Awesome !
This is an amazing little gem of a place to stay. It has a rustic flare done with class. I checked in fairly late and the front desk was very friendly and helpful. I will definitely stay here when I am in the area.

I thought it was a very old time lodge feeling which is refreshing compared to other places,staff was very helpful as well. My only complaint was not being able to adjust the thermostat to cool the room a bit more. It was cool but I tend to sleep hot and prefer it colder than it was. It's a fairly large room so perhaps a table fan or two might be helpful if needed for circulation..otherwise all was very nice.

Not a Lodge
A little miss leading on the description. It is an old bank that has been converted into a hotel. Some of the rooms do not have windows to the outside and it sits right next to a railroad track. The owners are extremely nice and helpful.

A Wonderfully Unique Lodge
Friendly staff and a unique layout. It made for a memorable experience. Being able to get my daughter a stuffed badger and beaver helped give her positive memories of our first solo trip together. The pizza was also very good, even though I over ordered and didn't have a fridge to store it in, so that was a bummer.

Hidden Gem by the River!!
The lodge is a hidden gem!!! The lodge is old and the room and bathroom are small. However, the lodge itself is very clean and welcoming. The staff were very friendly.

River view rooms are the hidden gem at this property. Service and hospitality were very good, food was exceptional and surpassed expectations! Great pizza as well. Only issue we encountered, had nothing to do with the lodge, was everything is closed on Monday & Tuesdays pretty much town wide. Great experience over all.

The lodge was clean and the staff was great. The hotel is very dated and tired. Carpet in the room was old as was the bedding. We could hear the people in the room next door talking. Our room was in the basement so no outside windows. Only a window into the inside hallway that was lit all night.
