- Paint schemes
- Minor furnishings
At Copper Creek, the updates include new area rugs placed over vinyl flooring, a refreshed paint scheme, and upgraded Keurig coffee makers that accommodate both traditional pots and single-use pods.

Design Features
The pull-down beds include artistic touches, such as:
- Interior Artwork: A wilderness scene featuring the Northern Lights.
