The entire building needs a lot of renovations. Visible rotting wood on the exterior, my room had a musty smell and the ceiling had water stains. The sheet on the bed had a black scuff mark. Bathroom outdated by about 30 years. I ate dinner which was average. Had several drinks at the bar, Long Island Iced Teas were not made well, certainly very sour, some very weak, some overly potent. I believe the bartender was also the property manager. The only staff that was there was this individual and for the most part she was pleasant but when I commented on the Long Island being overly sour, she seemed irritated. I would pass on this place next time I’m in the area.

We were only there for one night and day…. Although everything is very outdated…. Vince and his crew were lovely. We decided to stay and have some wine and dinner and thank God we did…. Vince works very diligently in his kitchen, and the staff worked just as hard . We had a lovely dinner and some nice wine and when we weren’t sitting around the bar, laughing with the locals, we are in the family room sitting around the fireplace with the locals. This seems to be a spot where people are drawn and it’s very warm and inviting. I’m glad we spent the time there and next day we went hiking all over the place and we were on our way to our next spot. Looking forward to the next time.

Only good thing was leaving the next day. Rooms are tiny, bed is old and horrible, thought it would break. Had to sit sideways on the toilet otherwise your knees will hit the wall. The gal at check in was super rude. The room was cold had a heater mounted on the wall. The shower was either scalding or freezing no in between. There was a power strip with the tv, the heater, the light and something else plugged into it. The room never got warm. Avoid this "lodge" I will never go there again or tell my friends to use them. If I were Expedia I would drop them, ruins Expedia reputation.
The bed is a full bed.

Pros: Friendly staff, beautiful location and grounds, great price, very roomy suites, very pet friendly with low pet fees. Vince and staff's hospitality are a huge plus! Cons: No minifridge or microwave in rooms, no air conditioning in the fall (room was warm on arrival in late September and no air conditioning or fan was available in room). Opening windows helped eventually, but then I had to listen to a construction worker talking loudly at his car directly outside my window for over an hour in the late afternoon. Only option for peace and quiet was to close the windows and endure the heat. Food options are also limited here, with no breakfast available onsite, although some snack bars and coffee were provided, which were appreciated! Dinner at the Red Slate was good, but breakfast and lunch options in the Londonderry area are limited. One minor pet peeve: I realize this is a rural area, possibly with scavenging bears/raccoons nearby, but some sort of disposal container for pet waste would be appreciated. I spend an unnecessary amount of time trying to find someplace to dispose of my dog waste bag at night. The next day I was finally able to learn out how to open the dumpster in the back to dispose of my dogs' waste. Not only that, even inside the lodge there is nowhere I found to dispose of room garbage, unless I missed it.

The room smelled like wet dog pee. The fella at the desk said the smell in the room was disinfectant especially for Animal odor. He also would not refund my money saying my money went to a third-party site.

I'm not sure why this place has great reviews...

The lady who helped us check in was great! I never was able to check in or make the app work. It didn't bother me at all, but there are only steep stairs, no elevator, so people with mobility issues might have a problem. My elderly mom did it, but it was challenging. I'm still getting used to travel with mobility concerns, so this was my planning issue, not the hotels problem, just giving others a heads up. The room was stark and outdated which made it feel shabby and not so clean. The carpeting was gross and there were stains and marks all over the walls in in the bathroom and mildew in the bathroom over the shower. The ac did not work, luckily the windows opened for some air flow. There was an old tube tv which we got a kick out of. I'm not a fussy person, but I was really disappointed in the room.
