“We had a great night away, next time we plan to do more than 1 night! We have 2 adults and 6 kids, and we stayed in the Kid's Suite. It was perfect and exceeded our expectations! The kids loved it, we loved it, and we are excited to return! The kids had a blast at the waterpark, although the younger kid area was out of order, but that didnt change how much my kids loved it! The co.plimentary breakfast was good and plentiful. Thank you to the staff at the Lodge for providing such a great experience!”
“We are here for a fishing tournament. 3 nights total. Rooms are great for the most part. Check shower temperatures before you put your toddler in after the pool. All 3 nights our showers for all 4 of us were constant ice cold than scolding hot then ice cold than scolding hot. Unfortunately I made my 5 year old shower first and he screamed bloody murder. I had to instantly shut the water off and fill up the tub carefully so he could finish washing. Not sure if it was just our room or if a lot have this issue. I would've complained but the lady at the desk was helping customers and I didnt want to raise my concerns in front of others just in case it was indeed only our room having the issue. The toilet is obnoxiously loud. And makes noises like its filling the tank every 5 minutes or so but it was very annoying. Made sleeping a little difficult if the bathroom door got left open. If someone went to the bathroom in the middle of the night, everyone woke up to the loud flushing of the toilet. Again, not sure if it was just our room or not. Pool is nice, has a nice section for little kids. A lazy river that is just ok. The slides were fun! Very fast! My big kids loved it as well as myself. I wish they had some different tubes, so my 5 year old could've enjoyed the slides as well. The tubes dont have a bottom in the whole so he wouldve fallen right through. Hot tub is cool, it goes indoor and outdoor! Also has a little deli kind of thing in the pool area where you can get drinks and pizza. Arcade is cool, good time waster. Prizes are not great. Couldn't win a single thing from claw machines. Kind of a waste of money if actually trying to get prizes.”
