The Country Place Resort - Home of Zoom Flume Water Park

Maplecrest

I went here with some family friends and we were really looking forward to a nice day out.  What we found instead was litter strewn about, unhappy and surly park employees who were not helpful and just not a day that was worth what we paid. 

The water features were in desperate need of paint and upkeep.  

The food was overpriced and the things that were supposed to be hot were cold.  

It was sad that we spent the day here when we could have gone elsewhere and had a better time for less money.

Dirty and not worth the money

For the price I paid to go here, I would have paid double at other places.  I went here during the 4th of July weekend.  You know how places like to Jack up their prices at this time of year.  I was priced out of other water parks and resorts, so I figured I'd give this one a try.  I am so glad I did.  My trip wasn't perfect, but it was good enough for me to come again. I'll talk about the good first, and then mention the bad.

The Good:
All inclusive.  You get the water park, your room, and restaurant quality breakfast and dinner for less than what other places charge without feeding you.  The food is decent, and so are the portions. This place has the best of both worlds.  Peace and Quiet if you need it, or fun entertainment for the kids.  The water park is very nice, and when that closes, they have things to do on the property such as an outdoor pool, a basketball hoop, ping pong, handball, shuffleboard, a little playground, and a little bounce house.  They also had great customer service.

The Bad: Poor cell service.  Since it's in the mountains, GPS and phone calls are very spotty.  You may need to switch to cellular calling in order to be able to use your phone. I got lost getting home because no GPS was available.  They do have free wifi, but it's kinda iffy.  Also, if you don't like bugs, think twice before coming here.  You're smack dab in the middle of the country, so there are all kinds of bugs everywhere.  Especially at night.  Also, they didn't clean the room every day.  We had to use the same towels (which were not much larger than hand towels) and washcloths for our entire stay.  Plus, the soap is a joke.  Just bring your own soap and towels.  You've been warned!  There are also no irons in the room.  You have to share their irons with other guests.

Despite that long list of cons, I still think the good outweighs the bad enough for me to come back again.  It's a nice getaway if you like a quaint quiet spot that also has a nice water park. It's not the fanciest place you will go to, but it's not shabby or dirty either.  Plus, the price is right!

A pretty good deal!

This place was just what we needed!  I am raising my granddaughter on my own.  I wanted to go on a vacation we could  both enjoy but where I’d also get to relax a little.  The Country Place was just that.   The hotel is attached to a great included water park with tons of rides for all ages, a wave pool and a lazy river.   The hotel also has included breakfast and dinner (the food was great with at least 6 choices a night).   Finally the hotel has tons of activities for kids and adults and amenities to enjoy on your own.   They did magic shows, they gave the guests cool things to paint, they organized games, boating adventures, kids plays, game nights, sports nights, family dances, bonfires and outdoor big screen movies.  They had counselors entertaining the kids.  As an adult you can join in or watch.  It was such a treat to have all the food and activities organized.  I could finally relax and just enjoy my granddaughter.   The hotel staff from owner to cooks to counselors were all incredibly helpful.  The rooms were spacious - perfect for a family trip.  If I wanted to d something on my own or with my granddaughter I also had tons of choices - a heated pool, a pool table, ping pong, shuffleboard (which was a blast), bocce, badminton, playgrounds, sports of all kinds including soccer, football, basketball and more.  We even got to fish on the pond.  The hotel of course provided all the equipment and we could use it whenever we wanted at no cost.   We originally came for just a few days.  We ended up staying nearly a week because we loved it so much.   We can’t wait to go back.

Great for grandparents!

I came here with my kids and it was amazing!   With the room you get Zoom Flume water park, breakfast, dinner and all the hotel activities and amenities.  The food was great.  The water park was great - not a chintzy water park but a real one with tons of rides and a lazy river and a wave pool.   Every day the hotel has activities.   One night it was a magic show, another a dance party with a dance instructor, another night it was musical chairs and other games.   The evening activity was followed by a movie on the big outdoor screen.  It was great because the kids were happy and entertained and I didn’t have to plan it!  I could participate if I wanted to or just watch.   During the day we were usually at the water park but the one afternoon we weren’t the staff did a paddle boating fishing adventure with the kids which they loved.  Again - I could participate as much or as little as I wanted.  If I wanted to hang out and relax with my kids it was easy to do.  There was suffle board, ping pong, bocce, a heated pool, a pool table, video games, playgrounds, basketball, soccer, badminton volleyball and way more we didn’t even get to.  My kids are young so we shared a room.  It was spacious with a fridge and a DVD player so that we could easily hang out in the room and relax if we wanted to.  On the porch we had our own table and chairs  to enjoy the view.  The area is beautiful and has a lot going on but frankly we had such a great time at this resort that we barely even left the grounds.  We will be back soon for sure.

Great place for kids and parents

I am a single mom of 3 young kids and vacations are both wonderful and difficult.  The Country Place was great for us.  Breakfast and dinner were included - so there went the daily meal drama.  The water park was included.  So every day the kids had a wonderful, special activity.  When we were a bit waterlogged the hotel offered tons of activities with youths to help the kids do the activities.  The activities included basketball, paddle boating on a great pond, fishing in a stocked pond (the kids got tons of fish and fished for hours with the great youth who works here), football, soccer, painting, henna tattoos, magic shows, bonfires, children’s theater productions, ping pong, shuffleboard, bocce, a great playground and baseball.  Every evening was a special event that was a delight and an outdoor big screen movie.  There were a lot of great bonfires too.  There was a heated pool for the kids and Mom to enjoy too.  We had come here intending to explore the beauty of upstate NY.   We only left the resort once in a week to go to a great old time drive-in movie.  Other than that we never left because we were having too much fun.  The rooms are better than what one would expect from a family, activity oriented resort.  They all have DVD players, fridges and room to work.  They all have porches.  They are clean, comfortable and spacious but not fancy.  Our trip was great and even relaxing for Mom because my kids were having such a great, enriching time.

Amazing hotel for single parents

came here with my family and it was amazing!  We met an old friend here and didn't expect much.  We got a wonderful adventure filled time.  We went to the great water park nearly every day.  We painted cool masks.  We got henna tattoos.  We had huge bonfires at night on the lawn.  I played shuffleboard and bocce for the first time.  I caught 6 fish!    I swam in the heated pool.  During the activities and meals we met other guests who were super nice.  We ended up hanging out with them too.  The people who worked here were super nice too.  We spent a lot of time with some of the young people who worked here.  They did activities with us, fished with us and went to the water park with us.  We had so much fun we barely made it off resort but we did finally make it to a great local drive-in movie.  That was great too.  I can't wait to come back!

Great Family Resort

Rooms are severely outdated, bugs in room, rust on sink, mirror hadn't been cleaned in awhile. No hand soap, hand towels, had to ask for that only for housekeeping to leave our room unlocked and open!
