Great weekend are the great river lodge
Had a good weekend at the cabins. The check in process couldn’t be any easier. It was unfortunate that the cabin was cold when we arrived but Greg did everything in his power to get the cabin heated up and ready for our group. He was gracious enough to offer us two different cabins for the inconvenience. By the time we finished dinner the place was nice and toasty. Maybe a little cold in the bedrooms but definitely manageable. Greg allowed us to keep an additional cabin at no charge so we didn’t have to move our belongings multiple times. Overall we had a good time. I’m sure we will be back.
