The Lodge was overall okay. I arrived a bit early 3pm and check-in wasn't until 4pm & they didn't have the room ready. Was told that it would be ready at 4. I came back at 4pm and room still wasn't ready. Staff was friendly & said that they had a similar room they could put in me. The room wasn't anything like I had reserved & paid for. Although the room was nice it wasn't what I had paid for. Also, I could not take a shower as there wasn't any hot water. I doubt I would stay here again.

Really enjoyed the stay here service was great, pool and hot tub were nice with poolside service from the on site restaurant which was also delicious. The cold water smelled a little funky but running the hot water first made it alright. Free fruit in the lobby! Cute fireplace in my room. I would absolutely stay here again located on a main road for easy travel if you have access to a car.

Property is great. Wont stay there again though bc random charges were being applied to my credit card end of each day. I prepaid but they charged me an additional $248. Saying it was just “authorized” however my bank states “processed”. The rep could not tell me what these charges were. Recommend checking your statement for erroneous charges.
