Shawnee Lodge & Conference Center

Literally the best customer service I’ve ever received or experienced. The food was great and the waitstaff was so nice. Tim Palla was so fun and everyone in our group was so pleased. Lisa Spriggs made the organizing of our women’s retreat so easy. She’s great to work with.  From the top down, every employee was catering and personable. I will undoubtedly return and recommend the lodge! Hands down the best place ever! Beautiful views and comfy rooms!

Beautiful setting, loved the view, trails, and pool. Rooms could have more sound deadening (and I believe we stayed in an updated room).  We were on 3rd floor which is under construction at this time, but construction did not bother us, just the "thinness" of the walls between rooms. 2 nights was the perfect amount of time for us here.

We went for lunch after church on Father's day.   Our server was friendly and attentive and overall did an excellent job.  Th appetizers were very large and tasted good.  The hamburgers were good size and cooked to perfection.  The shredded pork was very good as well.

Paid for room with a view all you can see is leaves. Barely enough hot water to shower. Had to play with commode handle to get it to quite running.  Sink faucet leaked when turned on. Slamming doors all thru the night. Snacks in vending machines were stall. Food in the restaurant was very good. I understand you are remodeling but none of or issues were due to remodeling. We will not be staying or recommending Shawnee.  Other Lodges we have stayed in have been amazing. Hopefully once your remodel is completed Shawnee will be upto the others standards.

I made my reservation for our family reunion on February 20th 2023. When I made my reservation I was told that the lodge would be fully functional but that there could be SOME construction but the room would be completely finished and our stay wouldn't be impacted. In the past we've had other issues with state parks so I asked if everything else in the lodge was functional, including pools/hot tubs/etc and was assured everything was working correctly. We arrived for our reunion on June 19th, only to find out that our rooms were NOT finished and they were doing heavy renovations on the third floor, the indoor pool was not working, and the hot tub had been non-working for at least four months.  The indoor pool water temp was only 72F, it should be a minimum of 78F. When we checked in we were told that our room was completed but there was still construction on the third floor but that there "shouldn't be too much noise." They offered to move us to the second floor, but still said that the construction may impact us. We decided to stay on the third floor. Each day construction began promptly at 7AM, with demolition hammers, other equipment, etc. The noise was SO LOUD that it could be heard outside CLEAR ACROSS THE PARKING LOT. This happened EVERY MORNING. It was so loud that you could hear it throughout the guest room area- every room was impacted. It wasn't quiet either- everyone was woken up early and no one could ever sleep in. The indoor pool and hot tub were non-functional the entire stay- and it was cold outside and raining, and the only day that was warm enough to swim outside was our last day. When asked if and when the indoor pool would be working again, staff had the gall to suggest that we swim outside in barely 70F weather, and then later said that the indoor pool water was cold because "kids kept jumping in it and splashing the water all out". How absolutely ridiculous, and a blatant lie. They did wind up "fixing" the pool heater the second day, but it heated so slowly that the pool was never up to temp to swim in anyway.

When told that we were told at the time of reservation that we wouldn't be impacted by renovations or construction, staff basically told us that we were lying. When told that we were told that there were no issues with the amenities at the lodge, staff again basically said we were lying. Someone at the lodge had called to confirm my stay a week or so prior to arrival, and I had again asked about the functioning of the amenities and was NOT TOLD that the indoor pool or hot tub were broken and not working, and AGAIN was told that the rooms were ready and there would be no issues with construction. In actuality, our room had non-functioning sliding door locks, missing electrical face plates, non-functional exhaust fan in the bathroom, swapped hot/cold water lines in the bathroom, missing TV cable hookup faceplate, no climate control in the third floor hallway/stairway, construction cardboard covering the floors in the hallway, foam covering the interior of the elevator, cardboard on elevator floor, construction debris everywhere, housekeeping letting towels and trash pile up in the hallways, the list goes on and on. Additionally, the lodge gathering areas and restaurant were like meat lockers- everyone had to constantly wear jackets because it was freezing cold. The restaurant food was overpriced and the dinner/lunch selections were barely edible. I had to send back food because it tasted spoiled. When asked for one biscuit and a side of gravy, staff brought a whole order instead and refused to take it back or adjust the price for their mix-up.

