This is my second stay at this hotel, and it was as good as the last time. The owner is very friendly and informative. Though the area is in a quiet area to begin with , try and get a room to the back side as the view and quiet is really nice Mark S.

Lodge has been nicely updated and while the rooms are small, it is more than adequate. Bathroom has been retrofitted; shower could be small for larger clients. We had no problem and the owners are very helpful!

Welcoming stay

This was a very clean, quaint, and comfortable room/facility. It was made very “personable and welcoming”, the owners were communicative, and the stay was very pleasant. I highly recommend this lodge and will stay again if in the area.

It was quaint and clean. Old school mom and pop place. Everything was tidy. The walls are thin but our neighbors were quiet for NYE. Good value.
