Comments: I have been going to Penbrook since I was a child and have continued the tradition with my children. The owners are always planning events and activities that are fun for all of us. The location is amazing on a beautiful lake, and the campfires and singalongs are the kids favorite!!!

Positives: Great existing resort, nice small lake.

Negatives: I believe I have.

Comments: I've been going to this resort since I was 3 years old. It has had many owners over those years. However over the last 6 yrs or so the resort has been on a decline. The cottages are absolutely filthy when you arrive with your family after a long drive and pay $800-$1000 per unit. Also don't expect the wood you order to arrive before the end of the week or anything else you may ask for. The store is never open after dinner anymore for the kids or any issues or needs you may have. (one of my fondest memories as a child was store time) There are campers who blantantly bathe in front of you and your children on the beach as "the showers are too disgusting". You cannot pay when you leave because no one is ever at the main office. Oh and you cannot complain (bearing in mind I am not a complainer and very easy going!!!) about the noise LATE at night as it is the owners doing the partying! It breaks my heart my whole family has vacationed here for many years and this will be our last year. The tradition is over! I will keep you apprised as to how this year goes.

Comments: Had a wonderful time. Service and accomd where perfect.....We'll be going again......

Comments: My favourite place in the summer! We started in 2003 with our honeymoon, and have been going back every year since. You can't find better people to have a drink and campfire with!.
