Beautiful area and cool historic aspect to the lodge. It’s a work in progress with the remodel. The room was super comfortable and clean, it’s all brand new. Nice TV, good desk for working and onsite store with beer/wine. Great rate foe the value - cafe was closed on Monday / Tues during my stay: I’d stay here again!

We enjoyed a large, clean, comfortable room in beautiful surroundings in an area we wanted to visit. We had never heard of Brookdale Lodge or it's history but are happy we stumbled upon it and look forward to coming back to see the restoration progress. What an incredibly interesting find.

The power went out, the toilet wasn’t working, and they had a generator to keep the food in the restaurant from spoiling, but it was so loud we couldn’t sleep. My kids and I were in a dark room for hours with no service, Wi-Fi because there was a major power outage.

My family loves staying amongst the trees. Budget friendly and very clean. Water pressure is good and beds are comfortable. Restaurant, bar, and ice cream on site. Get the house fries if you are eating breakfast. Bar area has a pool table and shuffle board which kept my family entertained while I enjoyed an ice cold beverage. Staff was very friendly. I would stay here again if in the area.
