"Friendly people in a beautiful area! The views are amazing! The lodge is not too big, and not too small... and the architecture blends in nicely with the scenery. Our balcony was nice and deep! It was great to still be able to safely enjoy that sheltered sense of being up in the woods and watch as a summer rainstorm passed through the area. "
