We were just there at Christmas. There was construction going on, but that didn't bother us. There's a lot of room for expansion and possibly by Sept you could get a Presidential unit if they are building those this year? Pure supposition on my part - I don't know their plans. This is the first Silverleaf we've been to where we didn't stay in a Presidential. The property is large, but there aren't many buildings yet.
We don't golf, so I can't tell you a thing about the course, except it's across the street from the resort.
We had a 2 br LO unit. It was smallish, but comfortable. The deck was pretty large with a good sized table and chairs. We were 3 adults and a dog and we did just fine. We were there to do Christmas and sit around and drink beer and watch football so we were in the unit most of the time. If you need to use the pullout sofa, it's gonna get tight. The living/dining area is not very big.
The decor is supposed to put you in mind of a cabin in the woods, which worked for many of the pieces but if you hate wood, this is not the resort for you. The living room was hardwood, bedrooms were carpet, master bath was stone.
One thing lacking was storage. There was a nightstand, and then a big tv stand with a shelf under it, and then a linen closet-type thing with a hanger rail and that was it for the master bedroom. Same linen closet/armoire thing in the second br, a nightstand, and I don't remember if the tv stand was a dresser or just a stand with a shelf? There was a table and 2 chairs, plus the kitchenette space. Anyway, aside from the kitchen, storage was rough.
Plenty of towels and an abundance of toiletry items. Kitchen was stocked well. No laundry in unit.
3 tvs, no vcr but you could rent or check one out and the movies to go with. 3 story buildings, no elevator. parking was plentiful.
The master bedroom/bathroom config was a bit different. The toilet had it's own tiny room, but the sink and whirlpool tub/shower were actually in the master bedroom. This didn't present any problems, but could if one of you is a late sleeper and the other wants to get up and shower early. Obviously, the second bedroom (lockout) had its own full bath.
As with the other Silverleaf properties we've visited, there is plenty to do: mini golf, game room, horses, outdoor pool, workout room, sauna, snack bar ... great staff, plenty of planned activities. We got to town early and our room was ready so we got right in.
We enjoyed the area but those requiring constant action will do best back at the resort or somewhere else completely. Black Rock State Park was one of my favorite stops, but there are other scenic areas with waterfalls and such. We enjoy being in small towns in the midst of nothing, and that's pretty much what this was.
If there's something I forgot, just ask!
