Pine Grove Resort

10/10 Excellent
"The entire resort was very clean and well maintained. The staff were welcoming and helpful. The access to the private beach, complimentary wine, 24/7 coffee, and homemade cookies were wonderful “extras”. Our kids loved the pool and breakfast options. It’s an older building so it was loud at times with people walking around on the floor above us. We would definitely stay at Pine Grove again. You can tell the owners and staff take pride in their resort and in serving their guests."

"A nice place but ridiculously expensive. The heater in the room was slow to warm up the room. There's no breakfast and they still use keys in doors which took me back to the 1990s. It's in the woods, not near the water, but you pay like you are on the water."
