Spent a night at River Lodge and enjoyed the restaurant across the street and watching the sun set across the highway. Great place to use as a base for attractions in the area if you have a car.

Had I been wiser, I'd have brought my own pillow. The pillows at River Lodge were more like bags of lumps than pillows. This made it impossible to sleep very well. And if you can't sleep, no matter how nice everything else is, staying there isn't worth it.

Smelled of dog and floors were dirty. They were going to move us, but it was late and we already carried all our stuff in by the time I spoke with them. It was dark inside, so I didn’t see that the table was dirty until morning. And I wish I knew that we would have to leave the property for our “included” breakfast. It was not on-site. Not enough outlets for charging our electronics.
