The accommodations include lodges, spacious apartments, and cozy Scandinavian-style chalets. During your stay, you can relax in the swimming pool or whirlpool, exercise in the gymnasium, or pursue many outdoor activities such as a round of golf on the resort's nine-hole course. Coffee, lunches, or evening meals are served in the Osprey Alehouse and Kitchen
