Overall our stay was good. Ate dinner at the restaurant attached to lodge. Pizza was good. Staff very friendly, but they seemed short staffed to cover all areas. TVs in room don't work, so don't expect too much.

Lots of junk lying around the property. Rooms were clean but need updating. Toilet seat was about to fall off. On the upside, our server (Hunter Sitzes) in the restaurant took great care of us. The restaurant was out of most everything we wanted but he and his female helper made our experience enjoyable with their cheerful, upbeat selves.

It was a cheap place to stay on its last leg. The bed was broken and the mattresses were very old and dirty. The pillows were barely there. The overall property was not maintained or updated. The staff was nice and accommodating. The amenities like coffee bar, laundry facilities and WiFi were VERY limited. No coffee, only one washer and dryer that worked that everyone had to wait for. We were barely able to use our phones with the WiFi and weren’t able to use the tv at all because of the WiFi connection.

Okay
We stayed one night in one of the front rooms. The room was very large and clean. It seemed to be fairly recently remodeled with fresh paint and trim and newer carpet. We arrived late, a few minutes before 9p. Checkin was easy as our key was left on the front door. One reason we chose to stay here was because they had a bar and restaurant but unfortunately both were closed - I should have double checked the hours. It is miles to any alternatives. The beds appeared to be newer but they were not super comfortable- definitely on the hard side. Each bed only had two pillows - two more per bed would have made it much more comfortable. There was not a coffee pot in the room and the pot in the office was broken but we were able to buy a cup in the restaurant. Overall it was an okay stay - good price for the area, large and clean room, could have used a few touches to make it more comfortable.

This property is really old, and needs major renovation! The mattresses were disgusting, the carpet was smelly and in need of replacement, the ceiling had water damage, and you can hear water drip somewhere in the walls or ceiling. The bathroom was filthy. The door would not secure. I returned to my room from a long day of excursions to find my room wide open. I informed a staff member (she was lovely) however, she advised that room #7 & 8 (which we were assigned) has an issue with the locking mechanism that they couldn't fix. This situation could have been easily fixed by replacing the old damaged door, that you can see the outside from the lower portion of the door frame where it appears that it may have been kicked in once or twice. The gift shop was old, dusty, and in need of a deep clean and overhaul. The staff were helpful and nice. Another good thing about this location is that you could park directly in front of your room, which was quite helpful to load and unload your vehicle. The best plus about this property is that they had electric charging station for electric vehicles. That was fantastic! This property has the potential of being great. It needs a complete overhaul.

Never again
When we arrived at 3:20pm we waited at the office desk for 20 minutes for someone to check us in. The whole building including the restaurant was empty. We did finally get checked in. Dinner was tough. The one employee here has to go back and forth between running the bar, cooking all the food, and checking in people. Our room was disgusting. The counter and sink look like they haven't been cleaned in weeks and the toilet and tub are worse. A literal hairball is sitting on top of the drain. When I visited the front desk and asked what could be done I was told that there isn't anyone available to come clean and no alternative room. I asked for cleaner & some paper towels so I could clean it myself. It took 5 minutes to find cleaner. I offered to bring back the paper towels when we finished cleaning our own bathroom but was told for my troubles I could keep them. They actually helped since our room had no hand towels. Also no soap, no washcloths, or cups. After we cleaned the bathroom we decided to call it a night. Discovered that of the 2 double beds in our room one was missing the top sheet. We were supposed to stay here again in a few days but you might imagine our family won't do a round 2. There is a no refund policy within 7 days which is understandable but given our experience I asked if there was a manager. I was given a # for corporate. I called and was told by the answering service to send an email. The email bounced back undeliverable. Buyer beware
