So nice and relaxing! I loved the patio snd the view from the patio. We liked the restaurant and the waitress was very nice. We didn’t get to use most of the amenities as we weren’t there long enough. I hope to go back soon!

I absolutely loved my stay here! The property was clean, welcoming, and well-maintained. My room was comfortable and had everything I needed for a relaxing stay. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere made me feel right at home. Breakfast was a great bonus—fresh, convenient, and a perfect way to start the day. This location truly exceeded my expectations, and I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend

This lodge is a great place to stay to get away and relax. It is amazing that there is a creek that you can walk to right on the property. I would really recommend this property to anyone who wants to get away and recharge. I also liked that they had the kitchenette so you can use the refrigerator for your leftover food and water. We would definitely stay again.

Good, but not exceptional

I think it’s a good place, but not exceptional. I feel like exceptional places go above and beyond and really nail the finer details. This place did not. These are a few minor issues that took it down a notch for me: loose toilet seat, very wobbly kitchen table, no spare trash bags, found rodent poison just around the corner from our door (we have a small toddler so that was a bit concerning), no welcoming info or wifi instructions in the room, and the walls are paper thin (we could hear almost every word of our neighbors through the wall), very small bedroom and bed. Also, when I booked I thought I was getting an individual cabin next to the creek so feel like the booking could have more clear about what exact room/cabin we were getting because instead we got a cabin with shared walls on the far side of the creek, which made things more inconvenient. Lastly we tried to order a meal at the restaurant, but could only get voicemail despite it being dinner time. We tried calling several times, but eventually had to physically go to the restaurant to place an order. Apparently there wad only one person in the restaurant doing everything? Overall a good place, but I wouldn’t call it exceptional.

Property was well manicured and very clean. We will return but will be packing our own food next time. There was a little kitchenette in our room with a two burner cooktop, microwave, an apartment sized fridge and dishwasher. The kitchenette was also stocked with plates, cups, silverware, pots and pans. I highly recommend NOT eating at the restaurant on property. The servers were great but the food is awful. Like, awful, awful.

My boyfriend and I only stayed one night and we absolutely loved it. It was a very last minute decision and it was very very affordable. The room was so comfortable and smelled good, the bed was clean and cozy. The AC worked great. Everything was perfect! Right outside our place was a little back patio that overlooked a few other cabins and some trees. There was so much wildlife there and so much to explore just on the property! I will absolutely be coming back here again and will have to stay much longer! Heather is a treasure. She was so so kind over the phone to me before I booked a room and we talked for quite some time which really made our experience so much more memorable.
