This place is very kid friendly and had a friendly staff. The breakfast was the best we had on our trip. I think it would be nice to have more decorations in each room and t needs new carpet, but the carpet was still clean.

We had a wonderful stay at Santa’s Lodge! The Santa-themed decor made the entire property feel fun and festive, and our family especially loved both pools—they were clean and a great place to relax after a day at Holiday World. One of our favorite surprises was the fishing, which was peaceful and a hit with the kids. The staff was friendly, and the lodge was very family-friendly. We’d definitely stay here again!

If you love Christmas, you'll love this lodge! It really puts you in the holiday spirit. My grandson especially loved the fishing pond, and we all had a great time in the arcade. The lodge is a bit dated, and the beds weren't very comfortable, but the friendly staff and the great breakfast helped make up for it. Overall, it's a fun place to stay, especially if you're looking for a festive atmosphere.

According to the website the had zip line and Trampling they didn't have neither one of those things but other than that it was a really good place to stay. They had one of the best breakfasts I've ever had at a hotel. The staff was really nice and amazing and helpful. They had a really good indoor and outdoor pool their hot tub was amazing. They do have a little pond that you can fish catch and release.

Going in knowing the age of the lodge I knew what to expect. It’s a lodge not a luxury hotel. But the staff was lovely and the food was hot and the pool was fun for the kids. The fat Santa restaurant nearby was a good restaurant for dinner when everyone was hungry and tired.
