Wow! Definitely worth staying here. I have been going to the Bavariann Inn for over 10 years and decided to try the house out for a new experience. House was huge and the bedrooms are tucked away upstairs and downstairs so everyone has Toms of space. 2 big living rooms & plenty of places to spread out. We had a party of 4 but I definitely see how 16 people could have fit in here

Second time at the house for our family of 15. The space is ideal for us (sleeping/cooking/eating/game playing) and we love that it’s close to the water park. One suggestion to make it better would be to have more kitchen towels, paper towel, and kitchen counter spray. It was hard to clean up without essentials.
