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.

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.

Very unique property. Spacious room. Ate in classic “diner”. Peeked into spacious lounge area -separate building with fireplace fire where they had a bar/lounge. Mini market down by the rooms. Our room had a very long walk out on balcony with a small table and 2 chairs. Not sure why but this rate was less than most in the area. Fantastic!
