Best Things Nearby:
The small towns are one of the best things nearby (.e Fish Creek, Egg Harbor) however, in the winter lots of stores are closed for the season. In second place are the numerous areas to go hiking. One of the best and most popular (in the summer) is Peninsula State Park. Even though it's winter, a couple of the wineries are open year round (limited hours) for winetasting, call ahead.
Best Things About the Resort:
The timeshare has tons of daily indoor crafty activities one can participate in. They also offer free ski, snowshoe, and ice skate usage to use on their huge property. They give you a weeks worth of firewood for your fireplace. The pool, hot tub, and steam room are also added benefits in the winter time. The resort is also located no more than a 30 minute drive to the best wineries and towns (ie Egg Harbor, Fish Creek, Simon Creek Winery).
Resort Experience:
In winter there are not a lot of tourists in the area, so a lot of shops are closed for the season. Your best bet is to buy your food and cook it in your room. There are a few restaurants that are open year round, just ask the front desk for some suggestions. The resort rooms have all of the utensils you would need, however for the large items you will need to check those out at the front desk. A gas grill is also provided for those who like to grill year round.
Inside the unit the channel selection for the TV is satisfactory for those not used to satellite TV, so either pack some movies/books for the night or rent their movies/books for an extremely reasonable price. The furniture and carpet has been well maintained over the years so the place always looks nice when you first arrive. The resort has a few groomed skiing/snowshoeing trails for the beginner as well as a small ice skating rink. In addition to the large living space, your resort has its own garage and remote control garage door opener.
This resort is definitely worth the Gold Crown given to it as the staff was also very helpful and pleasent. You will most definitely enjoy your stay weather it's in the winter/summer, for a family vacation, or a vacation for two. Oh yeah, the sunrises are beautiful over Kangaroo Lake.
