Awesome place…. Except when it snows.

The accommodations were perfect. The unit was newly renovated and beautifully done. The only problem was it snowed very hard when I was there and didn’t get to enjoy any of the amenities they offer due to being closed for ice on the roads. You pay for the amenities card as part of your booking, but everything was closed and no possibility of ever using the card. I called and asked for a refund for the amenities portion and got some excuse that wasn’t acceptable. I hate it, but I’ll never book Fairway Forest again over the poor excuse about the refund, but it’s a very nice place indeed.

A beautiful and well-appointed resort in gorgeous surroundings. Beds were comfortable, basic toiletries provided, even a tiny puff sponge for showers! We only stayed one night but would have enjoyed a longer stay.

Clean and well stocked

The price was right and turned out to be a condo. The lower level of a duplex building amongst many others of the same design, surrounded by woods and golf fairways. Super clean and well stocked with what was needed.

Fairway Forest Resort

Things to note: The check-in office is 1.7 miles from the actual resort. The gym and some of the other amenities are not in the resort, but are across the street from the check-in office, so the photos listed are not necessarily from the resort grounds but across the street from the check-in at the community center (such as the gym/swimming pool/pretty bridge, etc). From where our room was in the resort, it was a 3.2 mile drive to the gym. You will also be charged a daily resort-use fee, whether you use the facilities or not. None of this is explained on the website, or on hotels.com.

Awesome unit to stay in, amenities were clean, convenient. You do have to drive 5mins to access pools, arcade but it was great. Not crowded, areas was clean. My only issue was the thin walls, we heard everything next door.
