We couldn’t sleep because of an intermittent noise the whole night! We thought it was the heater but after struggling to sleep the whole night we found out it was the refrigerator unit that was old and was making that sound! The keurig coffee maker had water left over from who knows when… so we chose not to use it since couldn t clean it…Also the dining choices were very limited and the only restaurant in the property food was like can food😩. Hope they improve that too. But otherwise rooms were clean😊

The vacation was simply wonderful. A quiet and beautiful place with amazing fresh air. I especially loved the furniture made from high-quality log wood. The atmosphere inside is very cozy. And the staff at the reception are amazing people.

Restaurant was horrible. Food was mediocre at best. Very high, priced and service. Very slow. We waited at least 45 minutes for the meal and there were no instructions on how to order just two big screens. Room was very stuffy with no way to control heat and air conditioning and only had one fan in the corner. But positively staff at the lodge. Very nice fireplace was great with tables to sit around and play games just the place we needed to relax after a long travel day.
