Nice ppl but not your average place
We were not familiar with this "retreat" and was not aware it was a rehab / motel. The rooms were clean, the grounds had some good hiking trails. We were awakened early by loud voices finding out there was some sort of group counseling in a meeting room and the youth were arriving. No smoking or alcohol allowed on premises and we understood why, seems it is used more as a rehab than motel.
Nice place, but unfairly charged
It is a no smoking premises, which I was unaware of. But common courtesy tells me not to smoke indoors or around ANY other visitors. Which I did not. When I was informed the next morning by a staff member while OUTSIDE smoking I apologized and smoked no more on premises. So when a friend met me there prior to check out she brought in some cones she had bought on the way. Because she thought they were cool and wanted to show me. They were never opened nor never used. Well she left them on the desk. So because the staff was being judgmental they made accusations that the room smelled. Very very untrue. No possible way. The stinkiest thing in that room was barbecue from the night before.NOTHING was smoked in or near that room.
Perfect!
Because of my sister's death earlier in the month and the full responsibility of handling her affairs combined with buying and selling our own home, I knew a quick escape was in order so I booked one night for my husband and me. The minute we pulled off of the highway into the tree line drive, all of my tension left me. The tranquility of the area was soothing to my soul and the accommodations exceeded my expectations. I know we will be back but I'm also spreading the word to my church family and all of my local friends.
Amazing place!
I think that The Center Hill Lake Retreat is a perfect place to stay. Me and my family went for a walk around the property and it was so pretty! We rented a room in the hotel and it was so amazing. This was my sixth time there and it keeps getting better. The view of the lake is so pretty that you wanna look at it all day. We bring our boat all the time and it's super easy to launch and pull out! This place always has a clean lake and clean hotel rooms. This place is amazing when you wanna hang out with friends. When we were there everything fell into it's place! So this gets my 5 star review!
Dirty and needs works
We stayed in the Laurel cabin and it was as dirty and surrounded by mud. The boat ramp is caving in on one side and I would never launch a nice boat from this ramp again. The docks are average at best. We will not be staying again.
