Great Stay for Family Holiday World Trip

Stayed here with family for a weekend trip to Holiday World and it was perfect! Great space, nicely decorated, comfortable beds, and clean. My three nephews had space to run around outside, and we enjoyed making s'mores over the fire pit. It was close to the park and made a wonderful home base.
