New Family Getaway Spot

Amazing and private resort that is kid friendly!
Amanda, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Small slice of wilderness charm!

It’s exactly what you would expect for lodges in a state park. Room was clean, beds were comfortable and we could even have our dog with us! Service was good and staff was friendly. Beautiful setting. Deer everywhere along what use to be the golf course. A great 2 mile walk….we probably saw 20 deer!
