"We really liked the lodge. We stayed for one night and had a wonderful time. The lodge is situated right next to the forest, with a path leading through it to the lake. We saw ducks and a swan on the lake. The scenery is stunning. There is a top-notch pizzeria nearby—our children loved it. It is a very quiet place to escape for quiet."
