Only one bathroom but we managed with our two teenage girls. Balcony with two rocking chairs getting the late afternoon sun after a beautiful long day hiking at the Park was idyllic, the pool, the hot tubs, roasting marshmallows and the smore kits they provide at the fire pits, great drinks at the bar, comfortable and relaxed and generous atmosphere - there are games and books for kids and grownups in the rooms, no tvs and good WiFi which is essential as there is very poor or no phone reception- comfortable beds, spacious, in mid-April it’s got a fair number of families but apparently still pretty calm compared to high season in summer - so there is a nice friendly community feeling but also plenty of privacy - we don’t want to leave!
