My room was warm & comfortable. The staff is very friendly. When I arrived into the lodge there was a nice warm fire burning. In my room the bathtub was very grimy with long black hairs in it. The rest of the room was clean. Overall, the place is enjoyable. Most of all they were very dog friendly.

DO NOT STAY HERE

The hotel was not open when we showed up for our reservation. They charged us the entire amount, even though they were not open. We are out over $500 for a stay that we could not complete, and could not cancel, because THEY WERE NOT OPEN! No one answered the phones, no one was there.

Hotel staff was rude, room was dirty, no internet or phones and no way to contact hotel staff if you needed anything. Ran out of toilet paper and had no way of getting more. Had no amenities you would expect in a hotel and was very unclean. Would have walked out if there had been any other option available within 50 miles

Old dirty room but fairly priced

Stains on the ceiling tiles from a leak. Broken toilet seat. Mold on shower curtain. Very weak wifi signal. No A/C when it was hot in the evening. It might be great as a stay for a hunting trip with the guys, but not where I should have taken my gal for a weekend trip.

It was awful. There were no towels and very little t.p.I had to go and find someone to get me some towrls and t.p. there were no amenities at all. A light bulb was missing. I got less than what i paid for. The only positve thing i can say about this place is the scenery around it.

The staff were nice but are definitely not available after 8:00 to help you. It’s in the middle of no where so there’s no cell service which would be fine except there’s no wifi because they haven’t paid their bill. The rooms are dark & pretty dirty/dusty. Sheets are definitely scratchy. They say they’ve got a hair dryer in the room but they didn’t. The area they are in is beautiful.

Dirty and overpriced

After one week of camping, our family decided to splurge and spend 220 dollars for a comfort cabin. We had to wait 30 minutes for someone to check us in, the cabin was pretty shabby and dirty but we had 4 beds and thought we could make do. We then realised there was no hot water and the shower was freezing. We asked the manager, he came to take a look and said they could not do anything. They told us we could use yhe truck stop showers which cost 25 cents/30 seconds. For this price it is scandalous.
