Fantastic Stay

What a great place! Sparkling clean, great balcony, comfy bed, a full kitchen, spectacular shower room, washer/dryer, and even a small living room area. But best of all was the staff. Everyone I met was so friendly and helpful. I should have doubled my 4-night stay!!

The cabin was perfect! It was clean, actually very clean. I was impressed with the bathroom - all white and spotless. The appliances were are in working condition. The kitchen was stocked with clean dishes, drink ware, utensils etc. The view was spectacular. The woman who assisted with check in was helpful and informative. She kept in touch regularly by texting us at appropriate times. Check in and out was seem less, even though the office is not on the premises, it was not inconvenient. The only negative thing, is that you can hear the neighbors showering, flushing etc. it was not such a big deal unless you’re a light sleeper. It still didn’t bother us.

Awesome place…. Except when it snows.

The accommodations were perfect. The unit was newly renovated and beautifully done. The only problem was it snowed very hard when I was there and didn’t get to enjoy any of the amenities they offer due to being closed for ice on the roads. You pay for the amenities card as part of your booking, but everything was closed and no possibility of ever using the card. I called and asked for a refund for the amenities portion and got some excuse that wasn’t acceptable. I hate it, but I’ll never book Fairway Forest again over the poor excuse about the refund, but it’s a very nice place indeed.

A beautiful and well-appointed resort in gorgeous surroundings. Beds were comfortable, basic toiletries provided, even a tiny puff sponge for showers! We only stayed one night but would have enjoyed a longer stay.

Clean and well stocked

The price was right and turned out to be a condo. The lower level of a duplex building amongst many others of the same design, surrounded by woods and golf fairways. Super clean and well stocked with what was needed.

Fairway Forest Resort

Things to note: The check-in office is 1.7 miles from the actual resort. The gym and some of the other amenities are not in the resort, but are across the street from the check-in office, so the photos listed are not necessarily from the resort grounds but across the street from the check-in at the community center (such as the gym/swimming pool/pretty bridge, etc). From where our room was in the resort, it was a 3.2 mile drive to the gym. You will also be charged a daily resort-use fee, whether you use the facilities or not. None of this is explained on the website, or on hotels.com.
