My room was small, with only a queen bed, nightstand and a chair. TV was mounted on wall. There was no in-room coffee maker, closet/wardrobe, microwave, mini-fridge, desk or table. Despite being small the room decor was cute, bed comfortable and everything was clean.

Though we live just about a hour from the wedding we attended, we wanted somewhere to stay for the night. It is a quaint little lodge that is quiet. We loved that they offered food til 1:00 a.m. after we'd gotten in from the reception late. Just FYI the pizzas are huge and delicious! Breakfast had a good selection of grab and go items as well as others. Suited us just fine. The staff was very kind. Our room was one of the economy smaller ones facing the river, in a distance, where we saw many turkies on the waters edge. It was beside the train tracks but when a train passed by you could hardly tell. No whistle blowing and it was quite cool to see so many coal train cars. Again, a small room with a TV, bathroom and chair, but suited our needs of a cozy place to crash for the night. Comfy beds and affordable. We would stay here again.
