We stayed in the log cabin tiny home and it was immaculate. It was so clean, cozy and perfect for our stay. It was stocked with fresh bedding, linens and kitchen accessories. The staff i spoke to on the phone were so friendly and accommodating especially as we had a big group and needed lots of parking and there was lots of snow. Can't wait to book here again!! 10/10 recommend.

This location has the potential to be an excellent destination for a family vacation, offering numerous enjoyable activities and commendably clean cabins. My lower rating is primarily due to a few issues we encountered. On our first night, the fire detector's low battery caused continuous beeping. Despite our attempts to contact maintenance after hours multiple times and leaving a message, we received no response. Consequently, we had to remove the battery ourselves from one of the accessible detectors. Throughout our three-night stay, no one followed up regarding this matter. The front desk suggested we email the owner, which we did, but again, we received no reply. Fortunately, no serious incidents occurred, though I am concerned about how such a situation, which could have been easily resolved, was handled. Another point of disappointment was the inflatable water park being closed for the entirety of our visit. This amenity was a significant factor in our decision to choose this location, and we would have appreciated more accommodating operating hours.

Large resort with RV, log cabins and Yurts. Newer facility so everything was nice and clean. Would recommend better comforter (had throws in the room) and careful cleaning and supply replenishment (had to ask for shower gel and hand soap) as bottles were empty. Waterpark and some other amenities incurs extra fee. Restaurant closed on Monday so we were not able to use the food coupon.
