What a treasure! Great location! I know this is a work in progress, but the property is on it's way! We were so glad they kept a lot of the original features like wood paneling, windows, and stone! The additions are fun and bring it up to date. We slept so well!!! Quiet and peaceful. We look forward to staying again.

Wonderful place. It is an older lodge so keep that in mind. There are some upgrades but per the info booklet, there will be more. So you will see a few things that still need to be tweaked. So very charming, would definitely stay again.

Really great location for walking to bars & food. Guests next door one evening of our stay-the walls are kind of thin.
