We stayed at the Lodge. Let me start with the positives, room was clean and rate was really good. However, we stayed on the lower floor since there was no luggage racks or elevator. Sadly, we could hear everything through the ceiling. It sounded like they were roller skating up there. It’s so bad that I heard them unzip a bag. They desperately need to put some deadening noise barrier in ceiling and walls. My wife had an injuring on one of the trails. A wooden step was loose at one of the bridges and caused her to fall. If you’re looking for a cheap place to stay, this is it. If you’re looking for peace and quiet, better stay on upper floor but you’ll be lacking your stuff up the stairs.

We loved the cabin we stayed in! 2 bedroom, 2 baths, clean with all the pots, pans and dishes we needed in the kitchen. We enjoyed a fie in the fireplace one evening with easy access to firewood and starter at the lodge! The cave tour was fun for adults and 6 yr old child! The tour guide was great with our 6 yr old, who had many questions, answering them all with patience and a great listening ear and sense of humor! The benches at the playgound near the lodge need painting or to be replaced. Better signage where road splits between lodge and cabin roads would be helpful especially when arriving after dark. That is the only criticism I have
