Very unique and welcoming. I found the bed quite uncomfortable, but I was not expecting luxury, so, in balance, this was not bad. I really liked that the operator had put the heater on in our room. This kind of service is what makes a difference. My grandson loved the games room and rated the lodge as the best accommodation of our 10 trip.