After all was said and done, my stay for three nights totaled $560 and some change, the lodge wound up taking a whopping $60 off despite having ZERO amenities, a HORRIBLE atmosphere, and a nasty restaurant. The cost of the stay should have been halved because of all of the issues.

After reading more reviews, it seems like the hot tub and pool have had issues for a long time. I doubt the positive reviews for this place.

Campus Martius Park

Campus Martius Park

Every year we come to this park to enjoy the Christmas Tree. Huge tree. Every year it happens.

We enjoy the atmosphere, lights, and activities. It's different every year. Never disappointed.

The parking could use some work.

Highly Recommended

Very small area to fit all of the holiday season activities. Always busy and full of people. You need to watch your kids very carefully.
They had nice Christmas tree, and tiny skating ring, with long lane to rent equipment.
My kids wanted to get in, but was too cold and long to wait.
Overall experience is acceptable.

Such a fun place for the whole family. Beautifully decorated with lots of places to take photos.
My daughter LOVED the hockey stick putt putt (she plays hockey)

Beautiful space in downtown Detroit. We were there in December to see the large Christmas tree, the area lit up, ice skating, and for dinner at Parc overlooking all the festivities.

Campus Martius is always fun, any season of the year. More in summer and during Christmas. The rink is busy, lots of the other related things around. Good food options around. Parking is not that easy to find during the peak season and times of the day.
Detroit downtown has got back it's lost charm and beauty.

Detroit Riverwalk

Beautiful river walk! Very safe and always has a lot of other people around. Great for kids as well as there are multiple restrooms, play areas, benches, and even a carousel. There are also places to buy food along the way (Just standard boardwalk food like fries, chicken tenders, pizza, drinks). Water bottle refill stations available too.

Amazing views. Fall was perfect to stroll the Riverwalk,  relax, or bike the area. Quick trip to Canada just across the water. The entire walkway area was clean,  felt safe, and picturesque.

Went to Riverwalk to see freighter stuck in the river & the tug boats get it moving. 1st visit. It was VERY cold, but Great views of Detroit landmarks on the river & those on the Canadian side too. I took many pics@

The Riverwalk was a great experience for our entire group. There’s free parking and the area is well-kept. We also noticed security/police presence and felt safe the entire time. The water is beautiful! We were able to get a great view of Canada and we saw several ducks up close and personal. It was a hot day but there was a nice, cool breeze. This is definitely a great location for walking or bike riding. There’s an area to purchase snacks and tables/chairs for eating or just relaxing. The public restrooms were surprisingly clean also. This is definitely a must see place.

What a beautiful day walking.  It was nice to see all the families out enjoying themselves.  Nice, clean, many things to see along the way.  We ended up taking the boat ride along the river, crew very knowledgeable on Canadian and Detroit side.

Timberline Glamping Cheaha

We had a great trip! We took our 6 and 8 year old grandsons camping and hiking at Cheaha. The camping site was just what we needed: welcoming, clean, comfortable. It was so easy to simply show up at our campsite with our food and find that everything else we already set up. And to return after a day of hiking to sleep in a comfortable was awesome. Our grandsons already told us that this is our annual fall camp now!

Cheaha State Park is beautiful. The Timberline tent was fantastic. Comfortable bed, kids enjoyed the bunk beds. Everything was set up nice and neat. Would definitely recommend if you didn’t want to go full cabin, or primitive tent. An excellent middle ground.

My family had a wonderful time staying with Timberline Glamping at Cheaha State Park. The tent and amenities were perfect, and it was so nice returning there after a day of hiking on the nearby trails. The staff was incredibly helpful and replied immediately when we emailed them with a question. Do yourself a favor and pre-order a 12-pack of the Sweet Cinnamon Pecan K-cups. We usually don't drink flavored coffee, but we loved it.

My daughter and I had a wonderful stay in #53! Everything was clean and well kept. Bathrooms are not far from the tents. The beds were cozy and warm! We could hear nature outside and waking up in the morning was a peaceful experience. We will be back in the future!

FYI, this has nothing to do with Timberline, but there USED to be a restaurant on the mountain but it is closed and only used for events. It shows on the map it’s still there. Plan your food source accordingly, The Mountain Store saved us for dinner planning. It was our first time up there and I didn’t know that until we got there. My mistake!

