The headboard was not connected to the bed or wall, just sandwiched in between. The breakfast buffet was good. The evening dinner in the Tavern was ok, not great by any means with one bartender waiting on tables.

I brought my daughter here for a fun trip- beautiful location! However, the first night it rained, and our ceiling was leaking water onto one of the beds. I tried calling the front office but no one answered. When I went to the front desk in the morning, he was not surprised and said he hears it all the time. So, I asked for another blanket to be brought since the one for that bed had water stains. When we got back to the room later that evening, there was a thin blanket left and the stained one was still on the bed. I tried calling the front again, but eventually just gave up. Also, do not pay the $17 per person for breakfast. The food is decent at best and the setup was sorely lacking. Dirty coffee mugs, plates no where near the food, and the man didn’t know if the coffee was regular or decaf but gave it his best guess. I really wanted to like it here, but it was just alright.

The lodge is amazing. The scenery was beautiful. The employees were very friendly. Breakfast was overpriced and not that good. When we got to our room the heat had not been turned on and it was freezing. The bathroom has no heat and was absolutely freezing the second that you turned off the shower. Not enough towels.

The rooms were fine- one of the beds the mattress slopes and needs replaced. We went to the dining room for breakfast at 9am. Buffet was only option- $16 per person. It needed replenished and the food was cold. The coffee wasn't very good either. My brother said he got better food in the mess hall in Iraq! Very disappointing. The area is beautiful and we enjoyed our stay for the most part- just the dining room. We ate the rest of our meals in Helen and Cleveland.
