Enota Mountain Retreat

Enota Mountain Retreat was such a great place. Its not outdated from what my fiance and I saw, and VERY clean. I dont understand that other review.

We got there late and after hours, and a staff member came to greet us (Paul you're amazinggg) and was just the sweetest. He helped us back into our site and said he would bring us farm fresh eggs the next morning - which he did (a large bag of eggs too!)!

Our site was on the stream with full hookup, including sewer. We had a patio and our bedroom window overlooked the stream, which sounded like the most peaceful noise machine ever. I didn't have cellphone service (Verizon) but my fiance did (AT&T). There is wifi available in a separate office lounge type building, and you can kinda pick it up from your rig if your site is close to it.

The grounds and scenery - I cannot stress this enough - were so beautiful, even in the middle of January. We were the only ones there, so I dont know what the site is like during peak season, but the sites are very spacious and not too close to one another, so I doubt it would be an issue if its crowded.

There is a farm on-site, and several waterfalls thats are in within walking/hiking distance. The large 400ft waterfall hike was a bit strenuous, but not too bad and well worth the view!!

All in all, 10/10. I'm going back next week.

I gave this a 1 star, if I could have given ZERO I would have. Gorgeous location that was dead as a doornail and no wonder considering it was poorly maintained and had horrible management. I booked this place because it had pretty creeks on site and we wanted to have a fishing activity but after check in we discovered you can’t fish onsite which is the stupidest thing and negates the one draw of the place. The owner nickel and dimes everyone to death, they want all of their money up front and have a zero refund policy. We paid an outrageous nightly fee of $55, no weekly discount, another “conservation” fee on top of that and NOT family friendly. Only allowed two children per site otherwise more charges, and although we only had one child we were charged $10 a day EXTRA because he was a high schooler over 15 and she considered him an adult who needed to pay a daily fee. What a bunch of BS! The bathrooms had no heat and half the light bulbs were out then halfway through a shower the rest of the lights go out because they are on a timer. Two days into our trip the showers and toilets were completely shut down (and never repaired), and the laundry facilities were never functioning; they were broken, rusted out and the most disgusting I have ever seen, after opening the door I would not even step into the room. The men’s bathroom had a literal one inch layer of mold in the soap dispenser bag. They bunkhouse for hikers had doors falling off and the insides were in shambles and overrun with critters. We talked to an older couple who had just checked into a cabin for two nights. The cabin was so dirty the wife had to clean everything before they unpacked and would not touch the tub. They were going to forfeit their money and leave. A tent camper (who is charged almost the same as an RV) came in late, no one at the office, poorly marked lots so they were wandering around in the dark and then they discovered the bathhouse was shut down and they couldn’t even use the toilets. No one had informed them of this but of course it didn’t matter because they do not give refunds! This place is a non-profit who gets tax breaks and grant money, hard to see how they are non-profit with all of the price gauging and they obviously are not putting any money into maintenance.
