8/10 Good
"The place was clean and welcoming, however it is not worth the $200 a night cost. No breakfast offered for that price and it was just a small B flat room with a TV that didn’t get normal channels. It was a Saturday during football season and we had to watch the games via YouTube or on our iPad. Not impressed at all."

"This was a great place with a terrific restaurant at the lodge. For the price of the rooms , they were very outdated and very rustic looking. I know it's a campground/hiking area.\nBut they should either charge less for their rooms or improve the quality of the rooms and update them. I would certainly return there.It is very nice area and the staff and everyone was fantastic."
