Beautiful and Friendly

This is the 5th year we've stayed to enjoy our family Christmas tradition here. The staff is absolutely amazing! Every one is super friendly, always available for any queations, suggestions, or any help they can offer. Every part of the inside and out is gorgeous and well maintained! The game room upstairs offers nice, relaxing family time as well. They offer a very nice, hot breakfast daily. And also tea, water, coffee and hot chocolate all day day long in the lobby. Sitting out back by the fire and soaking in the outdoors is wonderful and beautiful!

Amazing stay

The room was great after a long drive. I sat on the balcony for awhile and then went down to the pool with the waterfall, the hot tub was relaxing, and after a hot shower in my room , sat by the fire with some of the other guests and talked till bed time.

The Lodge was absolutely beautiful. DO NOT USE EXP3DIA!!! EXP3DIA TOOK MY MON3Y FOR THE HOTEL ROOM IMMEDIATELY ,BUT DID NOT SEND THE CONFIRMATION TO THE HOTEL until many hours later, forcing us to pay for another room just to have a place to stay for the night. I spent over an hour on hold with Exp3dia customer service, but no one ever picked up. I’ve sent requests through their online chat, and I’ve never received a response. It was an absolutely horrible experience.
