The stay overall was good, we enjoyed the pool and how close everything is from there. The place is really outdated and a little dark (not enough sunlight in the rooms and hallways). The staff is nice and welcoming.

Very quiet and relaxing location! The only thing that was unpleasant was that the cabin smelled smokey (as though a fire was recently burned inside), and there were noticeable spider webs in several areas around the bed and in the kitchen. Overall we still enjoyed our stay and the staff at the front desk were nice when we checked in and out.

We loved our stay and will be back! A quaint lodge with amazing staff, Natasha was wonderful and gave us a restaurant recommendation to eat some delicious pasta- a local gem, but I’ll keep the secret! 😉 💕 we will be back in September! Also, they have an a jacuzzi and pool, and they are dog friendly! (We didn’t bring our dogs, but being dog friendly is a plus!)

Hot tub did not work... Facilites are old and not updated. The room inside was good, no air conditioning (mountain lodge). Overall, it was acceptable and not expensive. Decorated in 1970s vibe. Would stay there again, close to everything.

Pros: Big, spacious room. Walking distance to The Village.
Cons: Pool was unexpectedly closed- the main reason I picked this location.
But the room had an in-room spa which was a good substitute for the kids.

The whole hotel had the same wallpaper that my mom had in our kitchen when I was in high school. I graduated in 1992. I’m pretty sure he carpet hasn’t been touched since then either. On the other hand it was interesting to visit that decade again.

The room I stayed in and a few parts of the property that I went to was very disappointing. Great idea, but the qc filter looks like it has never been changed. The jucuzzi tub don't even bother the water pressure sucks. Leave for two hours and it might be half filled.Walls and floors very dirty.
