We were there from December 10-18 and couldn't be happier. The crowds were medium (except for the 17-18th, yikes!), the weather was perfect, and the cabin was fantastic. The Christmas decorations around the place were so beautiful! Made me wish we'd brought some to fix up our cabin.
A big shout out to Kenny from Tee Time, we had reserved a 6 seater with him for the great price of $300 for the entire time. When we got there he said the cart he had for us was having problems, so he brought us two 4 seaters instead, which worked out beautifully! Gave our teenagers freedom to come and go without us sometimes without depending on the bus. Only cart issue we had was when a kid nearly hit us head on speeding around the loop. He looked about 10 and if I hadn't swerved into the grass it would have been quite a crash.
Grocery delivery from Garden Grocer was fabulous, our order was waiting in the cabin when we checked in. So nice to have that kitchen to keep water bottles, sodas, snacks, breakfast munchies and the all important ice cream bars!
The cabin was spotless and mousekeeping took great care of us. We had big stacks of towels under the sink every day and even with six of us we never ran out. Lots of extra pillows too which is something that's hard to get at some hotels. They also left us awesome towel critters every day, Mickey, elephants, and snakes!
The beds were comfy but saying the cabin sleeps six is a stretch unless most of you are small. Our nine year old slept on the couch and we put an air mattress on the other side of the Murphy bed for our 13 year old which gave us a little more room to sleep comfortably. Those beds are a little too cozy for two adults or adult sized teens to share. I'm afraid we'll have to give up the cabins after this trip cause of this, the youngest will be too big for the couch next time and I'm not sure where we'd put a second air mattress. I wish they could make the full sized bed and the Murphy bed queen sized, but there really isn't enough space. I wish they'd convert a portion of the cabins to double wides with two bedrooms and two bathrooms, we'd be customers for life.
We ate at Trail's End a couple times and it was really good. I was surprised by how small the dining area was, but it was nice that it wasn't sprawling. Food was good and service was nice.
Overall it was a magical trip and we can't wait to go back!

It's really something that stumps us Aussies. We want to do the right thing
