Overall wonderful stay. Hotel rooms very spacious. Loved the kitchen that has a regular oven. The only thing that needs improvement is the “glassware” provided are like plastic toys. I understand a lot of guests are children but adults could really enjoy a GLASS of wine. Indoor waterpark is small but fun, best part is the hot tub goes outside . It was very relaxing sitting in hot tub while snow flakes falling around you

Everything you need for a quaint getaway. Worked with me on an early check in, staff was wonderful, food was great! Only bad thing was the hair dryer, which could definitely use an upgrade!! But the resort is so relaxed your hair doesn’t matter at all!

The property and our suite were really nice. The staff isn’t the friendliest. They seemed bothered by the guests. I also left 2 messages prior to checking in and didn’t receive a call back. No one answers the front desk phone. The property though is beautiful, Carvers was fantastic and the rooms are clean. Would definitely stay here again.
