The lodge is attractive and with a bit more concentration on upkeep, it could be stunning. The desk person was very helpful when our room had to be transferred from the third floor to the first.
The restaurant area was spacious, atmospheric and aesthetically pleasing. The menu was just varied enough to accommodate different dietary needs, from gluten free to vegetarian. My grilled salmon-$28 was prepared perfectly, not overcooked, with a very tasty vegetable laced sauce that compensated for the lack of a carb (rice, potato, grain) My husband’s burger and onion rings-$22.00, were prepared to his liking as well, but next time we’re ordering the fish and chips that was served at a neighboring table and looked scrumptious. The Old Fashioneds were excellent, a very generous pour, and well balanced, with a luxardo cherry as an added perk, so though they were $16 each they were worth every cent. Our server was very helpful and welcoming which is almost as important as the fare, imo.
The room was not overly spacious, but it was comfortable for the two of us, and though the furnishings showed years of wear, everything was clean. We would suggest a couple small improvements, a nightlight or some dimmable light, a cover for the ice bucket, and a microwave.
The only real downside was a breakdown in communication in the online service. It sends messages and requests are not shared which made for unnecessary confusion.
