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 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.

Gave away my room and gave me a smaller room at check-in. No hot water and some of the lights didn’t work. There were dead cockroaches on the floors. The TV didn’t work and the room smelled like a skunk.

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

This property was very cute and quiet, but the property claimed to have WiFi and TV, but neither of these worked. The TVs were down in both rooms I booked. The WiFi also didn’t work which was unfortunate. Otherwise this property is in a great area and the check in check out process is simple.

Wasnt the best stay, wasnt the worst. The location is great but the room needed attention. There were socket and light switches with out covers, the light in the kitchen area was confusing to turn on and the tvs didnt have any service and i had to buy my own batteries for the tv remote.
