We went during Thanksgiving and the pool was nice. The staffs are friendly and attentive. The bathrooms need to be cleaned and an update. We got the Cabin and there were no bathrooms. The common bathroom are just half bath. You can only access the shower room once the pool opens.

This property is great . I wish it had a couple rugs to feel a little bit more inviting, and that the bathroom was a little cleaner, but other than that for the price it was great!! The staff is really friendly and helpful. We will definitely stay there again!

We enjoyed sitting in the hot side of the hot springs, would of liked the other pool to be a little warmer. Having more options for food and drinks The deposit was more than the room, yikes. I was taken back on that, for that price they could do a little upkeeping. The night we stayed there was a couple arguing very loudly I was ready to call the police but someone opened there door and they quieted up. After those things it's a nice little place to get away to. Everyone we talked to were so nice the young ladies so polite and helpful.
