Timber Ridge Lodge and Waterpark
Great trip overall. The rooms were perfect and the staff was outstanding friendly, helpful, and attentive. The only downside was that the resort felt crowded at times and there weren’t enough pool floats. Still a very enjoyable stay and we’d return.

The Dylin by Mint House
HVAC making a squeaking sound. Booked thru Expedia. During booking process - nothing was mentioned about a pet fee. That should be transparent during booking process.
