Hidden Valley Resort, an Ascend Collection Resort

Quiet and calm athmosphere

When we booked with Expedia we booked the lake view with a king bed. The room we were assigned had a king bed with a lovely view of the parking lot. When discussed this with reception we were advised that all lakeview rooms have two queen beds and the only description on the paperwork was a room with king bed. The staff were very helpful correcting the Expedia error. In the end we enjoyed our stay.

This is a nice place for a gettaway and if you have kids even better. The beach is very nice. Not crowed and the water is sublime. You can wade out 100 feet or more and the water is at your waste or lower. The Kayaks and Canoes are nice to have. I went out most days in a Kayak. The staff are mainly young students but they are very nice and attentive. The pool is ok nothing special but great for kids. For seniors or those with mobility issues you might want to think twice about this place. There are 100 stairs to go down to the beach. No problem if you don't have health issues but it could be a concern otherwise. The general maintenance is not great. You can see that the resorts is managed on a tight budget but they take care of the essentials. The rooms are older though they are clean just don't expect luxury accommodations. We had a lake view and balcony which I recommend. Initally when we checked in we were given a room which was not the same as the description when we booked so just beware of this. The desk representative was so nice and she put us in another room with the balcony and lake view. The food is good although a bit pricey . Luckly Huntsville is close by so you have plently of options. One evening we had as entertainment a guitar player /folk singer who was excellent. Overall it was a nice gettaway. I would recommend it if you want to get away for a few days and not spend a fortune.

Awesome resort to stay at. Every time we visit it gets better. Love the new look!
