Wonderful way to relax and unwind on a Labor Day weekend. Wifi available for those who are unable to disconnect. Lack of TV was a blessing as it allowed for more intimate family conversations. Ample swimming accessories in the lake (trampoline, super slide, bikes, paddle boards, etc.) were a big hit with our granddaughter. Cabin was cozy and well appointed.
We just arrived home from our week stay at this beautiful resort! James and Kayla could not have been more accommodating! This was our first visit at this resort and were very impressed with how clean the cabins and the grounds were. There is so much to do for Adults and Kids. We had a great time. James and Kayla, thank you for being awesome! And your kids are pretty awesome too! See you next year! Can't wait...
Just wrapped up our first visit to Two Inlets Resort and had a lovely time. Cabin 8 was spotless on arrival, comfortable, cozy and had everything we needed. Beautiful views of the lake as well. Nice beach with tons of water toys for all to enjoy. Daughter had fun cruising the gravel road on the bikes and petting the wandering chickens. Caught a lot of crappies, enough to enjoy a fish fry and bring a meal home for later. James and Kayla were great hosts and accommodating to extra requests we needed throughout our stay. This place is a hidden gem - getting on their waitlist was worth it!
I cannot recommend this resort enough! Our family of 10 had plenty of space in the amazing and immaculate Cabin 11. The resort and location offered a variety of activities for everyone. It was obvious the owner’s priority was guest satisfaction and a positive/relaxing experience. We have already booked for next year!
Nice relaxing long weekend stay. Very casual atmosphere. Wife and I hung out, sat by the lake, sat by the fire. Just around the lake from Two Inlets State Forest, so took a couple "leaf peeping" slow drives up the main forest roads (minivan, didn't bring ATV). Quiet, restful place. Friendly, accommodating hosts.
We had a great visit with our large family group occupying many cabins during our stay. The outdoor dining area is a blessing for potluck dinners and the fire pit is also accommodating for a large group. It is a fabulous location and shaded for maximal outdoor enjoyment. The beach area is fully equipped for water sports or lounging on beach chairs. You will not be disappointed at Two Inlets. The hospitality of the owners and staff is remarkable. Be kind in return.
The Minette family get together has met at Two Inlets since 2019. Since starting to get together since 1970, I will say that James and Kayla have provided the best experience of all the resorts to the Minette clan. Not only are the cabins clean and cozy, but the property, especially the beach, is outstanding. Most importantly, James and Kayla are the kindest and helpful hosts. The Minette reunion started with my father's brothers and sisters, and now my grandson says it is his favorite place in the world.
We had such a wonderful stay at Two Inlets Resort! The resort was clean and so well taken care of, which made it easy to relax right away. There were endless activities to keep the kids entertained, which was such a gift for us as parents. The owners went above and beyond to make us feel welcome—they were incredibly kind, thoughtful, and accommodating. We left with so many great memories and can’t wait to come back!
