Missing lamp. The room was dark even after they brought in a replacement desk lamp. But it was convenient to have a cafe and a restaurant on the location. My husband enjoyed his ice cream.

The staff was pleasant and the location was lovely, but our room was dirty and the bathroom floor was wet due to a leaky toilet. When we reported the problem, we were handed a stack of towels. Since the bathroom floor and toilet were also dirty, my husband asked for disinfectant and cleaned it up himself. I emailed management about our experience and they never replied.

Exactly what i expected, look forward on returning again soon! The rooms where clean, beds were comfy and the staff were great! Enjoyed that the lodge has its own general store, saves you a trip from driving and also Enjoyed the live bands as well! Definitely Returning! Cons: The outdoors heaters were out of service and firepits were all off on the outdoor area to lounge at, Would of been nice if they had them all functioning! Also Theyre famous creek dinning area is closed off.
