Resort Experience:
These are townhouse-style units with three levels. Ours was located on a hill, so we walked upstairs from the parking lot, upstairs to the front door, and upon entering the unit, saw more stairs! The unit is beautifully appointed. A half-bath is on the entry level. You can then go down to the master bedroom, which has a sitting area, sliding glass door, and a whirlpool bath. You go up to the main floor (living room, dining room, and kitchen) and up another level to the second bedroom and bath. A landing on the top level has a rocking chair and is a nice place to sit and read or stare out the window while waiting for the kids to go to sleep! A big downside was the temperature in the master bedroom. There was a noticeable 10 degree drop in temperature as you reached the lower level.
An indoor pool is in walking distance and another pool and game room are in the main hotel, a 5-minute drive away. The kids' activity center was wonderful and the staff there are committed to making sure you have a good time. We played family trivia and charades. I found all of the staff to be very pleasant and friendly with one exception. The desk staff seemed more intent on having private conversations than waiting on customers. I had to interrupt conversations (after waiting patiently for 10 minutes) every time I approached the desk. This includes checking in, checking out, and asking for directions. There are always plenty of people at the desk but they are always fully engaged in personal conversations with each other or on the phone.
There is plenty to do in the area. We enjoyed beautiful drives, bowling and a movie, skiing, and the Crayola Factory. There are also stables on the property but reservations must be made in advance. The property also has a big hill for skiing or snow tubing.
