I was doublecharged for the stay.. once at booking, one when checking in. All the staff kept telling me they couldnt help, but someone else would need to do it. It is infuriating and i spent half my vacation trying to get some help. I will not be back and cannot reccomend the place.

My first time ever going glamping and it was pretty awesome. The room was specious and nice. We had a golf cart the entire time which was super convenient. It made it so much easier to drive around and get to places throughout the resort as some places are a few min drive in the cart. The water park was nice. The saloon was cool. Overall great experience. Lots of things to do as well. The rodeo was AWESOME.

This is a beautiful place - I stayed in a 1 bedroom cabin for a week - it was decorated beautifully and the bed was so comfortable. Even the sofa bed was very comfortable that I fell asleep on it a couple of times there - waking up in the morning and being able to sit on the porch to drink my coffee and enjoy nature was a simple moment of peace that made everything feel calm and right. There is a lot of activities that you can enjoy like the Rodeo, the waterpark, riding a horse, bike riding or just watching the cows, and all animal at the petting farm. I was there on the last week on February this year and I enjoyed it so much I am going back in May so my parents can enjoy it too. The staff is very friendly and they really take care of you. They make you feel welcome. If you want a place where you want to relax and get away from the city this is the right place for you.

I loved the place, its so beautiful and clean, the staff is super friendly. We got the teepee and the breakfast was on time, room very clean and comfortable. The only thing I would change/request is more things, activities and options to do and eat during the week days. Most of the restaurants and bars were closed and the few options open closed super early. You literally don’t have any options to do after 8 pm. On the other hand, the few activities that we could book were great, but one the activities (escape room) was canceled the same day a couple of hours before the activity, they dont give us a reason or excuse. I would definitely recommend this beautiful and relaxing place.

They charge you a 6+ star price but is a 3- star facility. I went with a large group of woman, so no matter where we went we would have a good time. I and my camp mates were so so happy. It is quaint and out in the “woods” we did the “glamping”. The only way I would go back is with a large group, the checking was not a delight, we couldn’t get bikes on a Saturday until after 12 pm??? And the fine dining was not so fine. As much as we paid for a “glamping” tent, I do not believe we got our moneys worth. I would never pay this type of money for what we got. Everything was bolted down in room, little walking space, got bruised up trying to get around the room. The cost for a water bottle was 6.00 what??
It is quaint and cute, but .. nothing spectacular, for the price ..
