Wonderful place to stay. We had stayed here about 10 years ago when our son was younger. We have great memories so came back fur a 1night stay with our son. Loved the improvements to the cabooses and property. Had a great time at the 4th of July celebration & fireworks were fantastic. Made more special memories and would encourage families to stay here to do the same.
