell phone were answered with messages left each time but never received a single call back, we were ignored. This complaint will be sent to BBB and posted online. Very disappointed in the treatment we recieved by this hotel staff. This incident ruined our anniversary.
