"My family really enjoyed our stay. It was our first time staying at this property and it did not disappoint. There are plenty of activities on the grounds. You can relax in the backyard next to fire pits, play hard games, hike to sunset rock, and then enjoy a nice dinner either at the property or at the woods restaurant. The onsite store is perfect for a coffee or a quick snack. Staff is 10/10 friendly and very helpful."
