Lifts run at a reasonably faster speed than competing ski resorts. Runs are also longer than competing resorts. I would say the runs are softer than other resorts, so you can feel good going down Midwest black diamonds. They have ski and snowboard rentals including the shoes. Rental fees are separate. Decent amount of runs and lifts. Their food is great wait staff is helpful and friendly and the wait for food doesn't take too long. The lodge cafe offers hot drinks, bar food, bar, and sometimes live music! It's a nice nearby getaway for folks from the Milwaukee and Illinois area. Parking is also decent. They also have lockers for small and big sizes. Small ones cost 75cents each time you open the locker. $20 for all day. I'd definitely come back for a nice nearby drive away.

So much to do, clean bathrooms, beautiful scenery, beach and waterpark, it's like six flags but camping. Great camping experience for the children, nothing to complain about, even the young staff is super nice and helpful! If your not big on camping, but you want your young ones to experience it.. this is the place-- I have been camping for decades all around the state, this one is top on our list for the children to experience a bit of glamping! Will always be coming back! Drone show is the coolest thing!

Our family recently stayed at Yogi Bear Jellystone, and unfortunately what should have been a fun…read morevacation turned into a stressful and frustrating experience. Shortly after our stay, a member of our family developed numerous bites. I am attaching photos taken the day we left the campground, along with updated photos taken several days later showing that the bites continued to worsen. After contacting management, they sent us an Ecolab inspection report stating that no evidence of bed bugs was found. We went and saw a doctor. As a paying customer, you expect some sort of compassion, open communication, and a willingness to investigate further--not a report that, from my perspective, did not reflect what we experienced. Given that this occurred during the busiest part of the camping season, it was hard not to feel like protecting cabin rentals and the campground's reputation was given a higher priority than addressing a guest's health and safety concerns. Whether that was the intention or not, that is certainly how the situation came across to us. I encourage anyone considering a stay to review the attached photos. Everyone can draw their own conclusions, but our family's experience left us feeling extremely disappointed. We understand that no business is perfect, but how a company responds when something goes wrong says everything.

I am obsessed with Ten Chimneys!!…read more The backstory is fascinating. This wonderful, glamorous Broadway couple found their way to the sweet little mid-west town of Genesee Depot is intriguing on it's own. Their summer home is lovely. I can feel the parties and good times that surely took place in years gone by. Everything has been lovingly preserved by those in charge and offer a wonderful glimpse into this adored couple's lives. The grounds are the perfect backdrop to the home. The entire estate gives off a quiet and relaxing vibe. It makes me understand why, on their time off, they would long to come home to Ten Chimneys. There were 2 tour times offered. Everyone takes a small bus from the starting point. A talented docent brings you on a detailed journey back in time and into the private world of Alfred Lunt and his wife Lynn Fontanne. Of course, there is a gift shop to visit after your tour. Be sure to check out the customer restrooms. The ladies room is glamorous with ladies finery and there is a huge King's throne in the mens room! Don't miss the walking tails if you want to take in a bit more nature!

Cross the same threshold that the likes of Vivien Leigh, Helen Hayes, Lawrence Olivier, Katharine Hepburn, Noel Coward, Alexander Woolcott, and so many others crossed, as you become part of the storied list of visitors.

We were hoping to get on at Elegant Farmer and ride to the depot but opted to just go straight to the museum/depot instead due to the ticket instructions. They don't have a direct line, just an answering service. The answering service staff was unhelpful and sounded irritated by taking a message. We were irritated for leaving messages that were never returned. If you have questions, reach out via the contact us option on their website at least 2 days in advance and you should be good. They are doing a lot with a little and making it enjoyable for the kiddos. Probably won't return but happy we tried it.

They had trains doing rides every on the hour for a reasonable price and toddlers under 2 were free. Unfortunately, we didn't get to ride because the boys hadn't napped but it was so fun watching the trolleys and electric trains and hearing them go "choo choo" as my boys say. They had reasonable food - hot dogs and root-beer and model railroads to look at. My husband and k agreed that we will definitely bring the boys back next year and look forward to riding the trains! We also want to try the dinner train someday for a date night! How fun does that sound?!

I really wanted to give this cute place a higher rating. I went for a weekend with my sister and…read morewas not thrilled. Positives: Decor: the place itself was quaint and very well decorated with pieces from the time. Nature - my favorite part was the beautiful walk though the woods on property just feet from the house. Stunning. Negatives: Bed was under 5 feet long! Since I'm 5'5", it was a terrible night of not sleeping. I couldn't lie on my back as I usually do, because my feet needed another 6-12" of space. Curled on my side could have worked if the mattress didn't sag so much. I stayed in a room that calls this bed a 3/4 bed online. No explanation of what that means. I googled it and found that 3/4 beds are normal length but between a twin and a full. That is not what this bed was. After our stay, I emailed the owner and asked her to update the listing with more information so I could give it a better review. She said she would but that was almost two months ago. The review still states that 3 people could stay in that room, which would only be true if one of the people were 4'6" or shorter. Breakfast was not what I'd have expected from a b&b. First, I'm used to being able to sit at a table near other couples but not be forced to be at the same table as we were here. Half a nice grapefruit was a good start. Then some slices of store bought krugel. Fine. But then no eggs. No savory portion. Just straight from the store bought coffee cake to some kind of French toast which seemed mostly just bread and sugar. She asked who eats sausage. I don't but then there was no protein replacement which was fine but not ideal. Also, breakfast isn't served until 9a which seemed quite late to me.
