This lodge is terrific! It’s quiet, clean, well fitted out, and literally on the water. We brought our own kayaks, and floated and fished for 4 days. The water is cold and clear; it’s also very busy this time of year. The views from our 2nd floor room were breathtaking-we saw fish, deer, eagles, beavers, and black footed ferrets. We used the charcoal grill in the back. The owner provides lighter fluid. The decks are very private, and the rooms are quiet. Generally, the lighting and air conditioning could be improved; however, this place was well worth the money. It was close enough to enjoy Hot Springs and the spillway swimming area. Thanks for a great stay Kevin!
