So much fun for the kids

Stayed for just one night with our kids aged 8 & 10 in a self-contained cabin right across from the playground with the trampoline, which was awesome. Just a few steps away was the giant bouncing pillow which the kids loved. The cabin was comfortable enough, though you can definitely see the wear and tear from over the years. It was great being able to walk to the spa/water park area, though given how small they are and that they're under renovation (1 pool and 1 of the hydroslides were closed), I feel like paying overnight guests should be able to go for free or get a larger discount. Overall we enjoyed our stay but there are definitely things that could be updated/improved on the property in future.
