There is not much in this town but a spot to get gas before you go into the park.

The park across Cedar Lodge was lovely with the stream flowing. We enjoyed our walk in the morning before we left for home.

2/5 - Disappointing

Verified traveler

The room looked clean, but I think they have bed bugs. I could not sleep with itching all over my body. I am sorry, but it is about changing all the bed linens not just the fitted sheet and the top sheet.
