Room was clean and breakfast was good with typical open buffet style. There was a hidden/surprise pet fee $75 per pet informed during check-in. I would appreciate this was informed in advance. Bathroom needs more towels and water pressure needs to be checked as it seemed to be clogged. Overall i enjoyed the stay.

I stood there last month for our anniversary. It was so nice and quiet. The staff were nice. If you want to eat you have to go into town there was a restaurant across the street but it was close the day I was there. The lodge is close to the park
