"Great lodge. Didnt get a chance to go in but camped over night in the gigantic parking lot (Yes they allow RVs). Host was nice enough to leave me a pin when i asked also, its a really cool pin!"
— Joel Masters
⭐⭐⭐⭐
"We had never been here before, but got invited to the Mother's Day Brunch that they were hosting. What a pleasant local gem our family has stumbled upon. All of the food & beverage offerings were fresh, the proper temperature for the dish, & delicious! They struck a nice balance of both variety of options for folks who were trying to eat on the healthier side & those looking to indulge in celebration of the holiday. They had wonderful service, & it was very clean. Best part, the pricing. Attending this event brunch was only $20!? We have been to other events around town in that same price range, & have been less than impressed, unfortunately. This place was great, & people should definitely check it out!"
— Jessica Payne
