“This place appeals to families who want a fun getaway with plenty to do. The mini golf, hot tub and arcade keep everyone entertained, and the free shuttle to town is a nice perk. While Oma's Cafe might not be a culinary highlight, it's convenient, and the overall experience seems to create lasting memories for returning guests.”
