We stayed a couple nights right after new year's and the check in experience was pretty rough. The line was at least 50 parties deep and took 40+ minutes to navigate. Parking lot was full already so we took advantage of the valet. Food on site was good but pricey. The themed dinners during the winter break in the Lakeside Cafe are a great value, check ahead for the schedule. We were there for prime rib night which was quite good. The outdoor pool is great even in rain, or in our case snow. Your head gets a bit cold but the pool stays nice and toasty. Getting out quickly obviously is a good idea in this case. Overall, had a great time and very kid friendly. Ideally should come when the weather is better so you can do some hikes without getting drenched.
