Aspen Lodge. Family Fun, Foam pit, Indoor play area. Great for large groups!

10/10 Excellent
"Aspen lodge was just right for our group of 28 adults and 12 children (8 family units). it had a more spacious gathering area than I had anticipated (the entry, dining, and "TV Room" are contiguous) and the play area is generous; the kids had a great time there and were entertained throughout our 3 night stay. The Kitchen is well stocked with cooking utensils, The patio is great towards the evening (it is on the east side and in the shadows as the sun moves lower in the sky in the late afternoon and evening). The grass area is generous with plenty of room for gqmes. Check in and check out were a snap. Five stars."

"This is the second year we have stayed at this property. Everything was as advertised. We didn't use the hot tub or sauna, but they looked clean and ready. Last year we tried to use the pizza oven using raw dough we brought, fail. (user error) This year we brought premade dough, loaded it up with toppings and it was a huge success! (I think each pizza took 1:30 minutes to cook in the pizza oven) Walking distance to pretty much everything in town, and the pool is ALWAYS a hit for the littles. The kitchen and bathrooms were stocked with what we needed, and the checkout process was clear and easy."