Had the best time glamping in Cheaha with Timberline! Aimee was there to guide us with any questions we had. The set up was so cute and cozy and the surroundings were a dream. There was lots to do hiking wise around the park and the leaves were at their peak. We will definitely be back for another getaway!

Jackson Square

Surrounded by historic buildings and homes this place is a great place to relax. Nested between the famous bourbon st and the French market this place offers a great escape from the sensory overload that is New Orleans.
This is a great place to relax and take some amazing photos. We sat on the grass and just enjoyed the beautiful weather before heading to the French market for lunch!
Surrounded by local vendors, musicians and artists this place truly captures the essence and beauty of New Orleans

Great area to visit. Cathedral in the background, surrounded by older buildings and artists of all kinds. We spent about an hour walking around and decided to support a local artist by buying a painting. Definitely worth visiting if you are in NO.

Beautiful and clean scenic park surrounded by street performers and artists selling their work during the day. There are a lot of shops and restaurants nearby, including the bustling Cafe du Mond where you can grab a coffee and beignets.

This was our second time to the square. The first time was two years ago and we visited during the day. Lots of vendors and street performers. This year it was in the evening to celebrate the New Year.

Great place to spend the evening , love the fresh arts and several arts galleries across the footpaths. Loads of authentic NOLA foods around this area with plenty of local pubs and jazz…

Camp Hidden Creek - Ashland, AL

Amazing in every way!  They aim to please and said we would not be disappointed and they were right!  We stopped on our way from Nashville to Orange Beach. The tent and bed were comfortable. It was so nice to drive up and have it greet us just like the pictures. The sound of the creek soothing. The fire pit comfy and beautiful all around. The shower and coffee bar a short beautiful walk away. Also a clean big porta potty close enough for middle of the night. We hope to come again!  Everyone was super friendly but also gave us our space to enjoy.

Great camp site on a creek.Tent was comfortable and table and chairs were provided Ice, water, coffee and tea available. Wood available for a cost. Our dog really enjoyed it! Brenda was very helpful and super nice.

The property is beautiful! Perfect weekend getaway. Tim was an amazing host and a great help! Our girls (12&10) never got bored and had the best time! We will be back!

Just SE of Ashland, AL.  We will obsoletely return to Camp Hidden Creek.  Beautiful area to enjoy the Talladega National Forest. You will not be disappointed

Great little campground. The host is very attentive. We stayed at Whiskey Lullaby and loved it. It's also a short drive to a lot of hiking trails in the Talladega National Forest.

Montgomery Zoo & Mann Wildlife Learning Museum

We came when children were at school so it was pretty empty. Would've been perfect if the staff were friendly. The young woman in the cafe made it better. The food wasn't good but the kids got hats and cute cups to take home.

Cute little zoo. Great for small children and can get through in a couple of hours. The kids enjoyed the petting zoo and playground. Food isn't ridiculously priced. Just wish there were more indoor exhibits to get out the heat on really hot days. Going in the colder months is definitely preferable.

The Christmas Lights Festival was great as usual. Pay attention to weather forecast and dress appropriately. Ski Lift and Train Ride were both fun and great activities to capture pictures from.

Montgomery Zoo boasts a variety of captivating attractions. The Giraffe Encounter stands out, allowing visitors to get up close and even feed these majestic animals. The Zoofari Skylift Adventure offers a unique perspective, providing picturesque views of the zoo from above. The Stingray Bay exhibit provides an interactive experience, allowing guests to touch and learn about these fascinating sea creatures. Additionally, the African Elephant and Cheetah exhibits showcase the zoo's commitment to conservation and education. These attractions contribute to making Montgomery Zoo a well-rounded and enjoyable destination for all.

The place is so well kept and pretty. Travelled on a day when most things were kind of closed. But still got to experience the train ride. The Mann museum is such a knowledgeable place. A great learning experience. The details on the animals are so well portrayed. Their origin and all. Peacocks all over the place, amazing view. Andddd they have a freaking photo boothhhh!!!!

