The lodge is amazing. The scenery was beautiful. The employees were very friendly. Breakfast was overpriced and not that good. When we got to our room the heat had not been turned on and it was freezing. The bathroom has no heat and was absolutely freezing the second that you turned off the shower. Not enough towels.

The rooms were fine- one of the beds the mattress slopes and needs replaced. We went to the dining room for breakfast at 9am. Buffet was only option- $16 per person. It needed replenished and the food was cold. The coffee wasn't very good either. My brother said he got better food in the mess hall in Iraq! Very disappointing. The area is beautiful and we enjoyed our stay for the most part- just the dining room. We ate the rest of our meals in Helen and Cleveland.
