Karli was outstanding. she made up for the fact that the hotels.com yet again did a truly ubersuck description of the room and how to get to it. There are not any elevators to the second floor. Karli was kind enough to tell us how to mitigate the problems and was even willing to get our luggage into the room. The room itself was comfortable enough, though the handle was broken to go out on patio and the a/c was deafening, and the dining room was a disaster.

Beautiful drive up to the resort- and the rooms are spacious and clean. Most rooms have balconies overlooking a forest. There a lot of activities to do in the area- we plan to come back when we have more time to hike, bike, swim, and explore the caves!

This park is beautiful and fun. A real gem. Great for hot summer days because the caves are nice and cool. We did the amazing hikes early in the morning and in the evenings. We did a fun evening kayaking tour too. We had a wonderful time and loved the spacious cottage that we stayed in.
