Review of Three Valley Lake Chateau Ltd.

The gardens are even prettier in real life than in the photos. Kids enjoyed the playground, pool, indoor garden, and game room. The staff really went out of their way for us. There's plenty of things to do in the area for people of all ages. The restaurant had a good kids menu, and I was happy with the food there too. The cafeteria mostly has snacks and simple breakfast food (we made our own PB&J sandwiches for breakfast anyway, and I was pleased our mini fridge had a freezer for the ice pack we use for our road snacks). My 6 yr old said she felt like we were staying in a palace! Cute. I think my 2 yr old agreed. It's decorated in a luxurious style, on a gorgeous site, yet without any super expensive decor or over-the-top amenities so there is a sense of being in luxury without the crazy price tags or pretentious vibe. The place is so gorgeous it really does feel like a mini paradise, yet casual at the same time. I wouldn't call this chateau "high end" or "economy" --it's just a perfect blend of both, truly. You'll get great value for your money. I am really, really glad we discovered this gem and we will be back for sure!

Additional notes: One wee drawback to this place is poor wifi. It's fine in the lobby, the restaurant, the cafeteria, and the gift shop but weak in the rooms. Great excuse to unplug anyway, so we didn't mind. At least wifi can be found when needed. There's a hot tub but it is kept scalding hot for some reason, unless you ask to have the temperature lowered and then it takes hours to cool... odd. On the upside, there's small library and 2nd game room in addition to the indoor garden and pool, so lots of places to hang out in cold weather! My 6 yr old also adds that having a room with a balcony overlooking the garden was *awesome!*)
