My husband and I were looking forward to our anniversary getaway at Carlton Landing. When we arrived, the community of houses was really cute and our rental was nice and very clean. We climbed up the steep ladder to the loft just to see it. While cozy, I would have to warn anyone with children that it could present a danger to kids who sleepwalk or get up in the night forgetting where they are as it is about 12 feet off the main floor.

Perhaps this should have been a foreshadowing of what the "resort" had to offer; none of the links would ever load. We are active people and love to have things to do.

There is not a general store on the property and all of the restaurants and food trucks were closed as they, also, only open on the weekends. The nature trails were a very short jaunt and we were disappointed that they didn't lead us near the lake. We did not have a code to get into the fitness center.
