The variety of accommodations, from standard rooms to exclusive hot tub lodges, is appealing, as are the diverse on-site activities and entertainment programs, however, some facilities seem to be in need of refurbishment.

AMAZING cabin experience!
clean cabinpeaceful locationwell equipped kitchenpoor signage
The cabin TOTALLY was great. Its location was very peaceful. I really appreciated how clean the cabin was and how well equipped the kitchen was. It had all the necessary appliances and utensils. I also thought the bedrooms were of a GENEROUS size, especially the en-suite bathroom. It felt very luxurious.
The park is not well sign posted. It took us a long time to find our cabin after arrival. I also saw other people driving around confused. Better signage throughout the resort would be REALLY helpful.
