Residents and visitors repeatedly mention the Crow River setting and walking paths.
Many reviews highlight the Crow River location, with residents describing the view and walkable paths along the water. Several also say it’s a quiet place to spend time outside and walk your dog. Some comments describe the grounds as orderly and easy to get around on foot, which reinforces the appeal of the setting.
The community offers pool time plus outdoor activities for a range of ages.
Reviews commonly mention the pool, including that it’s available in summer. Families point to things for children and gatherings, like a playground and basketball courts, and describe the community as oriented to visitors and neighbors getting together. One review also notes the pool as handicap accessible, which adds a specific usefulness for guests who want an easy activity.
Multiple residents describe staff and owners as nice, easy to reach, and helpful.
Some long-term residents say the staff is friendly and easy to contact, and that they listen and help when issues come up. A few reviews also characterize the overall community as full of good neighbors and hardworking people, with a warm day-to-day feel.

Residents frequently report problems with groundskeeping, repairs, and winter snow and ice handling.
Several reviews complain that snow plowing and ice control are slow or ineffective, describing icy roads and sidewalks that become difficult to navigate after storms. Others mention broader maintenance gaps, including general lack of care for repairs, tree or stump clean-up, and exterior upkeep beyond the office and pool area. Even where someone praises the staff, they still wish roads were plowed better, which suggests the winter-care issue is a recurring point.
A recurring complaint is that lot rent and overall costs feel too high for the upgrades and service provided.
Many reviews call out high or increasing lot rent, with multiple residents saying the increases make the community feel not worth the price. Some also connect the cost to expectations for upkeep, pointing out that they want more improvements or better maintenance when paying higher rent. A few reviews go further and describe frustration with management decisions that affected housing costs and terms.
