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.

Customer Service Was Great.
The customer service was excellent. The wi fi was slow and I was unable to work. I assumed it was standard. The next morning I overheard that it needed to be rebooted. So it may work better that what I encountered. Food was great. We were there on one of the coldest days of the year, the water in the shower would not get hot. Not even warm. But I believe this would be a wonderful place for a vacation trip, just not great for the type of work that I needed to accomplish.
