We wanted somewhere close to the highway but not the usual “roadside” hotel. Thought we’d try something new and I’m glad we did. The unit smelled so fresh and clean, super spacious with plenty of spare pillows, blankets & towels. Highly recommended

David, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Loved the location and hospitality. Was very quiet and enjoyable stay.

10/10 Exceptional

Stayed in the Standard 2 bedroom cabin which suited the 3 of us just fine. Nice newly built cabins with A/C, creature comforts and walking distance to the water park, pool and lake. Only complaints if I had to find them, was the screen door didnt have a locator for the door latch and bathroom door latch didn't line up so it couldn't be locked. Highly recommended and will be back 👍
Carlos, 2-night trip

Great place to go with kids. Lots of family friendly activities. A bit overpriced, but the cabins are brand new and spacious. Cafe food is good but slow and very pricey.
