Our cat spent two weeks at Lakes Region Pet Resort over the holidays and it was great! The manager, Katie, was a vet assistant at Interlakes Animal Hospital (and, full disclosure, a friend of ours) and she is amazing with animals. The whole experience was great. They have some small "cat condos" which we felt were too small for our very active 14+ pounder. They converted some of small dog rooms to cat rooms and this worked perfectly for us. If you have a smaller or less active cat they might do well in the condo. The entire place is spotless and bright. It's a great environment.
We have also had the in-house pet sitter who was wonderful but significantly more expensive. Our guy is on a special diet and needs to be fed twice a day (no free feeding). If I were going away for a long weekend I'd use the in-house pet sitter so as not to remove him from his regular environment as there was a period of adjustment for him. However, for a week or more the resort makes much more financial sense plus I like the idea of 24-hour staffing versus someone coming in twice a day.
