The property was well maintained and clean. We got cabin 309 - which led right to a creek. The kids loved it. Restaurant was very good - pizza was perfectly done. Margaritas were strong and delicious. Overall, a great stay for those who want to be in the woods but want the amenities of a hotel.

The staff was friendly and accommodating! The room was good, we stayed in the main hotel not the cabins. The pool was excellent and there were a few fun things to do as a family like putting golf and a creek to walk by. The restaurant had good food but was expensive. We took pony rides nearby which is not a part of the hotel but very close.

Our girls weekend was amazing. I love the pillows on the bed. Every night was very comfortable. They had the most yummy food and drinks. We had so much fun chatting with other friendly visitors at the pool and hot tub. I loved how peaceful it was on the property walking around the creek, taking pictures and enjoying the peaceful atmosphere. I also love that it was dog friendly even though I didn’t bring my baby but for sure next time.
