Breakfast was good. Prices reasonable. Tours were excellent, park staff very friendly. Dinner ok. Room clean and comfortable, but we heard every move the people above us made. Everystep, every flush. Hiking was awesome, very few people were there. Overall really enjoyed our visit. Unhappy there is no recycling available. This seems important in a state park.

Room was clean. Can tell they are short staffed in the dining room. We had one waitress who was awesome but she was by herself on a non buffet day and I could tell she was helping back in the kitchen too. Everyone was very friendly.

Small slice of wilderness charm!

It’s exactly what you would expect for lodges in a state park. Room was clean, beds were comfortable and we could even have our dog with us! Service was good and staff was friendly. Beautiful setting. Deer everywhere along what use to be the golf course. A great 2 mile walk….we probably saw 20 deer!
