The architecture of the Lodge was nostalgic and homey, and our room was quaint in styling and renovation. The second floor café area serves good food, but the smell of decaying carpet was almost overbearing. I'm giving the benefit of the doubt, being the off season, that the repairs/cleaning required was scheduled for later months, but the smell was quite potent, especially near the windows.
Overall the scenery is simply stunning. The quiet, the fresh air, and the trails nearby made our stay feel as outdoorsy as we had hoped, especially with the lull in other patrons and families. It felt as if we had the whole resort nearly to ourselves.
Disappointed that the pool was still closed/ under renovation even though it was advertised as being open when we booked, but not the worst place we've stayed by far.
