Lots to do, we had a great family trip as we started this tradition last year with our baby. Our room could have been cleaned better, we killed a spider and noticed cob webs, stains on chair and sheets. We also could have benefited from a microwave in the room but none in the building we stayed in. The staff was all very helpful and friendly! Our meals at the main buffet were delicious!

It was a nice little getaway in the winter. We liked the winter activities like snow shoeing and skating. We didn't like having to always drive back to our room every time. Overall nice stay with little activities to keep the kids entertained.

Been to the resort for second time. The resort and rooms are clean. Plenty of things at the resort. Restaurants in the resort serve good food, it is on expensive side but worth the money. If need be Huntsville downtown is close by to drive by or order food.

Everything was great. Food was delicious and staff were pretty good. Nothing amazing or terrible stood out to me. Definitely not a go to vacation spot because there are so many conference rooms, maybe in the summer it would be better. More ideal for business trips.

Spacious room. Great view. Lots of unique guest services like winter sports equipment and a shuttle. Only one tiny hot tub for such a huge resort, not very hygienic. No fan in the bathroom. Rooms not cleaned or anything for a short stay, which is fine, but no way to get dry towels or coffee without going to the main building (which in extreme cold is more annoying). Beautiful resort, just a bit quirky for the price.

Went for a girls weekend and had a great time. The front desk staff were extremely friendly and made us feel welcomed and answered any questions that we had. The room was clean and very comfortable. We enjoyed the dining options too! Our only concern was that there was a hockey tournament, so the pool and hot tub were full of kids, so we didn’t get to enjoy that amenity, no fault of the resort. Definitely going back next year to make this an annual tradition.
