Great stay, but a little noisy.

We had a great stay at the Funky Turtle. The house was clean and just enough space for my family of 5. The house is close to campground bathrooms if the occasional extra bathroom is needed. We enjoyed the fire pit, use of the grill, and sitting on the porch. Our only complaint is about the noise but it was clear from the map that the campground was located near an interstate. While sitting outside you can hear the noise from the interstate and close by trains. However, inside was much quieter. We also visited during a holiday week. The campground was very busy and noisy (despite the sound restrictions) on the holiday, but after that there were fewer campers and it was much quieter. We loved watching the fish and turtles swimming near the property. We would definitely recommend this house for anyone wanting to get away for a bit.

Not thrilled with our stay. I should have read the two reviews it had. Issues with hot water and watering draining in the shower. After we heard back from our host we were told how to relight the pilot light on the hot water heater. So after the first days cold shower I was thrilled to be getting a hot shower on day two, but that was a negative. After I was in the shower and started, I ran out of hot water in about 2 minutes. Come to find out the pilot light went out during the night again. This became an ongoing problem our entire stay. Then on top of that what water you do have it just stands in the tub and backs up on your feet (gross). The noise is certainly a problem between the highway and railroad tracks if you are a light sleeper or are waiting a quiet peaceful setting. Also if you are wanting to walk down to the lake from your camp, this isn’t your spot. It is very steep and the steps that were installed years ago are all rotten and closed off so no one gets hurt. A positive is that the place was very clean.

This is a trailer, in a trailer park - not a house. Don’t be deceived by the photos. For the price and all the extra fees we paid we could have spent less and had 2 hotel rooms that are quiet and have functional bathrooms with a shower that provides hot water. While the management company was very responsive and has done a nice job keeping this property clean, the property itself was not at all what we expected. The property location is very close to the highway and an active train track. There is a lot of background noise from both- I had to use earplugs to sleep. The trailer is cutely decorated, and has a nice fire pit outside, which we used. There is a small kitchen that is functional, which we also used. The sleeping arrangements were ok - we had a group of 4 kids and 2 moms. The kids used the loft where there are 4 single beds. The loft has only ~4 ft ceiling, so you do have to crawl when moving around. One mom slept in the 1 bedroom and the other on the couch. There is AC, which was great, although the kids said it was stuffy/ hot in the loft. There is a small bathroom with a shower, however, as noted earlier, none of us had hot water for our shower, not even the first person that used it. The tub also did not drain well. Overall, we were comfortable and the accommodations were better than camping, but that’s about all I can say. I would not return and am happy we were only there for a single night.
