Cabin like rooms, very cute, clean. Convenient, restraunts, brewery walking distance. The town is cute, nice time rafting on the river.
Susan, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The power was out for most of the day, but the hotel was very accommodating. The staff was very friendly and helpful.
Erin, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

10 hour stay was worth the money.

Upon arrival, nobody at front desk, had to call a phone number for key. 9pm Upon entry to the room, zero toilet paper, tissue, etc. Had to call again. A bonus was a great A/C that kept the room comfortable the whole night. The shower was not appealing so we choose not to shower in the morning and go straight to river rafting. Location was great and price for 10 hours was just right.

Jessica, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The Lodge is adorable with quaint furnishings but does have updated air/heating too. There is a pool area and a large fire pit/BBQ area, which one could take advantage of in summer months, which I may just do!
Roxanne, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Honestly loved almost everything about this quaint little lodge- the themed rooms are so cute, the aesthetic is vintage and woodsy and I will definitely be back! My only qualm was the lack of humna-to-human communication with the actual Lodge staff.. I couldnt reach anyone via phone, email, even Facebook pre-stay. But once I got there, Bruce was so lovely and helpful and pleasant!
Sierra, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great for an over-night stay

Clean comfortable room. It had everything I needed. Brewery next door is a plus, with good food and a great selection of beers.
