- Host/Property Ratings and Reviews: the reviews usually tell you if the neighbors were loud, the host responsive, if the place was clean, or how easy the parking was!
- Are Linens and Basics provided?
- Always check if you need to bring kitchen paper, your own sheets, and toilet paper. Listings usually provide that information.

Why people love to stay here
Our family of 19 (ages 8-73) had a wonderful time!! Communication with the owners was very easy. The grandkids were busy from early morning until late evening enjoying all of the onsite activities.
On our last night, we even ate popcorn and watched Space Jam: A New Legacy in the theater room.. It was very convenient to a Walmart and places to eat or get carried out. The entire “resort” was unbelievable and it was totally ours during our stay—only our family so no lines for the paddle boat, golf, zipline, or that amazing 100’ water slide.
This was our 20th family vacation and definitely one of the best!!
