We stayed a few days after New Years. A small family of three with our son in elementary. The post-Christmas atmosphere and beautifully maintained grounds made for a magical experience. Every staff member we encountered was pleasant and helpful, adding to the overall charm. The beds were comfortable, and our room offered a nice view. However, the water pressure left much to be desired. Some of the post-season amenities were inconsistent. The Fun Mountain bumper cars were closed indefinitely, and the climbing wall was underwhelming. If you plan to dine on the property for dinner, be sure to make a reservation ahead of time. The Truman Coffee Shop wasn’t serving custard items during our visit, but the breakfast offerings were well-portioned and satisfying. Yes, everything was expensive, but if you go in expecting a hefty price tag, it softens the blow. Overall, I’m not sure we’d return during the off season. One can experience much of the “experience” (paid or unpaid) without footing the bill to stay on property.

Beautiful room with amazing views. Courteous staff, awesome gift shop. Lots of family fun. We stayed one night, but more than one night is needed. Huge property! My husband enjoyed golfing there.

You don't check in here, so I was confused. Also, all 3 levels have room numbers in 300s. I love my room, with the balcony and electric fireplace and 'tree add ons'. Coffee pot is Really Hard to Find.

Beautiful resort. Property amenities are amazing. Great activities for the kids. In-room coffee would've been nice, but they did have complimentary snacks and water in the room, which was a great surprise.
