Lodge has been nicely updated and while the rooms are small, it is more than adequate. Bathroom has been retrofitted; shower could be small for larger clients. We had no problem and the owners are very helpful!

Stayed one night after a long drive and I have to say it was perfect. It’s clean, quiet, modern and convenient. You also get some snacks and a water bottle which is really appreciated especially when there isn’t supermarkets around. Loved it!

Spruce Lodge lives up to its name

The new management is doing a wonderful job of making guests feel welcome. The Lodge is exactly as advertised and a very good location. There are walking trails nearby and the river flows right next to the lodge so it is a pretty sight to wake up to. We were a group of 10 in 4 rooms.
