The staff at the lodge were very helpful and friendly. Restaurant and bar were incredible with great views. We stayed in one of the cabins, which was perfect for us and our pups. There was even a horse, Hank, in our backyard. He was a sweetheart!

LOVED our cabin and hoping to be in the area so we can stay again! Has a warm & cozy feeling. Well insulated and wide selection of TV channels. Comfortable beds, nice patio to enjoy the mornings, gas station next door & their restaurant has good food available for dinner. Staff went above and beyond, even before we arrived.

There is a microwave and a mini fridge, along with a hotel coffee maker. You do have access to a propane BBQ and 2 charcoal grills. There is also an area to have a fire if you desired. Ice machine was a big perk for us as we were camping prior and again after. Although I think you need to ppan ahead a bit as there was no ice bucket. Room was clean- pillows were a bit uncomfortable.

Internet/wifi access was poor. This made the online checkin impossible for me. The air conditioner would not turn on. (Or I wasn't smart enough to run it.) Beds were comfortable. Despite being unable to checkin online, we were able to access the room & enjoyed our night's sleep.

Only stayed 1 of 2 nights booked because it was very dirty there. The bathroom had stains on the sick and toilet, the shower smelled like pee and there was a stain on the comforter. I am a solo female traveler and the door didn’t have a deadbolt either. The check in process was also a bit ridiculous.
