When we started planning our family vacation, we had to make some tough choices. Some of us really like camping and one of us (Mom) strongly prefers hotels. So we searched for a place where we could vacation that was somewhere in between. We chose Windjammer Resort and had a great time! The atmosphere was very family friendly and we... More

We stayed in cabin #8, which was spotless, comfortably furnished, and modern. It has a master bedroom and another bedroom with bunk beds, along with a pullout couch. It has a large balcony overlooking the lake. The lake is very clean and the small resort is quiet. The manager is responsive to your needs and friendly. Overall, it was a... More

We stayed in cabin number 7. It is a 3 bedroom cabin. It has a queen size bed and in the other two rooms were two bunk beds. The carpet is not in the greatest condition but the rest of the cabin has a very excellent clean modern look. The kitchen and the living room are all one great room.... More

First we arrived in cabin 8 and everything looked great. But when we started to move in, we started realizing things most of the classes to drink out of where not washed. Our screen door would not lock. our TV took 1 minute to turn on and when it did all the colors were red. You may do what you... More

Wind Jammer Resort on Spider Lake is a great place to stay. We rented cabin #5 the week of June 25 - July 2, 2011. It had all the comforts of a vacation cottage on the water. For the value, this was perfect for our budget. This cabin has 2 bedrooms up with full size beds and 1 bedroom down... More

I am a single mother with three children and planned a week trip at Windjammers. I found the accommodations to be clean and inviting. The owners were on the premises during my stay and was friendly and helpful. My family stayed in cabin 5 and it was clean and inviting to stay in, with my kids. The cabin was very... More

Cabins were hot and uncomfortable. We were told A/C was not needed because of the lake breezes. However, since none of the windows worked, we couldn't get a breeze. Lightbulbs were burned out in the kitchen. Floors were filthy. Well water smelled so bad I could barely wash the dishes without getting sick to my stomach. Do not stay here. More

Stay away from this resort. The cabins are filthy. The mattress had two large pee stains on it. The stove did not work. The side door did not latch or lock. The shower curtain was filled with black mold. The water smelled terrible. The cabin was filled with cob webs and many many many spiders. We abandoned the place after... More
