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.
