I REALLY enjoyed the woodland areas. They were peacefully and QUIET. The staff members were very friendly and cute. I especially liked the alpaca crew. They were lovely and very helpful.
the lodge was smaller than expected. It was RIGHT next to a busy road. I think the entertainment was a little poor, i was expecting more.
