The house was so dirty and in disrepair we probably wouldn’t return. Bedding wasn’t washed and no hand towels. Garbage dumpster was already overflowing and the floors and carpets hadn’t been swept or cleaned in a long time.
We had a wonderful stay!! It’s a nice place to host family gatherings. There are lots of things to do for both adults and kids. The dining area is big enough for all to eat at a table for meals. It has a nice big yard to play outdoor games.
its definately roomy. everyone had a room or bed. Very remote. Had troubles finding it. Thank you to Misty for guiding us in. May have to do that again in June. Thank you for your help. Bunch of girls are coming in June. Yes a lot of I want to call them lady bugs, but know they arent.

I loved The Lodge. The scenery was beautiful. My family was blown away. I have a few things that did bother me. It was not clean to the measure I was expecting. Last people trash outside in the barrel, fireplace not cleaned out, cobwebs everywhere, bugs in the windows, toilets with nasty rings in them, not vacuumed or floors cleaned just hot and miss. There was bo dishwasher detergent and 2 garbage bags. Other than the cleanliness we all absolutely loved it.

Although a 30 minute drive to the golf course, it was roomy and great to accomadate 8 of us. Lots of room and a very peaceful location. The house is old and could use some updating, but very satisfactory. We did not know there was no wifi until after we made the reservation. In the end, not a big deal.
