Good for what it is
It's easy to complain about places, so let's get that out of the way: The hot tub needed to be cleaned; the television in the main bedroom didn't receive any programs; the bed squeaked (like they all do these days); one of the video game machines is faulty and doesn't boot up; and you can see where the mold was that someone else previously complained about, but I'm really allergic to mold and had no problems at all.
All of those are minor inconveniences that some people might add up. The biggest problem we had is that the cabin is extremely remote. The power to the Shagbark Resort went out twice while we were there - once in the middle of the night and once at 10 am. We stayed in Shagbark in the spring as well and didn't experience this, so read into it what you will, but we were WAY out there.
On the other hand, if you like to "get away from it all," you certainly can at the place. The Internet was excellent, and there are a number of great amenities at Shagbark (pool, activity courts, etc). This is a spacious 2-bedroom cabin, and even though we had rain early in the week, we eventually were visited by turkeys, deer, and a bear. It's a nice front porch, and the management did a great job of preparing us for the stay.
