We enjoyed a large, clean, comfortable room in beautiful surroundings in an area we wanted to visit. We had never heard of Brookdale Lodge or it's history but are happy we stumbled upon it and look forward to coming back to see the restoration progress. What an incredibly interesting find.

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.
