    Great location and amenities! Food was good by chef William at the breakfast buffet. Rooms were clean and updated with a more modern feel. Did not seem old and dingy at all! Gave us free waters in the fridge!

    The breakfast was the only downside of our stay - the food was cold and dried out. Everything else at the lodge was fantastic.
