Reviews and Ratings
My stay at this lodge was a delightful experience overall. The cozy rooms with a jetted tub and fireplace were a real treat, but the lack of patio or natural light was a bit disappointing. The service was excellent and accommodating, making my stay even more relaxing. The location, nestled in the hills, offered peace and serenity, perfect for a much-needed getaway.
I had a wonderful stay at the lodge, enjoying the cozy fireplace ambiance in the room with a glass of wine. The kitchen was a great addition for convenience, although I missed having a patio or ample sunlight coming through the windows. The stunning view made up for it, creating a peaceful atmosphere.
This lodge offers stunning views but falls short on room comfort. The service is exceptional with various convenient amenities available. However, the dining experience leaves much to be desired. A good choice for its location but watch out for additional fees.
