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.

Have stayed here ~5-6 times over past 8-10 years. Management & staff seem always different and increasingly incompetent. Conditions have deteriorated each succeeding year. Finally, I cannot see any reason to accept this property in the future.

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!

I have received continuous emails and texts since my stay a week ago asking for a review, so i guess i need to leave a review so that i will be left alone. The room was freezing cold when we entered, a window was left wide open. The hot water never got hot enough to shower without being fully covered in goosebumps. There were no cups to make coffee with. If you want to book a cozy room to stay in after a chilly day of fishing, this is not the place. Got really weird vibes here. Not as nice as the photos. The only upside was the convenient location. I wasnt going to even leave a review but i greatly dislike spam and being bugged for a review, so here we are.
