While the staff is amazing, the hotel is definitely a little outdated. There was some mold in the bathroom and paint peeling. The water park while fun was also a little outdated and rusty. Breakfast was hot and tasty but few gluten free options.

The lodge has extremely went down, especially in cleanliness!!! As a family group booking several rooms, we all commented how dirty the rooms were they stunk there was mold on the ceiling, just awful!! The pool is a whole Nother story. There was grimy slime under the climbing logs that kids climb on and hang on the rope. There were sand in the pool, not cleaned at all, obviously for a long time short staffed and lifeguards were on their phones. As of family group of several of us we used to come every year unfortunately this will be our last year due to the terrible circumstances overall

Everything was ok. till we went to eat and only the bar was open. Loud, yelling men at the bar made eating and conversing impossible. Then we had a long day and needed to sleep. They put children up on the 4th floor and we were on the 3rd. The noise and stopping back and forth continually in the room above us till midnite. We only got like 5 hrs of sleep and had to be on our way. Breakfast was no good, freezer burn on some frozen little sausage patties, the so called microwave omlets were like paper with peppers in. Bad breakfast. I would never return and the price for such conditions was ridiculous. Sorry for such a rotten review, but it was bad.
