always enjoy returning to the lodge over the decades. The location is idyllic. I hate seeing the cutbacks that have let it decline, but the rooms themselves are neat, the beds comfortable, the bathrooms updated. The staff is all around excellent, friendly, engaging, professional. always feels like coming home.

Live on the sunny side

Loved the beautiful surroundings, view of lake, staff helpfulness, linens/amenity services of the room, however there was an unpleasant sewer odor in our room. Resort is very dog friendly. Family reunion serviceable.

Family Trip in the Cottage

The service at the lodge was excellent and the cottage was mostly fine; just old. Very outdated and rather expensive for what it was. Seemed to have some mold issues are the lights in the bedrooms, holes in the walls in the bathrooms, and the small was gross. We wouldn't stay again.
