Great little gem

Lodge is a near perfect stay! The beds are comfy, the rooms are nice. Not a deal breaker, but the internet/tv struggles. I would stay here again for sure. Eat at Prime Eats around the corner, delicious food.

Room was clean and in good repair. But it did not have a place to hang clothes and there wasn't a clothes iron. Overall the room was a good value when you consider what I got for what I paid.
