Summary: We had a wonderful stay! The location was perfect—close to everything we needed, which made getting around so easy. The property itself was amazing and had so many great amenities. Our kids absolutely loved it all, especially the pool, spa, basketball hoop, and mini putt putt.We did run into a few issues with heating the pool and spa, but Kris was fantastic to work with—very responsive and helpful throughout.Overall, a great experience and we would definitely stay here again!
