I stayed at the Lodge and my room was on the main floor, just two doors away from the Lobby. I could hear the people talking in the Lobby and also the people above me. Next time, I am going to stay on the top floor. Everything else was good and the staff was friendly.

clean, nice room in a pretty, quiet setting. Laundry machines were a long walk from the lodge and several driers were not working, so it took a long time to get our clothes done.