John Tanner Park (Carroll County Park)

This was our first time at this park. We wanted to do a 3 night camping trip. When we got there, we were put in the new area with sites that have on site sewer and 50 amp service. The sites had no power because it were never turned on at the main electrical panels. We had to do it ourselves. The RV pads and roads were black asphalt, which absorbs the sun and is extremely hot in this heat. In addition, the hitch on my camper sunk into the asphalt due to the asphalt being so hot. Camper parking pads should be always be concrete! It was very muddy with a lot of red clay, which was very messy. We came to find out that those sites shouldn't have been booked because construction wasn't finished in that area. But someone at the park messed up and rented out those sites. So that explains why that area was in the condition it was in. The rest of the park is great. Nice beach and campground! Nice view of the lake from the 50 amp campsites!

This park was very clean and well maintained when I visited.  The beach area is fairly long for a small lake beach and wasn't crowded at all early in the day at least. The nature trail was nice and they do have what looks to be a fairly well maintained putt putt course which I *wanted* to play but husband ixnayed because it was too hot (wimp 😉). Giving this four stars rather than five only because I've only visited once thus far. I definitely plan on going again though! The photo is of a turtle in sunning in the non-beach area of the lake... Because I like turtles!!!

What a hidden gem of a park. We had electric and water which is expected from a county park. It was first come first serve as far as picking out a site. We lucked out as someone was leaving the biggest site (#27) there was there. Plus there was a water wheel and waterfall at the end of the site. The site was at least a couple hundred feet long. Plus there were branches etc available to collect for firewood. There is a nice lake to walk to.

Relaxing! Quiet. On the Saturday afternoon we were there it was a beautiful day. No concessions were open, but there were drink machines. Bathrooms were clean and again no crowd. Plenty of room for the little  ones to play and grills for cooking. Pets allowed, but not on the beach.

The Atmosphere was breath taking and relaxing,  especially the Lake

Alabama Safari Park

This was a wonderful experience! We went with our daughter and son in law And our 5 year old and 2 1/2 Year old grandchildren. We all had a great time! We rode in the back of my son in law’s pick up, while he drove through the park. We were able to feed the animals and we went around. It was so cool to get so close to the animals. Beware of the llamas! They do think that they should be fed first!. Ration the food so you will have some for all the animals. We bought several buckets (hang on to them tightly, they will try to steal the bucket) and then dumped them into a bag. That way we could put a handful into the bucket at a time. They do eat it fast.the grandkids absolutely loved it!

The llamas will drain your feed buckets quickly so try to stretch it with those guys. We saw each of the animals that were included in the safari guide book we were given so that was great. I didn't get any pictures of the budgies but their enclosure was a lot of fun. One came and sat on my foot and another tried to get into my pocket. The Kangaroos were lazily watching us and a giraffe grabbed my daughter's shirt (keep your distance and this won't happen)

Genesis 2:19 ERV - The LORD God used dust from the ground and made every animal in the fields and every bird in the air.

☛We came as a couple,and it's amazing. Gave me greater appreciation for the design of God. We plan to return very soon. The cashier at the shop (the one buying a home) was absolutely terrific. I'm curious how they keep animals in designated area without fences. 🤔 I'd advise getting 2 buckets so you don't run out. I really like the fact book.  We plan return very soon.

We were here on 8/4/23. This place was absolutely amazing! We arrived mid-afternoon. It was 98°, with a heat index of 105°, and even with the crazy heat, THERE WAS SO MUCH ACTION!! We took the advice of others on here, and brought a large bag to dump food into, to help ration it out. Otherwise, it would have been gone quickly!! We would absolutely recommend this as a must stop for anyone, young or old!  Absolute A+ experience that we would be excited to do again if we are ever in tje area! Including gift shop, safari, and quick walk around the walking area, we spent a little over 2 hours here.

Soooo amazing!! My 2 and 4 year olds were so excited. My husband and I also felt like a kid being able to be up close to the animals. I recommend getting 3-4 buckets of feed ($5 each). We bought 3. We dumped our feed into a bag and then adding small amounts in the buckets as you feed the animals because some of the animals will try and take the bucket or some will pour out in car as they eat. Camels especially love to try and take the  bucket. Definitely get the bird feed stick $2 each. One per person is plenty
