The lodge is newer construction. Downtown is small but near the lodge. I liked the sauna and the gas firepit on the deck; others seemed to prefer hot tubs. All future guests should read the amenity list in order to enjoy them better.

This was our 2nd time there, and it was another wonderful experience! We stayed in a 2 bedroom condo which was very spacious and comfortable for our family of 5 and our dogs. We loved the cold plunge, sauna, hot tub, and walking into town each day. Even though it’s a small town, the restaurants are great and there are so many nice walking/biking paths.
