Disliked: Communication
Honestly loved almost everything about this quaint little lodge- the themed rooms are so cute, the aesthetic is vintage and woodsy and I will definitely be back! My only qualm was the lack of humna-to-human communication with the actual Lodge staff.. I couldnt reach anyone via phone, email, even Facebook pre-stay. But once I got there, Bruce was so lovely and helpful and pleasant!

The Lodge is adorable with quaint furnishings but does have updated air/heating too. There is a pool area and a large fire pit/BBQ area, which one could take advantage of in summer months, which I may just do!

The room was fine, nice wood paneling, quiet, but the TV was hard to use, the internet not working and the faucet would not turn off. Mainly it was the common areas, office and grounds that were neglected and shabby. Too bad; the location was fine and the place has potential for the right manager.

Unique property. Many things not working in the unit we were assigned (and apparently the room we actually booked hasn't been properly working for months per the front desk staff). Super informal checkin checkout process. Pluses: AC worked well, close to activities, and ample room to park. Was tolerable for a one night stay and early am departure
