From the nicely maintained sand volleyball court to the half basketball court, there was something for everyone.

Our stay at Grey Squirrel was filled with delightful surprises and a cozy atmosphere that made our family trip truly enjoyable. The updated cabin was clean and comfortable, and the outdoor amenities provided plenty of fun for everyone. However, our check-in experience was a letdown, and we faced some issues that took away from our overall satisfaction. Despite this, I feel confident returning in the future to see how it evolves under new management.

I had a very mixed experience during my stay. While the facilities and surroundings offered some charm and enjoyment, there were significant issues with the cabin I was assigned, leading to an overall disappointment.

Breakfast was lacking in options; mostly just cereal without milk and some packaged pastries. It left a lot to be desired for a good start to the day.

The outdoor space had potential, but the cabins themselves need substantial work to match the advertised quality. There were some nice features like BBQ options, but overall it missed the mark.
