Our family of 6 spent three days at the Lodge in Hardy, just prior to Thanksgiving. The Lodge is very comfortable and pleasant, and also has a million dollar view of the Spring River. It was well supplied with anything a guest could want. The wall heater kept all rooms amazingly warm, in spite of 30° temperatures in the evenings. We enjoyed playing the board games (Clue, a variety of peg games like Tic Tac Toe and others) supplied by the host and enjoyed the gorgeous floral arrangement that graced the dining room table.
Accommodations were very comfortable. The only drawback was only having one bathroom, but that wasn't much of a problem, as it turned out.
I am very grateful that our family could stay in such a unique setting, rather than a sterile feeling chain motel. It was a very charming setup. And we loved being able to hear the train, as well as the river. Very pleasant and enjoyable!
