"Great stay overall. The cabin was clean, spacious, and exactly as described. The hot tub was hot and relaxing, and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook comfortably. The amenities like the pool and tennis weren’t open for the season during our stay, but everything else made up for it. The host was responsive and easy to work with. "

8/10 Good
"I would stay here again! We booked a last minute room for two week nights. Pleasant reception and attention by Baden! We bought a bottle of lovely white wine and a couple of beers from the nice selection in the lobby. Two stemmed wine glasses were in the sitting area of our room which had a large balcony with sliding screen door, chairs and a table where we could hear the "Big Creek" run. Lovely grounds, courtyard with fun toys which was kept tidy, and The Oak restaurant where we dined on our first evening, thanks to nabbing one of two later dinner reservations. We enjoyed pre-dinner drinks in the stylish comfy lounge where we had a great conversation with another couple, then were delivered to our table early for an upscale dinner with top notch service. Having said that, there were some hiccups which we informed upon checkout; concern was shown and notes were taken. 1) We did not want for hot water on demand. While the shower had nice hardware (hand held included) it was neary impossible to find a non-scalding temperature. The sink faucet handles were loose so water would not flow unless the bases were held while turning the handles. 2) Front desk replaced the battery in the electric fireplace remote, but it still would not turn on. 3) We had to dispatch several insects in the bathroom (well, we were in the forest) and 4) the structure is older, so folks walking in the room above our bed sounded as though they might fall through. Even so, I adore this lodge!"
