Peyton’s Place

AWFUL FACILITIES!!! We stayed here for one of the busiest times of the year, July 17 – 20. We were told the showers and bathrooms were clean. Not So! The bathrooms nor showers were cleaned the entire time we stayed, not once. They were downright filthy and with huge, live spider webs overhanging in both bathroom stalls and showers. We will never stay at Peyton’s place again because of this reason.

this isn’t luxury, but it sure is fun.
the cabin we stayed it was the «bunk house» and it slept about 40 people. girls side and boys side! totally felt like summer camp in all the fun ways.
bathrooms were awesome. individual stalls for bathrooms and showers was awesome for privacy. the water never got cold, which was a bonus.
i HATED the bunk-​like «mattresses» and had trouble sleeping. apparently that was a mixed feeling, because some of my family said they slept really well. so, if you like «mattresses» that feel like concrete, you’re in for the biggest treat of your LIFE.
okay, it had a little fireplace and huge back porch that overlooked the river. there was a grill, as well as 4 picnic tables.
we brought all the food and cooking utensils, but it was a full kitchen.
the bunk house was attached to a company who does all the rafting, kayaking, canoe trips, so you had to walk across the terrace and make the reservation, then they come over, pick you up on the bus and trolley you to the river.
i’ll caution you: if you’re attempting the river to be one with nature, go early. or on sunday. because around saturday at ten, you’ll hit a wall drunken, scantily clad, tattooed individuals. music blares and cigarette smoke fills the air … which generally kills any type of communion with mother earth.
if that’s exactly what you’re looking for in your weekend getaway, then you’re welcome.
all in all it was an awesome way to spend a weekend with family, and we’ll be returning!
