8/10 Very good
This is an older Lodge; it was clean, and the staff was very helpful. I would definitely stay again if I were in the area for the price per night.

We chose to stay here with our kids because I stayed there as a kid and wanted my kids to have the same memory of the pool that I did. We loved making that memory with them. And would stay there again but next time we will be more careful of how we book. We didn’t know we would be staying in the other side of the road for our trip and would have to drive to the pool since it was icey cold. Other than that part it was a 10/10
