The heater on the second floor was extremely disruptive. Its turbine fan produced terrifying noise starting around 2:00 a.m., intermediately, waking everyone and keeping me awake for the rest of the night. As a result, I was unable to get adequate rest, which created a safety concern due to fatigue while driving the following day.

Wonderful lodge - can be totally empty off season

I was not expecting to see not a single soul during my entire stay. If I appreciate the simple check in process, it would have been nice to get a real person to talk to get the basic infos on the way around. It was off season and I enjoyed the surrounding, the coziness of the main rooms and the quality of the prestation. But alone in the unheated building was a very awkward feeling. Think of bringing a lighter to start a fire if you’re on your own 😃

You can pay for the breakfast meal that’s served at 8 a.m. If you miss it, then you can make your own sandwich after 9 a.m. Laundry is available for free and communal areas are spacious and inviting.
