A gorgeous lodge and lodging. The grounds are pristine, with several nice choices of restaurants, as well as amazing views from various sitting locations. Comfortable rooms of all sizes, all equipped with black-out curtains…a must for those endless summer nights! Friendly staff at every stop. Thumbs up!
