Lazy Z Resort

8/10 Good
"It felt remote and was quiet and peaceful which was exactly what we were seeking out. However…the cottage didn’t feel like a cottage. It was a bit more like a pretty single wide. The interior was well kept and well appointed with the exception of having limited kitchen items (for example a total of 2 forks, limited glassware, very limited coffee pods, etc). There was also very limited towels for both bathroom and kitchen. Be very aware that this is a full sized bed when booking! It worked for us as we aren’t very big people. Just make sure you’re fully aware before booking. Clubhouse, pool, and hot tub were very far from our “cottage”…we stayed in #7. We walked up there once to check it out but it’s not feasible for us to realistically do that any more than that in a weekend. Driving from the cottage to the amenities would be a good option. Pool and hot tub were very pretty and appeared well kept. We did not actually use them given the distance from our cottage."
