We really enjoyed our stay at X Marks The Spot (purple). The house was comfortable and roomy for our crew of 10!! It was so convenient to Holiday World…just a few minutes walk. The host was great to respond to questions quickly, and we will stay again in the future!

Worked great for me and my extended family would definitely book the property again for our next Holiday World visit. The house had a lot more amenities than I have found at other properties and you can practically walk to Holiday World if you wanted so it likely the closest proximity to the park compared to other places.

Perfect for Holiday World

We stayed here while spending the weekend at Holiday World. It is very clean and comfortable with plenty of space for the kids to run around. After a long day in the park it’s the perfect spot to go back to.

Absolutely Perfect!

First, I have always been iffy on staying somewhere other than a hotel when we travel. However, we had a large group on this trip so I decided to give this a try. It was perfect from the start. Amy was quick to respond to questions. We get to the property and it was right across the road from Holiday World. We all go inside and start looking around. It was very clean and setup nicely. Great use of space and plenty of room for the 12 of us. I was amazed at her attention to all the little things. Cards and board games, streaming apps, pack and play and high chair for the baby, corn hole boards, nice seasoned wood staged by the fire pit, bathroom and kitchen essentials, on site washer and dryer. Wonderful experience and will 100% stay again when we return to Santa Claus.
