Getaway from Technology
The room was clean yet very outdated. The toom had a fireplace with free fire wood. This is a great way to get away from technology and enjoy the outdoors. This place makes families interact with each other.

Motel not worth the price
Pretty much a motel experience. Lodge and “conference center” had no warmth or ambience. Felt like a day care for kids, though I have raised children. Not what we were expecting.

A bit run down but great location. I was frustrated that coffee maker was listed as an amenity but none existed, there was an electric kettle which is not a coffee maker. Considering that the coffee bar was not open till 8 am and staffed by only one person, this was a disappointment and inconvenience

Exceptional experience at quality accommodations. Staff show pride in their upkeep of the property and are more than willing to provide information to get you situated and point you in the right direction of local attractions. After a long drive really appreciated the convenience of quality dining options. Wonderful time!

Small space heater, if cold temperatures very problematic. Fireplace is for ambiance only, no good for heat and very smoky. Don’t expect much WiFi so print out anything you need
