Absolutely loved my stay. The balcony view from the honeymoon suite was so beautiful with the stream. The staff was extremely nice. Also, loved the wood burning fireplace in our room.
The staff at Brookside Lodge are always friendly and helpful!!! We have stayed here several times because we feel right at home. We love the fireplace, the balcony that looks at the water, and the peaceful atmosphere.
Rooms are spacious and clean. We had some minor plumbing problems and they were fixed immediately. The breakfast was great, however I wish it had been available before 8am. We were not expecting the $5 per night, per vehicle parking fee.
Friendly staff! Love having a fireplace in our room. Very convenient to everything, but far enough away from all the noise! Love the sounds of the brook at night 🤗
