After reading reviews I was nervous about how our trip was going to go. We had 2 eleferly people, my husband and I, my 3 year old daughter and 2 dogs. This was a fantastic place to stay, especially with your pets. The fees are a little extreme for the pets but i appreciate that it was clean. We went right after labor day and it was absolutelt DEAD. This was our intentions and it worked! Everything was still open and we basically had the place to ourselfs. The mountain cousters were a 20/10. We all wanted to do it back to back. I booked this through camelback but later saw there was a groupon so i recommend checking there bur even at full price it was well worth it! My biggest and really only complaint (besides the OUTRAGEOUSLY priced souvenier shop) was the distance to walk from our room to anything else. My father has a hard time walking and it was incredibly hard on him. I have an active job and found myself completely exhausted by the distance from your room to the resturaunts, shops, or waterpark. Also with having (2) dogs we had to take many trips outside and it was very far to even the elevators. Great wolf lodge has a much much better layout with everything centrally located but not much they can do about it now. After staying at camelback and staying at tgwl earlier this year, i would say both great options but camelback is better for older kids or adult trips.
