It’s a charming place to stay except that I assumed rooms would have a refrigerator which most hotels have standard these days. When I checked in the economy room didn’t have a fridge so I had to pay an additional $40 to have a room with a refrigerator because I had medication with me that required it be kept cold. I thought $40 was kind of a lot just you w a fridge

This was a great property with a comfortable bed and our room had a beautiful view of the river. Quiet, good TV, excellent water pressure in shower, everything clean. It could use a few extra amenities such as a set of drawers or a clothes closet with hangers to put clothes in, or a suitcase bench. The bar, which stays open until 1 am is great addition especially when everything else around the lodge is closed, and has delicious pizza and great and friendly bartenders.

It was clean. Staff was nice. Just a note not a complaint, the walls are paper thin, so you can hear whats going on next door like you are in the room. So nice place to sleep, not a romantic get away. Lol.

Clean and comfortable room. A variety of lodging options, from a small economy to a suite with a jacuzzi. Limited dining options but tasty food (appetizers, pizza, wine and beer). Very close to Lincoln's New Salem. Situated along the banks of a lovely river in a quaint historic town. Very friendly and accommodating staff!

Would stay again

We just needed a quiet place to stay after an out of town funeral. We needed a wheelchair accessible room and we weren’t disappointed in the accommodations! Nice extras, great staff and a nice view of the river and woods.
