This place is always top notch ! Aside from some minor troubles with the TV and some noisy guests next door, we were very happy. That breakfast was amazing, as usual.

The first thing I’d say is how beautiful is this lodge. Upon my entrance, I could see the stone fireplace, vaulted ceilings, and numerous Christmas decorations, in addition to the always available coffee, tea, water, etc. The pool was of good size, and of interesting design. The game room above the check-in desk was a pleasant surprise with a pool table, large TV, and comfortable sitting all around. The breakfasts were more than adequate with many choices of hot and cold foods with a special treat on Christmas morning. The rooms were sufficient in size with a great view of the river, the shower/stool were in a separate little room, the towels/washcloths were of excellent fluffiness and softness, and in the other room there was a large sink, a refrigerator, and many amenities which the lodge provided. Downsize: the beds are hard (needed a topper), the bath/shower is quite narrow causing me to hit the shower curtain every time I turned around which resulted in some water getting out onto the tiled bathroom floor which made it slippery upon exiting the shower even with the bath towel on the floor. Needed: a curved curtain rod, and a longer curtain plus every shower should have a grab bar for safety. Over the tub, caulking was cracked and in need of paint. The shower head could be replaced with one that doesn’t spray so harshly. Above the sink – the upper wall covering was bubbling, caulking cracked, too much moisture in that area. Beds are hard. There's more good.....
