Amazing Folks and Location!
Christine and Kennedy are amazing. We stayed kin the cabin with views of Lake George. Mouth-dropping natural beauty. Did I mention that this is RIGHT in front of the water? Their hot tub is also in front of the water. What an amazing treat. They also have an outdoor/indoor entertainment room which is super fun. You can stream music, do some singing karaoke style… Also, it doesn’t feel like anyone else is there, even if the glamping tents/other cabin are filled. Everyone is super mindful. It’s not at all an in-your-face nudist/420 resort. Super respectful vibes. People will respect it if you choose to smoke or sunbathe naked. No gawkers or anything like that. Just beautiful vibes. Their response is super quick when it comes to any questions and they have a way about them that reminds me to leave worries out the door. Christine is an AMAZING personal chef! Make sure to sign up for food at the resort because it will be the BEST option. I really hope to get the opportunity to return from Wilmington NC. I thought that my city by the beach had the best chill vibes but this is on another level. Thank you for blessing our road trip Christine and Kennedy!

The place WAS amazing at one time I’m sure. We arrived and thought it was shut down, upon entering the property we can tell this wasn’t what we had thought. As we opened the door a blast of smelly mold hits you right away almost hard to breath honestly, things weren’t cleaned in forever and they CHARGED us for a cleaning fee WOW!!! They had cockroaches wondering the floor roaming around and somehow we managed to stay the night (we had the place for two nights). The dock was all busted up and you can’t walk out to the end, I’d say the only enjoying moments was a little bit of fishing (no fish but plenty of gators) and the sunsetting. We left and got a hotel room for the 2nd night. Not recommend at all

Same shit, different campsite
We booked this campsite for a birthday getaway. It's advertised as 420 friendly and clothing optional. After reading the reviews with my partner, we thought even if there were other campers sharing the space with us, they would be like minded. We could not have been more wrong. My birthday weekend was effectively ruined by the same drunk assholes that polute every public camping space. The other guests sharing this site with us were rude, drunk, loud, and inconsiderate of everyone else's personal space. Instead of spending a weekend reconnecting with my partner, we spent the weekend sleeping in the car to get away from these people. We had no space to relax, we had no break from the constant badgering, and we both left even more exhausted than we arrived. We ended up leaving a day early because the other campers were that unbearable. We tried to give them the benefit of the doubt. I don't like complaining, I'm the type to shut my mouth and try to just move past it. When I brought my concerns to the host, he was understanding, and mentioned this was the ONLY weekend he had ever had complaints from his neighbors about anyone. Over the phone, he was very apologetic and agreed to refund the one night of the three that we did not stay. Instead, I later got a text that my situation was outside of their return policy and was instead offered "a free night," as compensation. Given the distance and cost, I will not be back. Definitely a 30th birthday to remember.

Worth the 5hr Drive!!
I booked this place when I was scrambling to put together a last minute road trip for my boyfriends birthday. I didn't expect for this place to be one of the best stops on our trip. The glamping situation was very comfortable. The place is head to toe decorated in signs and artwork, enough to keep you entertained for a few hours. && the other people who stayed there during our stay were fun, and interesting and made the trip so much more enjoyable. We immediately all became friends and stayed up playing pool and hanging out. && then to wake up to a peaceful lake and coffee with our new friends was great. Thanks so much for having us!

So blessed!
Runaway Bay Lodge will now be a part of my monthly/bi monthly rejuvenation process. I have a pretty intense job where I am constantly pouring into other's glasses. I came solely to celebrate my birthday individually and have left with a sacred space to leave recalibrated and rejuvenated to continue thriving professionally. If you are looking for a magical, wondrous land and experience, this is the place. Just in 2 days I had the opportunity to meet such beautiful people. My glass has overflown and I am so blessed to have found this space. Thank you so much Christina and Kennedy for such amazing hospitality and connection <3 Look forward to returning soon.

Yurt
Overall a great venue for sunsets and relaxing…can be chilly so bring extra blanket/towels. Everyone in the complex was friendly including the hosts..This is a ceiling vented Yurt… it was rainy and temps dropped at night… I was appreciative of the blanket and heater that was provided…it was close to kitchen/bar/gathering area… but noise was never a issue.

Kennedy's land was unique and so peaceful. Be sure to watch each sunrise and sunset from the deck. My dog, Checkers, felt welcome and at home while relaxing next to the lake.

We stayed in one of the cabins and it was very peaceful and relaxing. Christina and Kennedy are amazing people and are so welcoming and inviting. We did the the extra add ons and it was definitely an unique experience. We will be back to enjoy more of the property after the baby is born. If you’re looking for a relaxing, laid back adventure, this place is a must!! It is a judgment free zone, so come as your are !!

A place to leave all worries behind and fully recharge. Amazingly located right on the lake, we had awesome time. We spotted an alligator and some flying fish. The hosts are amazing and cooked a delicious dinner (my son finished the whole salad plate, which never happened before). The site has all amenities one would need.

Beautiful view, not what I expected
The positives: Beautiful view. Felt like we were in a bay near the ocean. Watching the sunset and listening to the small waves was relaxing. The kitchen and room had everything we needed. The tiki bar area offered a lot of activities and options. We ended up watching one of the DVDs from there in our room. We didn’t end up using a kayak but were glad they were available. Lots of places to sit. The dock offered a place to fish. We also were happy to take advantage of the hot tub. Negatives: This place has a ton of potential and maybe it was in a better state as some point but it could use some repair and upkeep. The photos in the listing are very nice but didn’t quite match up with the state of the place. The “beautiful decay” style was cool but taken a bit far. Rotting wood in the deck and buildings and holes in screens etc. I was by no means expecting luxury and generally appreciate a wild, rustic environment. The inside and outside areas could have been cleaner. The cabin did have a mildew smell and faint smoke smell in the cabin. The bed linens smelled strongly of detergent fragrance. The floor just inside the front door was squishy in a spot and felt like it could fall through. Most concerning is that it is both clothing optional AND has cameras in places where guests would be hanging out (nude). There are also signs about audio surveillance on the premises. We noticed these signs upon arrival. I understand having cameras near the entrance but… Hopefully this helps

Laid back, unique, fantastic hosts
What a great weekend getaway. Peaceful lake views. Kennedy and his wife couldn’t have been more pleasant and accommodating. They have a great vibe, and it translates to their cabins. We hung out by the fire pit, did karaoke in the bar area, and chose the dinner option, which I would strongly recommend. Kennedy’s wife makes excellent jerk chicken. Wonderful spot for a laid back and unique weekend, and fantastic hosts!

Lakeside cabin serenity
This cabin is so beautifully situated! Lakeside mornings with coffee (especially when the breeze picks up and keeps the summer bugs away), gorgeous hot tub sunset views, and intentional space! We stayed in the yurt previously, and really appreciated the AC respite of the cabin this time around in the summer heat. We had the place to ourselves and it was so serene. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Great couple's getaway! Lakefront property with a gameroom/bar, fishing poles & kayaking available. The hosts are wonderful, they dont live on site so you have privacy yet a phone call away if you need them. Be sure to ask about their Spa/Wellness services. We will definitely be back. Thanks for a refreshing weekend. Tiffany
