I’m definitely coming back. Quaint, clean and quiet. I was sad that I had to leave.

The staff made me feel like we were old friends, they were so delightful! The incredible amenities of happy hour, s’mores by the firepit, games and a sauna, were so unexpected and made me want to stay longer. They are dog lovers and the pet package was so appreciated!

One of the best places we have been to.
This family owned gem is amazing. It offers something for all ages. Owners are super friendly and helpful. They have very well behaved and trained lodge dog ‘Kai’.
It’s very well maintained rustic lodge.
