- RUN, do not walk away from this place! My SO and I went to
- visit this place (one of those "come look at our place and we'll
- give you a gift" direct mail deals, and we had nothing else to do
- that weekend.) At the time, I was still in college, and yet between
- the two of us we qualified for the "deluxe tour" because our
- income was above $25,000. This place is a glorified trailer park,
- with a few cottages. We got to tour the cottages, otherwise, on the
- pauper tour you only get to look at trailer spots. No kidding!
- The clientele was really scary--mostly a bunch of hicks (in trailers)
- and the amenities were pretty cheezy. There is a lake there, and
- a few hiking trails, as well as a clubhouse and gym--but nothing
- of any great quality. They were of course pressuring us to buy
- that day--at about $10,000. I was too polite to tell them what
- I really thought--that you could give this away and I wouldn't
- want to own it. They finally just gave us our gas grill and $25
- and we left. The gas grill was this really cheezy thing that looked
- like a major fire hazard. The box it came in was smaller than that
- of a habachi. You might be able to grill 2 hamburgers on it if
- you're lucky, and the propane was not included.

- Like I said--RUN AWAY!!
