    Cutting through the noise

    A picturesque escape! Friendly staff and gorgeous views made my stay delightful. The outdoor pool and hot tub were refreshing after a day of adventure, but I wish the Wi-Fi was more reliable. Despite some noise from neighboring activity, the plethora of family-friendly activities offered kept us pleasantly engaged. Can't wait to return!

    cleanliness issue

    The King Room with Balcony was really nice! Super comfy bed and the shower had great pressure. The balcony view was peaceful, with a nice overlook of the trees. It felt clean and cozy overall. The only downside was that there was limited wi-fi, which was a bit of a hassle.

    The outdoor pool and hot tub offered a refreshing escape, perfect after a day of exploring. The amenities for families, including mini-golf and pancake breakfasts, were enjoyable additions. On the downside, the laundry facility lacked sufficient machines, leading to long wait times, and the limited Wi-Fi made planning difficult. However, the friendly staff enhanced our experience.

    Perfect for family getaways

    We enjoyed the hot tub after a long day, it was just what we needed. And the breakfast setup was simple yet had fresh fruit, definitely met our needs for the morning.

    It wasn’t exactly cheap, but it felt acceptable for the quality.

    Great for families!

    We just spent 4 nights here in a King Room with Balcony. Super fun for families with kids—there's a small pool, splash area, and even a hot tub! The restaurant was solid for breakfast and the staff were super friendly. Just wish the big pool was warmer. Overall, a solid spot for a family getaway!

    Great Family Activities in a Beautiful Location

    We had a wonderful three-night stay with our kids! The outdoor pool was a much-needed treat after a day of adventures. Enjoyed the campfire evenings with s'mores. To avoid crowds, head to the pool early. Great base for exploring nearby attractions! Don't miss the delicious chuckwagon dinner experience.
