About Us

PICTURE IT: A ONCE-GREAT RESORT TURNED INTO A GLORIFIED TRAILER PARK. TRASH STREWN THROUGHOUT THE PREMISES, BEER CANS HANGING OFF BRANCHES, PARTIES HELD ALL HOURS OF THE DAY AND ANY DAY OF THE WEEK. NO LONGER COULD PEOPLE COME OUT TO THE BEAUTIFUL EXECUTIVE 9-HOLE GOLF COURSE, BECAUSE A DRUNKEN MAN LOOKING FOR AMUSEMENT DECIDED IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA TO DO DONUTS ON THE GOLF COURSE AND BREAK MULTIPLE SPRINKLERS. NOT THAT ANYONE WOULD WANT TO PATRONIZE THE ESTABLISHMENT WITH ALL THE DRINKING, COUNTRY MUSIC, AND TRASH THAT WAS NOW PRESENT.

JUST OUTSIDE THE SMALL TOWN OF ORION, IL THERE SITS A BEAUTIFUL 40 ACRE GOLF AND CAMPING RESORT. THIS SUMMER A NEW REALITY SHOW ‘AMERICAN RESORT’ IS SHOOTING ON THE PREMISES HILLCREST, AS A FAMILY FIGHTS TO BUILD UP WHAT THE ECONOMY HAS TORN DOWN. BUILDING ON THE FOUNDATIONS OF THE ESTABLISHED RESORT TO CREATE THE HILLCREST EVENT CENTER, WHICH IF ALL GOES WELL, WILL IN THE NOT TO DISTANT FUTURE BE ONE OF THE QUAD-CITIES PREMIER OUT DOOR EVENT CENTERS.

AMERICAN RESORT CAST

KEARSTON

Kearston usually keeps a cool head even in the most stressful of situations. However with a baby on the way she can be very hormonal bumping heads with almost all of Dan decisions. Regardless, she also has a huge part in keeping Dan grounded. Even with the chaos abounding she still keeps the resort running as smoothly as possible. With the baby being born on June 30, 2012 Kearston was at home leaving the resort shorthanded. She did make it back and her opinions of what was going on still had a great impact on operations.

DAN

DAN The operator of Hillcrest. When a decision needs to be made, everyone knows to go to Dan because no matter the problem, he can fix it. With a million and one things to stress over and many errands to run, Dan does his best to maintain a cool head, but at times, the pressure can be overwhelming. Besides being a savvy businessman, Dan tries to share his dream with the family, but from his point of view they just can’t see the dream yet. That saying something because Dan can talk his way around anything.
