The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Cozy and Comfortable

My friend and I stayed in a lovely studio chalet with a fireplace during our getaway. The room was clean and equipped with all the necessities like a fridge and microwave. The ambiance was perfect for relaxing after a day of outdoor adventures. Everything was just as we'd hoped and the added warmth from the fireplace made it all the better.

Fun Communal Spaces

I absolutely loved the lounge area where my friends and I could hang out, play pool, and enjoy each other's company. It felt like a home away from home, and the atmosphere was perfect for creative ideas to flow. I even attended the soft opening of the new bar onsite, which was a good spot and a great addition to the hotel's offerings.

Outdoor Fire Pits

One of the highlights of my stay was the outdoor fire pits available to guests. It was an amazing experience to roast marshmallows, relax under the stars, and share stories with friends in a cozy setting. It truly added a wonderful leisure element to our stay and made our evenings nice.

I had a lovely time at Wolf Creek, especially with its pet-friendly policies and the cozy chalet we stayed in. The staff was accommodating and the indoor spa was a nice addition. On the downside, the hot water in the shower ran out quicker than we expected, and it could get pretty warm in the chalet without proper cooling. Overall, it was a great value for our stay.

My stay was quite a mix of experiences. The hotel has a cozy atmosphere with charming cottages and a relaxing indoor spa. However, I faced significant noise issues from the street, which made it hard to sleep at times. Although the pool looked inviting, I found it too cold to enjoy. Overall, it was a fun trip despite some inconveniences.
