Loved the lodge did need a bit of maintenance. Remote didn’t work. And the power was cut off by the power company every day from as early as 11am till midnight for 2 nights one night it did come back on at 6:30. This was not the lodges fault. The whole town was without power. But as far as the lodge itself I loved it and would recommend.

The room was fine, nice wood paneling, quiet, but the TV was hard to use, the internet not working and the faucet would not turn off. Mainly it was the common areas, office and grounds that were neglected and shabby. Too bad; the location was fine and the place has potential for the right manager.

Gave away my room and gave me a smaller room at check-in. No hot water and some of the lights didn’t work. There were dead cockroaches on the floors. The TV didn’t work and the room smelled like a skunk.

Unique property. Many things not working in the unit we were assigned (and apparently the room we actually booked hasn't been properly working for months per the front desk staff). Super informal checkin checkout process. Pluses: AC worked well, close to activities, and ample room to park. Was tolerable for a one night stay and early am departure

This property was very cute and quiet, but the property claimed to have WiFi and TV, but neither of these worked. The TVs were down in both rooms I booked. The WiFi also didn’t work which was unfortunate. Otherwise this property is in a great area and the check in check out process is simple.

Have stayed here ~5-6 times over past 8-10 years. Management & staff seem always different and increasingly incompetent. Conditions have deteriorated each succeeding year. Finally, I cannot see any reason to accept this property in the future.
