Christmas cabin was expensive to stay in. Was hoping for it to be clean. The toilet was not cleaned. The floors were black. Found mice droppings and dead bugs inside cabin. The dishes under the sink all had mouse poop droppings on them as well. All of the dishes had to be washed prior to use. When I looked under the couch it was full of dust and trash. There were cobwebs on light fixtures and under furniture, burned out light bulbs, broken pieces of trim on the shelving that kept coming loose and the kitchen trash can was caked with filth. I regret not bringing this to management attention while we were there. I had to buy my own cleaning supplies to clean my cabin the day we checked in. Not worth the money if you have to clean everything and buy cleaning supplies. Maintenance did bring me a light bulb after I fell outside down the stairs because it was so dark. Really hoping to come back next year but not so sure after this experience.
Overall, it was okay. They had some neat activities for kids for Halloween. The staff were friendly upon check-in and the porch was nice. But, that’s about where the greatness ends. The cabin was way overpriced and there were things that were broken or didn’t work. Some things to note, for light sleepers, don’t flush at night, it’s so loud. The fire alarm is right next to the oven/range, so anything sets it off.
We had the BEST time here! They have almost everything. Definitely rent a golf cart, the place is so big that the golf cart made it so much easier to get around. It’s such a kid friendly place with so much to do. My husband and I enjoyed everything as well! The staff were so nice and exceptional. The only “issue” we had was our cabin wasn’t ready when we got there and the young man working the front gate didn’t really seem to know what he was doing. He was really nice and we kept patient with him, but we eventually got into our cabin. We did get to drive our golf cart around until our cabin was ready which I thought was great for them to allow. Our cabin could have used some dusting and mopping because our bare feet got dirty almost instantly, but everything was really great and comfortable! The shuttle to holiday world was a BLESSING! We didn’t have to drive over there, and it was so convenient to just pack a bag and get on it. Words can’t describe how much we recommend this place! We will now be coming here as an annual visit! Already excited to be there again!
The people who work there are extremely kind and keep the park/resort clean. The cabins need a little TLC and new beds in the bunk room. We go every year and stay in the same cabin each year… same bed. I recommend bringing an extremely thick mattress cover because if you don’t, you’ll be leaving with horrible back pain.
This has been my family's favorite place to camp since 2015. UNTIL new management took over and skyrocketed the prices. It went from being $50 a night to $160+ a night for a week. For the first time since 2015 we won't be spending a week camping here in 2024. For prices at $160+ a night you'd except to be somewhere like Disney World. People camp because it's something relatively affordable and low key for the entire family to enjoy, relax, and spend time together, but at prices this steep, we will be looking elsewhere to spend a week in the summer and a week celebrating Halloween as a family.
