The staff were all very friendly and helpful. I didn’t bring my cat as I felt that the fee of $100 was excessive for this property especially compared to 4-5 star properties who charge way less, and then I arrive and there are cats everywhere. If you are allergic don’t stay here. I love cats and enjoyed it, except for the male cat spray smell in our room. When I was signing in a cat jumped up on the counter beside me and as an owner of cats that told me there’s cat on everything there. Again, I love them and so it didn’t bother me but plenty of people wouldn’t be able to stay. I thought the property was cute but it appears people are living there with their children and there was a broken down vehicle parked at our building. Inside the room, I could tell someone had cared to decorate it nicely and it was mostly clean. However, there was hair on the bathtub and the bath mat in both our rooms was horrific with stains. Not one or two but the entire mat looked filthy. We had two towels and two wash rags in each room, no hand towels and upon arrival someone was sent to our room to “plug stuff in”. The ice machine is broken. The shower in one of our rooms didn’t work so they had to come over and use ours. Overall I was a little disappointed because I thought we were paying for the room that is featured in the advertised pictures but if you look closely that is a Deluxe room only and you won’t get the little kitchenette in the other rooms.

We stayed one night. The room was clean and staff was friendly. There were some dogs barking off and on throughout the evening but I think it was from a near by house not from another room at the lodge. The barking stopped before we got to sleep and it was quiet the rest of the night. The beds were a little more firm than I like but were still fairly comfortable. The location was perfect for us as it was only 2 minutes from the activity we had planned the following morning. It was myself and my mother and we felt safe there. Overall, it was a nice place to stay and would consider it again if I ever revisit the area.

I did not feel safe at this property. There was a couple yelling and fighting in the room next to me. I also could not get my laptop connect to the internet for homework. I felt so unsafe I didn't even stay the whole night. It looks like the meth capital of the country in this town.
