10/10 Excellent
"LOVE the resort. The tents were beautiful, I have never been camping, and was made fun of never been camping, so this is my first version of glamping (lol, I know it's not). We spend the night because it was my birthday, the tent was very romantic, we walked the premise down to the water edge, had dinner at the resort, smores for dessert by the fire, bubble bath in the huge tub. It was amazing. The ONLY thing I would change is the fire place instructions, us old folks can't bend down to read that instructions, and even with the instructions can't find the dial for the longest time, so maybe better instructions not on the very bottom of the fire place?"

"As a person with scent allergies I was very happy to discover no strong scents at all, not even the sheets and pillowcases were strong smelling with gross fabric softeners. The lack of carpet is always helpful too. The sinks and showers were very nice with anti fog. The place was super clean and didn't need strong scents to mask anything. Very happy to tell all my scent sensitive friends!"
