Great staff! Quiet, given the price, did not expect a great night, but was very happy with the price, the room, the staff, and the stay. Would stay there again if I'm back in the area.

Lodge was clean, but rooms were in need of an update. The mattress was very uncomfortable & the AC was so loud it was impossible to rest.

Tired
This place is old and tired. The walls are paper thin. You can hear everything in the room next to you. The exterior needs a good cleaning too.

All employees were super friendly, views of the lake were gorgeous from the balcony, great coziness in the lobby area where we played games & chatted with friends. Keep in mind that this is an older hotel that will not have a lot of the fancy extras. Convenient to the Anderson Music Hall for a concert we attended and there is a BBQ restaurant very close by.
