What a beautiful place for a large family to celebrate Christmas! 80degree weather helped make it perfect. We took advantage of all the amenities. Little kids loved the heated pool with adults favoring the hot tub.Had pickleball tournaments, ping pong tournaments, basketball games. We have 2 chefs that loved all the outdoor kitchens. The indoor main kitchen made food prep easy with space for many working in the kitchen. Had some canoe races and some of the guys took an invigorating cold plunge….and warming in the sauna and steam room. Would also like to thank the host for a lovely decorated Christmas Tree. So many treasured memories made. We will be returning and recommending to others!Thanks again,Ginger
