  Better than disney

  My family has been to earthshine three times and are getting ready to leave for our fourth trip in three days. My kids like it better than Disney World.
  
  Earthshine is a place you can be very active and social or just hide out and enjoy some solitude. There are no televisions on property or phones in the room and cell phone reception is getting better and the Wifi is only on after 8pm. For my family this is WONDERFUL. We use our vacation as a total digital detox. My kid are 8 and 13 this year and never have they been bored. Earthshine is the kind of place kids can just run around explore and you don't have to worry. My kids jump out of the car and start running as soon as we are stopped. they know to come back when the dinner bell rings.
  
  The food is wonderful at Earthshine. The two cooks make everything from scratch and I do mean everything! there is homemade bread, pancakes, pies etc.
  
  The staff is one of the best parts of the stay. All staff are super engaging with adults and kids. and no request goes ignored. The staff will bend over backward to make you happy. And the staff ratio can be as high as 3:1.
  
  The rooms are neat and tidy. However if you require a room that feels sterile Earthshine is not the place for you. By the nature of the activities you will track dirt into your room.
  
  ALl activities are included in your room fee. There is no longer horseback riding. And you can do as many or as few activities as you would like. Sometimes the best part of the trip is sipping coffee on the front deck and watching the sunrise or set. There is no lack of spectacular views.
  
  Overall this is my families favorite vacation destination. We are leaving for our fourth trip in two days and we talk about all of our trips even once we are home.
