Lodge Life

Our stay was wonderful. The staff were very friendly, rooms were no frills and a bit rustic, but very clean. Bring a map and flashlight if you go out exploring after dark as there is no cell service and the area is dimly lit. Beautiful views in the morning and great dining.

The Deluxe Room with 2 Queen Beds was lovely, high-ceilinged lodge with a comfortable bed. But the shower had low pressure and the sound insulation was poor—we could clearly hear the family next door and even ended up counting how many kids they had.
