Arrowwood Resort & Conference Center
The Arrowwood Resort & Conference Center would be known as a "stay and play and play." That's because not only does the resort have a golf course with 18 holes of championship golf, it's also home to the 38,000-square-foot Big Splash Indoor Water Park as well as a world-class spa. Challenge yourself on the Atikwa course by day with its wetlands and tall trees, and take a slow float on the water park's lazy river at night. Choose from a variety of rooms, suites and townhomes. Amenities for the resort rooms include country decor, coffeemakers, private balconies and mini-refrigerators and microwave ovens. Suites are equipped with whirlpool spas, kitchenettes and lofts for extra room.
