- CGCarrie Gill1 day ago3.0My review is based on our experience at WINTER WANDER TRAIL OF LIGHTS. I was a bit skeptical due to the price since it was $30 a person however most of our group had never been. We arrived there and the parking attendants were very nice, the ladies at the bar/drinks were extremely helpful and kind. We walked through the first portion of lights and stopped at the tent to watch a short version of the Nutcracker ballet which was nice. We continued on the path and came up to the first light tunnel which our group were taking photos. We started having people line up behind us to take photos as well so my pregnant daughter and son in-law walked on up to take a quick photo since NO ONE was around. An individual with his family came up as they finished and very unprofessionally said keep it moving there are no photos allowed in this area. It really upset my daughter. We were headed out and this individual that spoke to my daughter and son in law worked there and went with his family to visit Santa. I walked over to the very nice ladies at the bar and asked if they could tell me the name of the individual that is over with his family visiting Santa. They came back and said his name is Kevin Thurman. He very quickly came out and said that he is the event coordinator and I should not be speaking to anyone since he is the one running the event. I explained to him that the way he spoke to my daughter was completely unacceptable and very unprofessional. I stated that there is a right way and wrong way to speak to someone. He very sternly kept saying that they were not to be taking pictures in that area and I told him that there was absolutely no one around to except him and his family and they had already taken there 2 pictures. He basically called me a liar in so many words and said there was a group of people coming through. When I said yeah it was our group finishing taking pictures at the first one he continued to argue and basically calling me a liar again.. Kevin Thurman went behind the counter and after my husband heard how he was speaking to me he went over and told him that there was reason for him to act that way towards all of us over one picture that was taken. Kevin Thurman stated multiple times that he would show us the signs that were posted that say no photos in this area. Kevin Thurman then called security on us because we embarrassed him in front of other individuals and his family. We never raised our voices, cursed or did anything wrong except telling him how unprofessional he was and his behavior was very unexceptionable. Please be cautious if you visit the WINTER WANDER TRAIL OF LIGHTS and be sure not to take pictures and if you do stop and read every sign so that Kevin Thurman does not disrespect you the way he did my family. Our trip was not all bad however Kevin Thurman needs to be educated on how to speak to people if he is suppose to be the one to represent this event and to spread Christmas cheer.
- CTCharles Thach5 days ago5.0Very nice place. Food and service are great. Beautiful scenery and amenities. Some of the smallest details make it enjoyable (crushed ice machine, fire place in bedroom, clean water)
- KLKenneth LeachNov 14, 20255.0Winter Wander is fantastic 👌
- GGGemmaOct 18, 20255.0Had a wonderful stay, I really enjoyed the facial and manicure. Location is breathtaking, the service from front of house to the restaurant staff were brilliant. Nothing was ever too much. Thank you for a wonderful relaxing time.
- MCMichele ClaireOct 17, 20253.0The location and the grounds plus the pricey restaurants are the only things that makes this resort a 4 star hotel. Our room was dusty, dusty and dusty. The toilet seat cover was ridiculously loose. The bathroom did supply shampoo, conditioner and body wash. Hand soap and lotion but the towels were shredding and falling apart. The carpet had stains as did the furniture. Also there is no table to sit and eat at in the room. Did not like the up front $200 charge for “ in case of damages.” I’ve stayed at 5 star hotels that don’t charge that. If you have the money and are not bringing kids it might offer you a great stay, but for us we will not be returning to this hotel.
