Tiffany's Resort

BEWARE, most of the reviews on the web site are from the RV sites and they do not reflect what is the state in the cabins rented by Tiffany's resort.

My boyfriend and I stayed at Tiffany's resort this weekend for one night at Cabin 5. We found the place infectiously dirty to the level of health and safety and the only positive was the lake view.
We arrived at 5:15 pm, we brought our stuff in the cabin and had to leave and returned at 8:00 pm. The owners leave at 5:30 pm and so when we came back there was no one to contact.

These cabins have obviously been constructed at time when lead paint was used in these facilities. The cabin has tons of decaying wood peeling paint and obvious mold growing in and around the sink area. The caulking was little to nonexistent there was cracks in the concrete floor in the living room and bathroom, the floors were so dirty that we had to wear our shoes and there were light fixtures that did not work. The windows did not stay open and if they did they had, there were broken screens which were duck taped to seal the screen. There was a serious gap in the door which allowed the outside wind and air to enter the cabin including bugs. When we looked up at the light at night there were tons of little green flies around the light. The beds were covered with old, motel like cover, which was not clean, smelled like bio, and the bed was covered with cheap sheets, on an old mattress. I checked for bed bugs... did not see anything, but who knows? All of the furniture in this cabin, was old, dirty and run down; bed side tables were missing handles. In the bathroom we found two soaps and no shampoo. The gas heater in the living room did not work, the couches were filthy, and all stained and dusty, God knows what was on them...You would not want to bring a blue light in this cabin.

There is no doubt when the facilities were originally constructed, they were fantastic and were the place to build family memories. In the review book, people reference those magical times, but now these cabins pose a serious health hazard to those hoping to enjoy the lake. There's a serious concern of mold spores, being dirty, lack of sanitation, period, not to mention the required sanitation due to COVID-19 protocols, the structures severely asked the question should they be condemned for health and safety purposes??

We understand staying in the rustic cabin, we also do not mind old, but we do not pay to stay in filthy and condemned places. We rented it as a choice for staying in a tent, as the nights are getting cold and we knew we were coming in late, but this type of facility looks like something that you would find abandoned with no maintenance being done for years. And all this for the price of $118.00 plus taxes, per night, when the state park across the way charges $30 a night for a tent spot and the grounds there are spotless, pristine and maintained amazingly.

While the cabins are decaying slowly, the owner is building a new building and their current home, which is right on the property, oozes with the fancy and richness of a Beverly Hills like mansion with big expensive looking signs with warning of no soliciting or trespassing on their private property with "top od the line quality" sectional on their porch.

At check out we provided the feedback about the cabins. The owners feelings of discomfort were only concerned because another potential client was in the room at the same tim with me and heard what I was saying about the state of the cabins. Moreover, owners continue asking me why we didnt leave when it was so bad...or why didn't we say anthing. How can one provide feedback when no one is typically available after 5:30 pm. The owners responded that they are sorry, and as soon as I walked out, they excused themselves to the client in the room, saying that they were sorry the client had to hear what I had to say. They did not seem to see that this was a health and safety concern, especially in the world of COVID -19.

We won't be back!

As written, a great resort with 19 cabins and 15 FHU RV spaces. Although the RV sites are VERY close to each other, they face the fishing pier and swimming area. The view for a motor home is great but 5ths with rear windows is not so great (back into hillside). Site 15 is a little hard to back into but better view for 5ths or trailers. Very friendly staff/owners. WiFi has greatly improved to one of the best we have had - even for Zooming and Livestream in this Covid time. +$3 for 50 amp ($40), and +3% charge for using credit card, debit card OK. Fishing was great - caught 4 trout (12") in 1 hour one night, much slower during the day.

Cozy camping, with full hookups, near the swimming area, fishing dock, and boat launch.
Kids were catching buckets full of fish (http://curlewlake.com/fishing/).
There is basically no cell signal and wifi is weak, so unless you are lounging next to the store it's not worth the time/effort.
The town of Republic is 20 minutes away and has the basics and a great brewery. We didn't head north to the town of Curlew, but it is about the same distance.
The camping spots are also next to an improving "rail to trail" that is great for biking, hiking, and running.
The resort is popular for families, many RVers have family staying in one of the cabins and others are on the long wait list for a cabin.
