Thank you so much for staying with us! We’re so glad your family felt at home and that the kids enjoyed the playroom — it’s one of our favorite spaces, too. Nothing beats a cozy night’s rest and good coffee in the morning! We’d love to welcome you back to the SPAM® Fan Retreat anytime.

Family visit

What a wonderfully appointed home. It felt like a cozy home away from home. And the location was so convenient to everything. And check in and out couldn't have been easier. Also appreciated the fact that if we needed anything, our host was right there. Would definitely stay here again.
