We have been going to Cherrystone for 15 years, and my wife's family for over 45 years, We use to always go the week before and including Labor day weekend, Several years ago they started allowing all the personal tricked out golf carts, which is fine but there were kids driving them like crazy with no concept that they are driving something that can easily hurt someone. At night the lights on the carts were so bright you couldn't enjoy the campfire. Plus there were so many different kinds of music being played very loudly that, as a musician, it drove me nuts! This would all start the Thursday before Labor Day, so we came up with a solution, We went the third week of August and all our issues were solved! We do love Cherrystone, the location is awesome, the staff for the most part is friendly, The Little Neck Café has good food, there is a well stocked store. We enjoy our week at Cherrystone, just don't like going over holiday weekends.
