It worked perfect for our annual St George girl trip. Plenty of room for all. We enjoyed the Lagoon with the paddle board. The place was beautiful, beds were comfortable and it was very clean. I would recommend this to anyone.

Almost Heaven was Heaven

Amazing location and amazing facility. We loved the room and size of bedrooms for our large family. The games and paddle board and lagoon toys were amazing. The location was awesome and had everything you could need. We had an amazing stay. We would definitely rent this property again!!

Awesome place.

It was very clean and neat. We had only 21 people instead of 28. It would have been hard to have 28 even though there was a place for them to sleep, because there is not much room for suitcases. The pool was great but so crowded and hard to find a place to put our stuff and lay down. We had fun and we were comfortable. There were plenty of towels. The service was great and people were very kind. The private hot tub was nice because there was not room for us at the public one. Are there plans for another pool and more pickle ball courts? With all the construction and more people coming it would be even harder to find a place at the pool or get a court. The lagoon was great but cold at this time of the year so little ones couldn’t enjoy it. The wagon and toys for the lagoon were great. The teenagers loved the lagoon. The kitchen was well equipped.

Great vacation location!

We chose this location for a family reunion. The space served as a wonderful home base for our entire crew! We especially appreciated the accommodating dining space and the two separate lounge areas.
