Such a wonderful experience! I was so impressed at how nice the facilities were for the horses and the attention to detail throughout the entire park. The food was AMAZING, shopping was so much fun and the hotels were gorgeous! As horse lovers, we were so fortunate to be able to stay here for a few days!!!

This hotel has only been open a year and the king bed was awful! Indented about 3-5”. Shouldn’t be that way for a newer hotel. Overall the hotel is nice and clean. You can hear guests dogs barking at times in their rooms

I am not a fan of the pet friendly environment. Way too many dogs . Our shower would not drain and I am guessing someone washed their dog in the shower and plugged it . I think they will ruin this place
