Summary: A great time was had by all. The "all" included 4 adults, 2 boys ages 9 & 10, and 2 girls ages 11 & 12. We rented it for the indoor heated pool in the middle of March in Iowa and couldn't have asked for anything better. Kids spent countless hours in the pool which is deep enough to dive in and they were thrilled. It had a basketball hoop and 2 basketballs that they spent much time playing. In addition we took a floatable volleyball net, pool rings and pool loungers. We took food so never had to leave and the kids liked only getting out long enough to eat and then back in they went. By evening they were finally wore out so we all played some games. Charades was a huge hit and we did a lot of laughing and snacking. By the 2nd day the kids were asking when were we going to come back again. So it got a thumbs up from them as well as the adults. These were nice ages to get full use of the pool, as all could swim and loved the water. The rest of us enjoyed watching their antics with a couple of us adults getting in and playing some games with them. An added plus is the owner lives in the upper half and when you have any questions a simple text and he is quick to respond and very friendly. Would we rent again? ABSOLUTELY!!!! Looking forward to next spring break if not before.
