It is rustic, for sure. Nothing fancy, but our needs were met. We were happy to have a private room for each couple or family unit. That was a main reason to choose Cowboy Creek Lodge. We were happy to have the community room, kitchen, and grills exclusively for our family gathering weekend. Bring your own tableware. Wick, the on-site caretaker was fantastic, friendly, always ready to be of assistance, and very helpful.

Very rustic. Nothing like the pictures posted. Outside area not well maintained most areas in the rear of facility, pool area and play area overgrown with high weeds. No hot tub as advertised. Some rooms were ok, most needed a lot of work paint especially on ceilings that were patched. Mold on several of the shower curtains no soap dispenser were in shower areas as pictured. Bugs in every room, Dust and spider webs under beds that had frames. Some rooms had air conditioners that worked 3 rooms had temporary a/c units that were noisy. Community room had 1 refrigerator that was dirty with leftover food when we checked in. Wifi was challenging at best service in and out hourly. Trapped 3 to 4 mice every day in kitchen and community room. We used lots of lysol spray and wipes everyday. A lot of unknown visitors just walked into community area while we occupied this facility. Also people stopping in to to purchase fire wood . No real main office to direct unknown/unwanted visitors too. Area was nice, family made the best out of a disappointing facility as compared to photos posted on VRBO.

We stayed a long weekend at the Cowboy Creek Lodge for a family reunion. We were 20 adults, and 4 children (12, 11, 8, 6, 4) and we all fit comfortably in the lodge with one room to spare. Pros: pool, fire pit, spacious community room (needs updating though and only one window ac so it was a bit stuffy in there), AC in each room, plenty of acres to walk around and view the creepy/gruesome Halloween decorations throughout the property (NOT for kids' eyes, we kept them from seeing the more horrific displays further down the property), great location (recommend Wampler's Lake in Hayes State Park), prompt and consistent communication with caretaker, Lisa and easy check-in. Cons: This property is truly RUSTIC. Be warned that it is not pristine or spotless, the whole place needs a deep clean and serious updating including a few of the mattresses and bed linens (especially the rooms with carpet....pretty gross). Listing states there are only pots/pans so we brought all of our own utensils, plates, bowls, etc. but upon arriving we discovered tons of everything needed to make meals (except knives and forks). We advise asking for a more thorough description of kitchen supplies if you plan on doing a lot of cooking. Minimal AC in the community room with one working fan but the stand was broken. As mentioned, we think the entire place needs some serious updating and a deep clean otherwise it has great potential!

Our group of 37, ranging from 1 month to 75 years old, were able to enjoy this rustic setting. We loved the private pool and the community room where we could all fit to share our meals. There were rooms enough for all our families. Lisa was quick to respond to our questions or needs.

Our family loved it here. It was rustic, fun and had everything we needed. The property manager Lisa was the best. She showed us around the grounds and gave us some of the history and she was so good to us. Such a fun place for us to gather. We loved the common room and that we had the place to ourselves. Clean rooms, lots of places to sleep, super cool grounds to walk through and a really nice pool. Highly recommend.

We had an amazing time!!! The property and pool were wonderful and Lisa was around to help with anything and everything we needed. She even took some of our group through the haunted house which was truly a hit!!! Thank you for such a wonderful weekend!

the property definitely needs updated in several areas. a lot of it is unusable (pavilion, amphitheater, chapel other buildings) there has to also be a way to keep outside visitors from accessing the property when it is being rented out. several times we had to go address this situation and people weren’t always happy about it. there should not be the worry of additional people on the property if we are paying to rent it out. that is unsettling as they could walk into any of the areas we are using. the water has an iron smell to it and many of the showers were cold water only in the bedroom area. overall it was a fun experience but it really needs updated and freshened up for sure !!!!!

The property is very unique. We loved having individual rooms. The pool and outdoor space was convenient and very enjoyable. We have an older family member with walking issues and we were able to navigate fairly well. The kitchen space is inadequate. The common space great for all of us. It could use some updating.
