The power went out, the toilet wasn’t working, and they had a generator to keep the food in the restaurant from spoiling, but it was so loud we couldn’t sleep. My kids and I were in a dark room for hours with no service, Wi-Fi because there was a major power outage.

My family loves staying amongst the trees. Budget friendly and very clean. Water pressure is good and beds are comfortable. Restaurant, bar, and ice cream on site. Get the house fries if you are eating breakfast. Bar area has a pool table and shuffle board which kept my family entertained while I enjoyed an ice cold beverage. Staff was very friendly. I would stay here again if in the area.

The room was new, clean and fresh. Large and size. The staff was wonderful. It looks like the property is undergoing some renovation on the outside, but overall did not interfere with her stay. Property is located on a busy road so you do hear a lot of road noises. It was conveniently located to the places we wanted to go.

A Diamond in the Ruff

I took my wife there for her Birthday. We needed to find a nice place away from the hectic city and crowds from our visit to the Boardwalk. We stayed 2 nights and this place did not disappoint. It has a little cafe, a store and a nice bar that has live bands on Friday and Saturday. We were greeted by the Hotel front desk person with big smiles and friendly personality.He recommended several places to eat and reviewed a map of the area for us. He also invited us to eat at the cafe which also delvers to the Bar on premise. This place is a Diamond in the ruff..

This lodge is in a beautiful setting! It has a very interesting historic bar and resort adjacent. The bar is open for limited hours on the weekends and often has live music. Photos of the resort in its heyday are in the lobby. It’s very close to two small mountain towns with lots of restaurants and hiking. We stayed for three enjoyable nights.
