Excellent room, great views, great hospitality in a lovely secluded spot!
A nice place where you had the possibility to cook your own meals. Breakfast was included and could have involved some more things, like boiled eggs and ham and cheese (considering most people are active/hiking in this area)
The property met our expectations as the room was exactly as it looked in the web pics. The check-in was fast and easy, the room was clean and wi-fi was great. We could park just in front of our room. Even when the lodge is close to the road, we could sleep very well, with good black out curtains.
