It’s fine as a simple lodging. It was the only one I could find that let you bring dogs. Rusty and faded fixtures, no a/c, the staff was never at the front desk or answered the phone but when I did find them they were great. Clean sheets, floors and bathroom just worn fixtures. Fine for camping and fishing or short stopovers.

We live the peaceful area. My Favorite time is spend on the porch listening to the birds. We never saw deer by the road, eating grass. There is a swing in the grass area by the office. The tree keeps it shady.

Don't expect a 5 star experience. The rooms are rustic with noisey heaters and appliances. The beds & pillows are fantastic and that's kind of the point. It's a great place to sleep and the price is very good.

Staff was friendly and helpful, room was cute and clean - but it wasn’t the room that I paid for. I paid for deluxe queen and we got the standard queen instead. (No kitchenette.) we were offered a discount, but it wasn’t the same rate the standard queen was listed at on the website. Would recommend contacting lodge directly to confirm room before you arrive to ensure you have the right thing.

Enjoyed my stay! I will definitely come back. The cabin we stayed at was perfect for my 2 kids, my mom, and I. The property had a path near the river, which we took advantage of. The property was also close to the wedding area that was on a property next to us that we were attending. There was a diner walking distance. However, that was closed for the week. Not sure if it was part of the property. The property was 2 mins from grocery store. The kitchen was had a microwave, stove, and frig. And had your basic utensils and dishware. Staff was helpful and only a text away. Parking was great too. The cabin was clean. Again, we enjoyed our stay and will be staying here again for future trips!
