Water warning ecoli etc, so you are limited to water from dispenser, in lounge area. In the morning, that water was nearly empty. Apparently their water source has failed two inspections since September, so check before you go. Breakfast is a very unappetizing little grab and go back left for you in room mini frig. Coffee pot in lounge area is set up be whoever wakes up first, and disagreements over how to prepare occur. Apparently no management on site in the morning. There was an organized group of youth staying or camping there, and THEY got what smelled like a delicious buffet breakfast. That was pretty frustrating to us. Finally our room was tiny, and stuffy. Window could not be opened. Fan was super noisy. We did however enjoy dinner in restaurant that evening. Staff that we met in the evening was very pleasant , but no one around in the morning, at least not for regular guests.

Location was scenic. Nice open area where you could sit and view the surrounding property. Room was clean and roomy enough. Bed was comfortable, water pressure and temp good. Continental breakfast and coffee area was solid. Only issue was the room was right next to the dining area and you could easily hear whoever was out there. There were no customers after about 9pm so not a big deal.

Average stay
We did not get the room I reserved. The air conditioning was in an awkward spot so it blew right over our faces and also didn’t work if we drew the curtains, meaning we had to choose between privacy and comfort. There was also a bright blue light in our room that was impossible to turn off. The shower was very small and there was some mold on the curtain. Overall, there seemed to be a lack of attention to detail when it came to guest comfort. Pros: The location was beautiful and there were several adorable cats around the property. The attached restaurant was quite good. For its value and location it was satisfactory but I probably won’t stay there again.

We liked a lot about the property and the room, but there were two concerns. First, the bed was cratered. You couldn’t help but roll into the middle. Made it very cramped and not a good night’s sleep. Second, the breakfast snack left for us in the fridge seemed very old. The hard boiled eggs smelled awful as soon as the fridge door was cracked.

Hotel restaurant was closed. Front desk person said they had planned on notifying all guests before arrival but didn't do so. Sign posted in room notifying that E-coli was contaminated water source and to not drink. We drove into town to get something to eat and tried to phone to cancel our stay. Phone service indicated 'service not available. We found accommodations at another hotel.

Cozy room, friendly guests, and that’s about it…
The accommodations were cozy, but the restaurant was closed, and there was no lodge employees around the next morning. The ‘included’ continental breakfast was a hard boiled egg…

Room and bed were very comfortable. Great room was nice extension for small room. Reservation was a bit confusing working around a workshop. When I arrived reception said they were closed. Showed them my Expedia res and they moved me to another location. Was just glad to have room somewhere that first night. After driving all day I was a bit disappointed to have to find food and drive some more. After a break of several days, came back for 3 nights at the lodge and that was very nice.

Choose a Yert at this place.
We stayed in 3rd floor rm...no elevator which we only want for suitcases. Bathroom off vestibule...not in room. They had no towels until asked for. No directions where to get cont'l. breakfast. No directions on how to use heater...it had remote but nothing worked. Odor as if they were using electronic air purifying...which bothered our senses. Receptionist friendly but lack of directions on room use was not good. Water dribbled from sink faucet. Water closet seat loose. Heater was beautiful contemporary fireplace like look but wouldn't shut off and lit the whole room. Couldn't sleep until unplugged...plus problems noted above.

When we arrived there was no one in the office. We called out and rang the bell but no one came. I tried to call the hotel number but there was no service. Luckily a man stopped by who helped the owners out sometimes. He finally got in touch with someone who told him how for us to unlock our room. They told him that we should have received an email with instructions but we did not.

We stayed an a Yurt which was like glamping. It was clean and comfortable. We were provided with a nice breakfast bag for the morning. Unfortunately the shower in the shared bathroom close to our yurt wasn’t working so we had to drive to another bathroom which was inconvenient. Also the yurt we were in did not have curtains which meant people next door could see in at night and we were up early in the morning.
