Wilderness Resort
Condos, villas and cabins, all with a golf course attached
About this hotel
Wilderness Resort operates at a scale few properties near Mt. Olympus can match, with rooms, condos, villas and cabins giving families a genuine choice of accommodation type for a multi-day trip. Its own pools, fitness center, bar and restaurant mean a family could realistically spend an entire rest day without leaving the resort grounds, while golf access adds an option for adults during downtime. The four-star rating and thousands of reviews reflect a resort built for repeat visits and longer stays rather than a quick overnight, with the range of room types making it as suited to a small family as to a large multi-generational group sharing a villa. Repeat guests often credit that range of room types as the reason they keep coming back year after year.
- Multiple pools
- Golf course
- Fitness center
- On-site dining
Our take
Wilderness Resort makes sense for big groups that need more than a standard room, since the choice runs from rooms to condos, villas and cabins. Its own pools, fitness center, restaurant and golf course can fill a rest day away from Mt. Olympus. I would steer families on a tight budget toward the simpler motels nearby, because a four-star resort of this size is rarely the cheapest option.
- ✓Compare condo, villa and cabin pricing carefully, since the right choice depends heavily on group size for this trip.
- ✓Use the on-site restaurant for at least one dinner to avoid driving back out after a full day at Mt. Olympus.
- ✓Book well ahead for summer weeks, since larger unit types sell out first at a resort this popular.

Why guests love itOur view for families: Wilderness Resort works best for extended family groups who want to share one address without squeezing into adjoining rooms. Villas, condos and cabins give space for longer stays, and the on-site pools mean a day off from Mt. Olympus needs no drive at all. The restaurant and bar keep evenings simple after a long park day, and the golf course gives adults who skip the slides something of their own.
