1- The Hotels.com site did not show that our Lodge room 7 was on the second floor with no elevator (I am disabled and use a walker), nor that no dogs were allowed there. But the hotel staff was very accommodating to allow our dog as an exception, even though we had to use atairs. 2 - The room was lovely, but only had 1 chair which was not comfortable. Our suggestion is to put in one comfortable chair, or two small comfortable chairs, so guests can sit and read or watch TV. 3 - The bathroom could use a towel bar, especially by the sink. 4 - The windows in the upstairs lounge / game room were very dirty. 5 - It would be nice to have one parking space for each Lodge room thst would be located outside the Lodge entrance and not down the hill by the trash bins and staff parking. 6 - We understand there was limited staff on Thanksgiving day, but we wish the main lodge room fireplace was lit longer in the afternoons and evenings of our 4 night stay, as it was a great place to sit and visit or read, but lost its ambience due to no fire. 7 - The main Lodge room was lovely and nicely decorated for the hoiidays. 8 - We appreciate the kind and friendly attention and supoort we received from all of the hotel staff. They were very helpful.

The room was clean, the staff was friendly; however the tv didn’t work for most of our stay, there was poor lighting for reading in bed, the fireplace didn’t work with the remote even after staff came to our cottage to fix it and the toilet ‘ran’ no matter how much we jiggled itt. Just as a heads-up, there are no microwave ovens in the cottages so don’t plan on warming up your Julian pie. On the flip side, this is our third stay here and the first time that it’s been…unsatisfactory. It is, I understand, under new ownership so maybe they’re still figuring things out. Also, I really missed the Wellness Shot that used to be at the front desk. Happy holidays!

The room was very clean, however there were things removed from the walls which revealed the last coat of paint (room #4) Staff was very pleasant, and their choice of music in the waiting area was excellent.

We always stay in the same cottage, which is very comfortable and pleasant but has not been kept up very well. The shutters and the bathroom faucet need attention.
