2025 At Our Beaver Lake Resort

Joshua Berry – 5/5
“It was a perfect weekend getaway. There is something to the calm and serenity that comes with an off-season visit. Nobody was on the lake, no sounds of boat engines, and no people. Just us in a beautiful log cabin with a hot tub that provides a perfect view of the lake. We watched birds of all kinds flock to the feeder attached to the porch. And we witnessed the dense morning fog tumbling across the water as it tried to freeze. The fireplace (with wood provided) added to the ambience of the room. It was wonderful.“

“We go on a vacation almost every year. This year was first time here. The nicest cabin we have had so far. Very clean, kitchen well stocked with cookware and dishes, bathrooms will stocked with toiletries and towels and wash clothes. An overall great stay. Would definitely return. Also centrally located all the activities we planned were within 30 minutes from the cabin. Thank you Sugar Ridge for a great stay.“

Jeanette Gillespie – 5/5
“This was the BEST anniversary ever. I can’t say enough how amazing this place is. We will be back for sure. Beautiful and cozy. I wish we could’ve met the owners to thank them personally. Everything you would need or want was provided. Thank you again for an amazing stay.“

Holly Bounds – 5/5
“I had the pleasure of staying in studio suite A, which is on the top floor above the office with a spectacular view of Beaver Lake. It has an outdoor charcoal grill, full-size refrigerator, coffee pot with coffee and filters, microwave, and all kitchenware needed if you want to eat-in. There’s a Jacuzzi tub and a seating area along with the bed, a small TV, and dining table. There is no food on-site so hit the grocery on your way in. Note that the stairs are outside, and there is no elevator. Plenty of free parking. You will access the Resort via an uphill, gravel driveway so be advised if you are driving a low-slung car. That said, it was Corvette Weekend, and the ‘vettes made it just fine!“

Jean Villines – 5/5
“Great experience for our 40th anniversary,it was so nice and peaceful the scenic view was beautiful, everyone was helpful and very nice“
