Room was great, staff was awesome and friendly, amenities were great. Just wished I had known it was upstairs without an elevator option. I may have sprung for a cabin instead then, but the lodge was beautiful. Temperature for the room and shower was a bit variable but I think it was because everyone was using the water at the same time. All the same, 9/10.Thanks for an excellent stay!

The place was very clean and right off the main road and close to a lot of stores. Easy check in and quite. Bed was the worst bed in the history of earth and left a day early because of it. The staff was courteous and polite.

The cabins are old and rustic. There was a lot of damage from the recent floods across the street so it was sad to see that. The room was dark and the bathroom was very small.
