Great location. Love the bathroom and shower room. Nice little town, walking distance from the site. The trains are common at night and pretty loud.

Wonderful location, a short walk from juliette and the Whistle Stop Cafe. Lovely wooded area and a trail in the back of the retreat. The cabins are lovely overlooking the creek.

Perfect place for river and train lovers. Juliette is a cute place and the dam park is beautiful and only a couple minutes walk away. The river is beautiful and the old mill is cool to see too. Bathhouse/bathroom is clean and cozy. Great for an overnight on the way up or down I-75.

My husband and I enjoyed our time here. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The retreat is beautiful, the bathrooms and showers were clean. Enjoyed sitting by the lake and listening to the sound of the train. Great getaway from the city life.

Cool site. I wish I was staying longer. Just got a tent site for the night. The site said there were no cabins available but looked like only 2 or 3 were being used out of like 15. Lots of trains, which I got used to and is kinda the point.

Our group enjoyed tent camping! It's located in between two shower/toilet facilities. Keep in mind the river is viewable from tent sites, but it is directly in front of the cabins (widely spaced for maximum viewing).. The bathrooms were clean. The kids enjoyed splashing in the water by cabin one, and the baby goats at the mill. The adults liked walking into the town for lunch and buying gifts at the little shops from The Whistle Stop Cafe. We'd tent camp at the site again closer to fall, but I think we'll rent a few cabins on the river next time. Yes, the loud trains do come by at night. We were prepared with noise canceling headphones after reading past posts. I highly suggest packing earplugs, noise canceling headphones, or noise dampening device to help. We all had a wonderful time. It's a really short drive getting out of the perimeter.

Nice facilty. Clean showers/restrooms. Train was about 100 feet away, came through 5-6 times through the night. Weather was way too cold. Had to get hotel room for two of our three night stay.

the old mill, cabins along the flowing river the railroad, spooky said my 9 year old but really cozy as well. When we went, there was some bad weather coming in and we were the only field site campers. We were approached by management who let us know. They left the bunkhouse open for us and weather got too bad, which was very kind. Overall, really cool spot.

We absolutely love staying here. The site was nice and clean and close to the river. Brandi the site host was amazing and answered all of our questions. The train for most people may be a little loud but we live close to a track anyway so it was not as bad as the reviews I had read.
We will most definitely stay again.

This was our third visit here and as always everything was well maintained and clean. Katelin checked in us when we arrived and made sure we were able to get our site set up. We’re looking forward to another visit soon.
