Lovely rustic hotel with fantastic views. Unfortunately we stayed when it was heavily raining so our views were limited, but it was a gorgeous setting and the restaurant was lovely for dinner and breakfast

This is a beautiful place to stay. The rooms were huge and had a beautiful view of the small lake. Soooo relaxing. Room was very clean and beds were comfy. The accommodations are a bit rustic but very clean and comfortable. The restaurant food for breakfast and dinner was delicious. I would definitely stay here again.

The lodge overall is a nice place in a beautiful location. Unfortunately my room had a pretty serious mold problem in the ceiling rafters. For $200 a night I expect better!

Skip or bring your own breakfast.
It was all good. The evening Mill and the restaurant was very good. However, the breakfast the next morning was very poor. They offered nothing but a buffet and it was low quality. Definitely not worth the $15! Would have been better had they offered an à la cart menu even if the quality was poor.
