In addition, the property may not be suitable for children under 12 due to its setting. We appreciate your understanding.

Very pleasant with amazing views.
Loved the room, not all the lights worked, and only the hot water valve worked on the bathroom sink, but definitely not deal breakers. Enjoyed exploring the lodge and all it had to offer, as well as trails and ponds. The observation deck was wonderful as well.
