Reviews
- ★★★★★about 1 year agoMy wife and I rented a cabin with our dog and had a wonderful relaxing time. Everyone was friendly, Shirley checked us in with keys and welcome envelope, She was great ! I'm sure it is better in the Summer with the Lake and activities.Would definitely recommend any time of year. Thank you for the adventure in our journey. God Bless to all 🙂
- ★★★★★11 months agoWonderful cabin experience - even with no power the first night. Staff offered to upgrade me, and made sure I had everything I needed when I opted to stay put. Hadn't stayed there in 50 years, but am planning to go back soon!
- ★★★★★about 1 year agoFun for all ages. Recommend being in good physical condition to participate. The inflatables are difficult to get on but everyone but me was able to do it. Had a good time just floating in the water while the rest of the family played on all the toys. Grandparents even played on them with the kids and had a great time. Beach has chairs provided so you do not need your own. We brought our own life jackets but they have plenty to rent if you need one there. Says no coolers but people still brought them. Do not bring any pets. This is not a place for any pets. Beautiful clear water. Clearest water in WV. I could still see my legs. This facility is not for people of lower physical fitness. Not accessible by any means. Bring your own shade! Has lifeguards littered about always on watch. Felt safe. Know your skill level and know your ability. I am not a good swimmer but still had a good time. Very difficult to walk. 200 steps to get up and down to the beach from parking lot. No accessible by any means. This is not a place for people who can’t get around easily. Can buy some things there but we brought all our own food. Has a no cooler policy but they seem to not enforce it.
- ★★★★★about 1 year agoWe had an amazing 80th birthday party here. We rented a pavilion and cabin. Everything was perfect and pretty self-sufficient once we arrived. All of the assistance we received leading up to the event was exceptional. From the Sales person to the front desk check-in was great.
- ★★★★★9 months agoAbsolutely love visiting Tygart Lake for their events and activities. The inflatables on the lake are a favorite amongst our family in the summer.
