Best room for families: Room (1 King Bed or 2 Double Beds or 2 Queen Beds)
Why it works: Rooms in Lodge Village put you closest to The Cove Aquatic Center, playgrounds, and family activities. The lodging layout separates Lodge Village from River Lodge and makes these rooms convenient for kids and pool access.
Room features vary by bedding option (1 King Bed, 2 Double Beds, or 2 Queen Beds). Many of these rooms are standard guest rooms with in-room Wi‑Fi and easy access to on-site dining and the resort shuttle.
- Closest to The Cove Aquatic Center (indoor and outdoor pools, waterslide, splash area).
- Near family-friendly dining like The Spotted Frog and The Backyard Café.
- Complimentary access to pool facilities for resort guests.
| Good for | Why |
|---|---|
| Families with young kids | Short walk to The Cove and playgrounds |
| Short stays | Straightforward room layout and nearby dining |
| Budget-minded families | Standard room sizes without separate living area |
Best room for couples or quiet stays: Room (River Lodge) (1 King Bed)
The Room (River Lodge) with 1 King Bed sits in the River Lodge area, which is physically separate from the main Lodge Village. That location tends to be quieter and closer to lawns and river-facing paths.
Rooms in River Lodge offer standard guest amenities and in-room Wi‑Fi; pick this area if you prefer a quieter evening, easy access to walking paths, or a room that feels less centered on pool traffic.
- One King Bed configuration only — better for couples.
- River Lodge location is quieter than Lodge Village.
- Close to grounds, walking paths, and some river access points.
| Who should pick it | Main benefit |
|---|---|
| Couples | Quieter setting away from family pool areas |
| Guests wanting lawn or river access | More private grounds and views |
| Travelers seeking proximity to River Lodge facilities | Access to River Lodge common areas |
Best room for groups or longer stays: Suite (2 Queen Beds and 1 Double Sofa Bed)
Suites provide separate sleeping areas and a living space, useful for families wanting a bit more room or small groups traveling together. The Suite layout includes sleeping space for several people and typically a sitting/dining area.
Suites often have additional in-room features such as a kitchenette or seating area, which makes grabbing a quick breakfast or keeping snacks handy easier than in a standard guest room.
- Sleeps multiple guests with 2 Queen Beds plus a Double Sofa Bed.
- Living area for spreading out, entertaining, or letting kids nap while adults use the sitting area.
- Good choice when you want more interior space without booking a vacation home.
| Best for | Why choose a Suite |
|---|---|
| Small families or groups | More beds and a separate living area |
| Longer stays | Room to store gear and prep small meals |
| Travelers who value space | More living area than a standard room |

How to choose by location: Lodge Village vs River Lodge
Lodge Village is closest to The Cove Aquatic Center, family dining, and playgrounds; it’s the practical choice if you expect to spend lots of time at the pools or with younger children. River Lodge sits separately on quieter grounds and is preferable for a low-key stay.
A resort-wide shuttle is available for getting around the property if you want to stay in one area but visit amenities elsewhere. If proximity to a particular restaurant or The Cove matters, mention it when you book.
- Pick Lodge Village for fastest access to The Cove, playgrounds, and poolside dining.
- Pick River Lodge for a quieter room and easier access to river paths and lawn areas.
- Complimentary intra-resort shuttle can bridge the two areas if needed.
| Area | Best if you want |
|---|---|
| Lodge Village | Pool time, family activities, The Cove access |
| River Lodge | Quiet evenings, lawn or river walks |
| Either | Access to resort dining, shuttle, and spa |
