Swimming Under Glass, Regardless of Weather

We put a glass roof over the whole pool wing on purpose. Doesn't matter if it's ninety degrees or snowing sideways outside — the water stays the same.

The Pool Deck

Three Pools Under One Roof

A

Adults-Only Lap Pool

Set apart on the upper level near the spa. Lanes are open mornings for anyone actually swimming laps; after that it settles into a quieter lounge scene.

F

Main Pool & Fireside Bar

This is where most guests end up. The bar next to it pours hot cocoa in January and something colder in July, and Whitewood Creek Grill will send food straight to your lounge chair.

K

Kids' Pool

Zero-entry, shaded, and watched by a lifeguard whenever it's open. Built shallow enough that younger kids can wander in without a fuss.

Cabanas

Ten Spots, Four of Them by the Fire

Each one fits six comfortably and comes with its own fridge, and a server checks in without you having to flag anyone down. The four fireside units have a built-in gas pit, which matters more than you'd think once the sun drops behind the ridge.

  • Standard cabana — shade, seating for six, stocked fridge
  • Fireside cabana — same, plus a gas fire pit
  • Rent by the half day or the full day
  • Ridge View and Nugget Suite guests get first pick

Before You Head Down

Towels Are Free, Cabanas Aren't Guaranteed

Grab a towel from the hut near the main pool, no charge, no counting. Lounge chairs work first-come, but if a cabana matters to your plans — especially on a weekend — call ahead or mention it at check-in so it's actually held.

Lock In a Cabana

Have it waiting the moment you walk down, instead of hoping one's open.
