"My family and I booked at the last minute so we could go view the Solar Eclipse. The process of booking, checking in and checking out was a breeze. Jodey was very responsive and extremely helpful in making our stay very enjoyable. We would highly recommend a stay here, and we hope to return for a Christmas visit to Santa Claus."

"First, I have always been iffy on staying somewhere other than a hotel when we travel. However, we had a large group on this trip so I decided to give this a try. It was perfect from the start. Amy was quick to respond to questions. We get to the property and it was right across the road from Holiday World. We all go inside and start looking around. It was very clean and setup nicely. Great use of space and plenty of room for the 12 of us. I was amazed at her attention to all the little things....

5/5 Excellent

Absolutely Perfect!

"First, I have always been iffy on staying somewhere other than a hotel when we travel. However, we had a large group on this trip so I decided to give this a try. It was perfect from the start. Amy was quick to respond to questions. We get to the property and it was right across the road from Holiday World. We all go inside and start looking around. It was very clean and setup nicely. Great use of space and plenty of room for the 12 of us. I was amazed at her attention to all the little things. Cards and board games, streaming apps, pack and play and high chair for the baby, corn hole boards, nice seasoned wood staged by the fire pit, bathroom and kitchen essentials, on site washer and dryer. Wonderful experience and will 100% stay again when we return to Santa Claus."
