I am a Silverleaf owner and really love the resorts!
We stayed in a Presidential at HH 2 or 3 years ago and it was lovely! Lots of room and our daughter enjoyed the privacy of lockout side.
You just need to be sure you are getting a presidential because HH has many different types of units. The lodge units, while not exactly rustic, kind of give the feel of a hunting cabin rather than a posh resort.
I have never seen a unit like Michael described. I'm guessing it was not a typical lodge unit because all the lodge units I've been in (at HH, Ozark Mountain, Fox River and Timber Creek) had adequate kitchens.
Again, it really depends on which type of unit you get.
As for activities, there are several pools, a golf course, mini-golf. There are some planned activities, primarily for children, but not as many or as fancy as the more upscale resorts. I'm sure if you called the resort they would send you out a current copy of their activities.
Another thing we love about Silverleaf is that everyone who works there is very friendly and pleasant. EXCEPT the sales people, who are like TS salespeople everywhere. Avoid them at all costs!
