Fodor's Travel Talk Forums - Eastover Resort

hi Mary: Your question made me laugh and brought back may happy memories; I haven't thought of Eastover for a while. I went with my family every year for a family week for over 10 years. Its been a while but I suspect nothing has changed. For my father, who went in his twenties, nothing was much different when he brought the family back when he was in his forties. I visited from the time I was about nine or ten into my twenties and always had plenty of people to hang around with and plenty of things to do. Family weeks always had tons of kids of all ages. There were many activities scheduled throughout the day, always something to do and someone to do it with. Accomodations are rustic, a series of buildings of one or two stories, no phones, no tv, but if ever there was a place where you never, never, ever were in your room, this is it. Activites all day, then happy hour in the Carriage Room, dinner, and then down to Tally Ho in the evenings. Same thing every day, every year and we always looked forward to it! The best thing to say about the food is there's alot of it! Not terrible, just nothing to write home about. And, if all else fails, you could always get a burger for dinner. Eastover was a high point growing up for my family. People go there for generations. Like my father, they started with singles weekends, then when married, for couples weekends, then graduated to family weekends. Now, I suspect, my peers during those family weekends are now returning with their own children. For a family get-away, I can't image a better place.
