Our stay at the Bavarian Inn Lodge was absolutely fantastic. All of the staff were extremely helpful, friendly, and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The hotel room was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The entire facility was spectacular — there was something for everyone to enjoy, no matter the age. From the beautiful surroundings to the great amenities and family-friendly atmosphere, it truly exceeded our expectations. We can’t wait to visit again and highly recommend the Bavarian Inn Lodge to anyone looking for a fun, relaxing, and memorable getaway!

We went on a weekday just overnight. While they don’t allow you entrance to the water park until check-in, they do allow you to use their pools early. Overall it was wonderful. The charming village and restaurants. The lodge. The water park and pools. The arcade and activities. Something to experience at least once in your life for sure. Felt like you were in a hallmark movie.
