This place is well worth the stay much more than what is advertised. They even have a complementary waffle bar that is not advertised as a perk of staying with them. They have kayak rentals and tube rentals as well. love love love it here.

It was beautiful walking down next to the little river that flowed by the resort. We sat at a picnic table. It was so relaxing. We enjoyed the trains going by and spent a few hours up at the Hot Springs. The room was perfect.

Upon arrival we were able to check in early and the staff were amazing. We stayed in the 2 bedroom bungalow that was well stocked and clean. We had family arrive with other young children to visit us and while they were playing on the playground the staff set up a bounce house and made everyone cotton candy. The stay here exceeded our expectations, they really went above and beyond.

It was a cute place, they had a free kids movie playing at night, with fire pits and free popcorn. We had an easy time checking in. Unfortunately there were a lot of ants under our bed from a previous guest’s candy. Not something I wanted to deal with late at night. I would still recommend this place, just check under the beds when you check in.
