I was thoroughly impressed by the innovative dining options available at the resort. Each meal was creatively crafted, and the flavors were simply good. The s'mores at the bonfire were a particular highlight of our stay, adding a sweet touch to our fun evenings.

We had an unforgettable time at Madden's Resort, surrounded by stunning landscapes and endless activities for the family. The spacious Golf Villa made our stay comfortable, and the range of dining options was delightful, though I wished for a bit more variety at breakfast. The staff made everything smoother with their care and attention, though my husband found the cabin a bit cramped on our last visit. Overall, we can't wait to return for more family memories!

Maddens Resort is truly a special place with stunning grounds and ample amenities that make it easy to explore.

We had an amazing time at the resort, full of activities that catered to all ages. The cabin was cozy and a bit tight on space for two, but it had lovely decor and was well-kept. The staff were very attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. One drawback is that the dining experience fluctuated; the service and food were outstanding at one place, but not so great at another. Overall, we truly enjoyed our stay and are excited to return.

The resort offers a beautiful setting and a spacious environment, perfect for a relaxing getaway. While my stay had its highlights like stunning views and engaging activities, the specific accommodations we were in felt somewhat neglected and dark. I felt truly welcomed by the staff, but the dining experience could use a little more consistency. Overall, it’s an enjoyable place but with areas needing improvement.
