Highly recommend this super fun glamping location! There is so much to do and explore. Highly recommend renting a golf cart to explore the grounds and check out the restaurant and the nearby Scheets Creek Saloon (you can access from the grounds and with the golf cart), both have music on certain nights. Follow the trails to the lake, hike, fish, watch the beautiful sunsets,
explore and have fun! Management is also great, Jay, thanks for being so awesome, until next time!!

Just spent a fabulous weekend celebrating birthdays. The staff is amazing and helpful. The tents were perfect for our glamping experience. It is a bit rustic so if you’re looking for a luxury hotel this is not it. spending time relaxing in nature.

Mark was amazing! Came fishing one day and ended up going again 2 days later because we enjoyed it so much!! Some pretty good bites on lures along with a fun environment. If you get a chance try this place out. You won’t be disappointed.

I could not speak highly enough of this place, from the minute I got there I realized I chose the best vacation spot for the weekend. The owners & staff are genuinely some of the best people. The service, the quality, everything was superb. Had a quite, relaxing getaway with the fiance & will absolutely be back often. Incredible view of the lake while you eat incredible meals at the restaurant, beautiful inside & out, again service was spectacular, live music nightly. Hiking, adventuring, exploring, spent some hours kayaking the lake followed by a Romantic dinner & drinks overlooking the lake. A wholesome experience all around. I could not recommend this place enough, stop by if you're around, you will not regret it. To Jay, Mark, & the rest of the incredible staff.. Until next time!

I stayed at Sankoty Lakes Resort a few days ago at the beginning of July, and it was an unforgettable experience! The resort is absolutely beautiful, with some of the best views you’ll find anywhere peaceful, relaxing, and perfect for a summer getaway.
We stayed in one of their spacious, clean, and well-kept cabins, and it felt just like home. Check-in was quick and easy, and the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful.
One of the highlights was taking an evening walk by the lake the fresh air, glowing sunset, and quiet atmosphere made for a magical experience. We also rented a golf cart to explore more of the resort, which was super fun and convenient!
They also offer a great RV park, which is perfect for campers and road trippers. Whether you’re planning a romantic escape, family trip, or even a wedding or special event, Sankoty Lakes Resort is the perfect venue.
Highly recommend this place, I’ll definitely be coming back!
