With over 42,500 square feet of IACC-certified flexible meeting and event space, the resort is an ideal venue for conferences, weddings, or social functions. The resort’s 386 guestrooms and suites are complemented by an all-season tented pavilion, full exercise and spa facilities, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, and the 18-hole Championship Willow Crest Golf Club.
