Truly enjoyed the peace and quiet. Beautiful and just right for 3 nights. Will be going back. Breakfast was wonderful and onsite grill/bar had good food, service, and live entertainment.
Boating and golf were highlights of the on property amenities this trip. We got there early on check in day and had a few hours to kill. Made a trip over to Plains, GA and visited the Jimmy Carter museum in his old high school. Worth the time.
Special note for Susie or Susan on staff there. She for my car key FOB after we checked out and were half way home, called to verify my address, and mailed it back to me. Above and beyond for customer service.

Had to change rooms because the villa was full of outside bugs coming in and extremely mildewy and everything was sticky, even the sheets. Desk was helpful and resolved issue. Extremely lacking for the price we paid. Very disappointed.
The property was lovely and the staff was very friendly. My disappointment is in the quality of the food in the primary dining room. We found it to be unpleasant and inedible. I was also disappointed that the room we were provided was difficult to access. My husband is disabled and every step is challenging for him. The room was on the third floor and although there was an elevator, it made accessing the grounds and amenities quite difficult. Disabled rooms really should be on the first floor.
Setting was great! Paid for the 2 room suite and got a single bed hotel room with no microwave! Don’t go here!!! The only microwave is 100ft away under staff lock and key. Bathroom is equivalent to motel 6. Heater smells like something dead crawled in. There’s a restaurant on the property with live music. The live music was the equivalent of rats scratching on walls with someone who’s voice wasn’t meant for a closed box. Let alone a microphone with speakers. Downfall was that we could hear the music in our room during our stay all day and all night until the bar closed… what a way to ruin a good setting!

Disliked: Cleanliness
There is much going for this property outdoors but the accommodations leave a lot to desire as far as cleanliness. This was my second visit in 5 months and I found the same issues this time around as I did the last. The entrances to the Villas and the individual patios are filthy. I really love the outdoor peace and serenity but coming arriving to open trash cans and front entrances littered with weeks of dirt and debris is not very welcoming. Once again I could not enjoy the private patio because it was dirty. I had to spread a towel on the chair to sit. The windows were so spattered with dirt deposits that I could hardly see out of them. I suspect this may have happened from heavy winds blowing rain against them not once but repeatedly. I complained to management again and was assured that they would follow up with housekeeping. However, since this seems to be a chronic issue, I am not holding out much hope for change. A pity! Cordelia's restaurant service was adequate considering that on both occasions I visited there was only one server on duty. Several breakfast items on the menu included potatoes but none were available two mornings in a row? For $400 for two nights, I did not get my money's worth. If camping is your thing, you would be happy here.
The hotel is old and run down. When we got to our room the door was open. There was hair on my pillow and the bathroom had flies all in it. Room has a weird screened in balcony and the furniture was old and ancient. Never even sat out there. Was supposed to get 2 queen beds but got 2 full. Wasn’t even worth complaining. Went to 2 of the restaurants on site. Service was awful at both but food was decent at Cordelia’s. I will not stay here again overall.
This was my second stay at Lake Blackshear and once again it offered a serene and comfotable contrast to hotels found near the Interstate. It was well worth the short drive west. My room was spacious and contemporary. It was lovely talking a walk along the water before dinner in the lodge. For the price of a hotel room, I felt I had a night in a resort.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Loved the location, views and amenities on the property. Wish we would have stayed in the main lodge instead of a villa for proximity to hot tub and restaurant. Also how tub was not workinf properly (jets) and the staff were not trained on how to use it. Dont waste money on a rollaway. The mattresses need to be replaced.
We arrived pretty late in the evening, but check-in was very smooth and the room was clean and neat. The grounds were fantastic, I wish we were there in the summer but the next morning had a beautiful sunrise and we ate breakfast outside with beautiful view of the lake.
Walked the memorial and old military equipment on display in the park with great information, fantastic!

Disliked: Staff & service
Maid service never showed up to refresh towels and sheets, beds very firm. Other than that it was nice.
We REALLY enjoyed the Blackshear. It was about 10-15 minutes off the highway, but worth the drive in my opinion. The resort is beautiful...the grounds, restaurants, lake, the whole atmosphere was so quaint, quiet and peaceful. We did go in December, so probably not as crowded as the summer. A few restaurants on site were closed for the season but they kept one restaurant going despite the lack of business. The food was really good and the atmosphere of the restaurant was calm and pleasant. My husband was able to fish off the dock there. All rooms have a lake view and all of them have private, screened in porches, which I LOVED! The staff was very nice and welcoming. There are no restaurants near the property (except for the one onsite); the closest fast-food restaurants are about 10 miles away (10-15 minute drive one way). There is a little gym on site that had a treadmill and a stair master. The rooms have refrigerators but no microwaves.
