Cannon Dam Cabins, Perry

Location was great. The cabins would be fine if they were clean. They are not fancy but for a family looking to got the lake they would be perfect...IF THEY WERE CLEAN. My sister in-law went to the store to by bathroom cleaner so that we could give the kids a bath. The tub was black and covered in soap scum. The pool was cloudy as was the hot tub. With not dumpsters and no where to drop off drop trash, the bags of trash were left outsid teh cabin. Cleanin service did not pick them up, so animals broke them open at night. This place could be really great if they kept it up, but nothing is being re-invested back into the property. I would rather sleep in a tent then return here.

The cabins look decent from the outside, but looks can be deceiving. Upon entering our cabin, we noticed a terrible odor, and after taking a few steps, saw that there were about 15-20 flies buzzing around the cabin, concentrated in the small "living room" area. When we entered the kitchen, we saw a used fly strip hanging in the corner, with about 20 dead fly carcasses stuck to it. There were also bits of food scattered about the carpet in various places. We tracked down a "housekeeping", and she ran a quick vacuum in the span of 30 seconds, pronounced it "clean", and when we asked if she would change out the fly strip, she refused, saying it was placed there by the previous guests and it wasn't her job. We then went to check out the rest of the site, and the indoor pool was so over-filled with chlorine you couldn't see the bottom, the water was so cloudy. I assume this is because they don't clean their pool (or anything else) but rather keep dumping chemicals in to mask the dirt. Disgusting. We were so sickened by the smell, the flies, and the overall disgusting conditions of the cabin that we decided we could not step foot in there again, let alone sleep there comfortably. We proceeded to the "reception desk", which is in the camp store next to the nightcrawler station, and the young girl who was manning the registrer claimed to not have the authority to refund our money, that would have to be done by the owners who rarely come in. She told us our best chance of receiving a refund was to call them the next day. We've been calling for over three weeks, have not had a call back, nor have reached the owners in person. We have yet to receive a refund, are thoroughly disappointed by the lack of customer service, cleanliness and overall care, and would not recommend this place to anyone, ever. It's the most disgusting place we've ever been, and shudder every time we think about it. Our weekend boating vacation was ruined because of Cannon Dam's misrepresentation, and we are seriously thinking about a lawsuit due to the emotional distress of having drove 3 hours each way and losing money.

The indoor pool here is great!! There is also an excellent restaurant waking distance from the cabin. We had plenty of room for all the kids, all of our stuff and our boat. I will definitely stay here every time I visit Mark Twain Lake.
