I had a great time. The room was amazing. The view was great. The people that worked there, it was the best part about it.All they make you feel like you're at home. They have a full bar and restaurant. They do have a gaming room if that is your thing. Close to a Dollar General, so if you forgot anything right there. If you would like to eat out, there are restaurants, close and a corner.Cafe that has an amazing breakfast

It’s a charming place to stay except that I assumed rooms would have a refrigerator which most hotels have standard these days. When I checked in the economy room didn’t have a fridge so I had to pay an additional $40 to have a room with a refrigerator because I had medication with me that required it be kept cold. I thought $40 was kind of a lot just you w a fridge

Friendly and clean!

Friendly staff and easy check in. The room we chose was just a basic room but it was clean and comfortable. We ate at dinner in the lounge the night we arrived. Food was good and the wait staff was friendly. We were surprised they also served a basic breakfast the next morning. Our only small inconvenience was temperature in the room, it was a little warm even after adjusting the temperature to the lowest setting.

This was a great property with a comfortable bed and our room had a beautiful view of the river. Quiet, good TV, excellent water pressure in shower, everything clean. It could use a few extra amenities such as a set of drawers or a clothes closet with hangers to put clothes in, or a suitcase bench. The bar, which stays open until 1 am is great addition especially when everything else around the lodge is closed, and has delicious pizza and great and friendly bartenders.
