Pros:

Good size room, good
fridge, microwave and coffee maker...

Cons:

The pool is closed, it's not evident in the price, I asked to move to the main building, they said that because I booked on Booking I couldn't, even with an additional ,
Then they charged almost 10 percent above the price I booked on Booking Wich shouldn't have,
under false claims.

Bene con degli sconti/offerte
Pros:

Il posto era molto carino

Cons:

la dimensione della stanza era molto ridotta e dalla pagina booking non si capisce che nei lodge ci sono molte stanze. Pensavo che avrei avuta molta più privacy. Il costo della stanza non era irrisorio e la colazione non è neanche inclusa (solo 1 caffe)

I had a friend from Australia with me and it gave him a glimpse into what the north east is like.

The historic feeling and the staff! Especially Mike @ the bar. Very friendly and welcoming plus being a masterful bartender.

Cons:

Liked everything

Worst stay I’ve experienced in upstate, 0 soundproof, 0 value for money
Pros:

Close in nature, but very confusing to check in and find the property itself. It’s located at two completely different area

Cons:

From photo it looks pretty good, however , the facilities are very old and room is extremely small in the stone cottages. The walls are so thin, in the middle of the night we got woke up twice from neighboring rooms talking, we literally can hear every words

Cute lodge, smallish room, high price, no breakfast.
Pros:

Location was great, stone lodges were really cute and stylish, one lodge contains several units (5 or 6). Comfortable bed. Smallish room, but clean. With toiletries, a fridge and a coffee maker.

Cons:

We booked the room at the beginning of the year 2026 for a certain price that was already over our budget. The price was increased a few days prior to our stay that I did not find fair. The price should stay the same as at the time of bookimg. The price was already high. And it did not even include breakfast, so not convenient.

wonderful place
Pros:

A unique and different experience if you are a lover of nature and history, in my opinion definitely 10/10 a place to disconnect from the stress of everyday life, there is a beautiful lake and a long path to walk

Cons:

Not recommended for people looking for something modern and with technology

I had a wonderful stay. Would come back
Pros:

The room at the Overlook Lodge was great. Spacious and clean.

Cons:

Very little space around the lodge to walk the dogs. Narrow road made it - to me- difficult to walk the dogs down to open spaces in the early morning and evening

Great place to stay
Pros:

Beautiful Place. Price was comparable to other hotels around. The room had everything I needed but the walls let through a little more noise than what I expected. Friendly staff.

Cons:

You have to check in at the main lodge so make sure you stop there first.
