Delicious Breakfast!
The breakfast at the restaurant was genuinely good. I particularly enjoyed the eggs Benedict, which was perfectly poached and accompanied by a flavorful hollandaise sauce. The fresh fruits were a refreshing touch that started my day off right.

Kid-Friendly Fun
The waterpark was a huge hit with my kids! They had a blast navigating through the slides and enjoyed the splash zone designed specifically for younger children. It kept them entertained for hours, allowing me some well-deserved relaxation time.

The variety of recreational facilities made our stay enjoyable. The cabin we stayed in had excellent accessibility features that made it easy for my family member to move around comfortably. It was a relief to find such thoughtful accommodations.

Cozy and Spacious
Our lodge room was incredibly spacious and well-appointed. I loved the large windows that let in plenty of natural light, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The setup made it feel like a home away from home.

We had a fun family vacation with a lot of activities for all ages, and the facilities were eco-friendly, which we appreciated. However, our overall experience was dampened by the limited dining options and lack of shade at the RV sites. While most of the amenities were decent, they could use some improvements, especially regarding staff availability at peak times and the upkeep of certain areas.

The resort has a lot of potential with its indoor water park and family activities, but it fell short in execution. While I appreciated the friendly staff and the beautiful surroundings, the dining experience and cleanliness left much to be desired. The bikes were in poor condition, and the overall service was inconsistent, which detracted from our stay.

I had a great time at the resort during my stay with family, but there were definitely some areas that need improvement. The cottage we stayed in was comfortable and spacious, but it could have been cleaner, especially considering the luxury tag. The dining experience was a mixed bag, and communication with the restaurant could be improved. The outdoor areas and activities are fantastic, making it a great family getaway.

Our stay at the resort had its ups and downs. The indoor waterpark was a hit with the kids, and the staff made us feel welcome from the get-go. However, we faced some issues with the cleanliness of our cabin and the speed of service at the restaurant, which could be improved. Overall, it was a good value for the family, especially with some cute activities for younger kids.

Honey Creek offers beautiful surroundings and a variety of activities, making it a great choice for family fun and relaxation. The rooms were primarily clean, although I did experience some issues with housekeeping. The dining was a mixed bag, with the breakfast being a noticeable improvement, but dinner left something to be desired in terms of value. Overall, its scenic beauty and amenities make it a recommendable stay despite a few hiccups.
