We really enjoyed the resort layout. Lots of different activities which was great for the mix of guests during our stay. It seemed like there was something for everyone. Also, a great spot to see lots of nature! We swam with a frog (we helped it back out), lots of new bug species, vibrant birds and flowers, and even heard coyotes crying in the distance. We loved all of it. We hope to come back again and take advantage of the hiking around the property as well as a bonfire, but we ran out of time. ##### Cutter M. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rachel F. 5 Jun 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Relaxing getaway!
