Everything was great except the outlets didn't work and we couldn't get ahold of anyone to see what was wrong with them.

we had a good turnout of families and a lot of fun. Making a reservation was easy to do on line. The Day use host was very gracious and checked on us twice to see if we needed anything. We will be making another reservation for later this fall.

Had our family reunion here. Lots of room for everyone, and plenty of room for the kids to play. We hope to do it again this year.
