Echo Bluff State Park

This entire trip was inspired by Tina, a staff member. I met Tina passing through the area and she provided me with a lot of information which gave me the idea to plan a weekend trip with my wife. The lodge room we had was clean and comfortable, My wife and I had a wonderful time exploring most of the areas Tina mentioned. Thank you Tina for a wonderful inspiration for a get away.

The property was nice and our stay was good. Off season and only one other couple there so we had the run of the place. Staff was great and helpful with local information. Things to improve on would be the noisy HVAC system, A light over the coffee station would be helpful as the only lights were the overhead so if someone wants to get up earlier than the other and make coffee they could without disturbing the other. A luggage stand would be nice, we used the bed but the bed was horrible, to soft and sat so low that you rolled out onto the floor to stand up. Not so easy at 70. The Caddy for the body wash and shampoo sat on the floor of the shower, we were told it was supposed to be stuck on the wall but keeps falling off. Since the Body wash , shampoo and lotion were all together in the caddy it made it very hard to use. The Love seat that was also an extra bed sat also to low to the ground and the cushion kept sliding out. Getting out of the love seat was difficult. We are able bodied Seniors. We were not there to spend our time in the room but when we were in it it was not really comfortable. I also had booked a room on what is called creekside but ended up on the other side which seemed strange since the Lodge was empty. We did not ask to change and they probably would have taken care of it but we had already unloaded some of our stuff. Still a nice Lodge but just a few improvements could be made

The cabin was beautiful, comfy, & private! The park was FANTASTIC for hiking & scenery! We hope to return and maybe bring family or friends. The staff were all friendly too! :)

The staff is amazing! The grounds are beautiful and well kept. I loved the patio for viewing and the fireplace in each room on cold Spring days was such a wonderful addition.
