Great stay. This place is more of a rustic place that is affordable. If you want fancy and modern this place may not be for you. Management is very nice and even came after the office was close to unlock a bathroom door in our room.
They also have a friendly cat that my children were allowed to come in the office and pet many times.
Come here if you enjoy a friendly staff and an affordable place.

Experience stay on the edges of the forest
Nice quiet location with cabins designed for the experience. Unfortunately the cabins and facilities need maintenance and repairs.
Cozy separated cabins and convenient location. Easy to book last minute. Staff was friendly and communicative. However, the cabin we stayed in was not clean. We have young children that we didn't want sitting or playing on the floor because it looked like it hadn't been vacuumed in months. There were spiderwebs in the windowsills and corners in every room, so we wouldn't choose to stay here again.
it was really bad overall. They charged me an extra $40 dollars for charging an electronic vehicle without my authorization or letting me know I will be charged, and the cost of charing an electronic vehicle doesn't state anywhere in lodge’s rule. This place is rude, dirty, unfriendly. It was raining & snowing and there is no way i can use Tesla mobile charger, not to mention that, they only have 110v on site. I stopped and went the Tesla Supercharging station on the same day!
Amazing experience my family love the cabin big and spacious living room kitchen and bedrooms. Very helpful staff

Cabin was spacious. Property manager lived on-site and he was friendly. Property was a little run down. We found moldy coffee grounds in coffee maker. Beds had blocks holding up the center. No extra blankets. They asked that dirty dishes were washed before checking out but provided no dish rack.
I was not given the room I wanted from the web page. I saw pictures of a room with kitchen. paid for reservations.. gave me a different room.. then charged me more money for a room with a kitchen..
