SUSIE ADELSON, A 39-YEAR-OLD MARKETER AND MOM:
I like to escape to the spa. It’s surprising how relaxed I can be despite being in a lodge full of excited kids. I also make a point of going to the Iron Horse gym in the morning while Hudson and Nathan are sleeping. It feels great to get my activity out of the way, and I feel energized and ready for a day with my family.
Susie’s Pro Tip: GWL will give you access to the facilities before your room is ready, and you can stick around after checking out.On our first visit, we made a couple of rookie mistakes: we only stayed one night—you need more than one night. And we didn’t get the food package—the food is great (we’ve been eating keto, and the options are plentiful, fresh and delicious). The first time we went we also didn’t invite anyone to join us—we have since visited with as many as 16 people across five families! We are looking forward to checking out the new Timber Wolf Cottages on our next visit.
I like the arcade and the bunk beds! And of course the waterslides and Lazy River. We normally go to GWL with a bunch of other families and it’s cool because the kids can go to each other’s rooms and play. I also love the story time in the lobby and meeting all the other kids—it’s awesome!
