Loved the atmosphere. When I arrived I felt welcomed And the front desk was very helpful, making me feel this way. My room was clean and it was comfortable. The swimming pool and hot tub area was also clean. The water was warm, We really enjoyed using it. The hotel was decorated with a cabin Lodge theme that I really enjoyed. Truly a beautiful hotel. I love d the old fashioned milk machine breakfast. And I also loved that they had oatmeal made, Rather than having to make your own oatmeal, each packaged individually in a plastic cup. I hate that kind of oatmeal. Breakfast was hot and ready on time each day. Steph was always available to help help with any needs!

This was a great place to stay. I took my elderly mom and she liked it too. The room was spacious and quiet. Our main problem was there was no full length mirror and only the one mirror above the bathroom sink. The breakfast was decent and slightly better than other hotel breakfasts I've had lately. I'd definitely stay here again.

A wonderfully economical, clean, comfortable, friendly hotel and staff. I’m not typically the “lodge” type but the reviews were impressive. I found the vibe welcoming and homey. We loved the large fire pit. Jenn was friendly, knowledgeable, and welcoming. It turned out to be a good choice. If you have time, the Greenbelt trail is lovely. Take a stroll.
