A clean, basic place to stay.
Pros:

The location was fine for our personal business.
PROs: The room was very clean and fairly quiet. It looks like fairly new construction from the appearance of the wood inside and the slight “fresh wood smell“ which is very pleasant. It was easily accessible up just a couple of steps to a deck entrance (versus the other rooms which were exactly at walk-in street level.) We had the king room which had a separate kitchen area. The kitchen was pretty big and had a coffee maker, microwave, hot water maker, stove. You can prepare meals easily (although it could use a few more utensils and dishes though.)

Down the road were two restaurants(a bar and a Chinese restaurant) and a bagel & bakery shop that was absolutely outstanding! We had a great breakfast there every morning. There is a gigantic refrigerator in the kitchen. (Perhaps even a little too big, but maybe that's for storing moose and deer during hunting season?)

The bed was a nice size actual "king bed" (many places give you a queen size and call it king size) a bit soft for my liking, but comfortable. The shower attachment was so modern it looked like it was out of a Star Trek officer's quarters - very intimidating at first, but easy to use and gave an excellent shower.

I would stay here again though, based on the cleanliness.

Cons:

CONS: Cheap towels, very thin, and synthetic material! Need to replace the towels with better ones. The kitchen "table" was just two tiny foldup camping tables that were unstable. Couldn't really use them for any work. There was plenty of room for a bigger, better table. There are no dressing/makeup mirrors, just a tiny portable round face mirror, which was not useful for makeup or getting dressed. That's a big inconvenience for the ladies in particular. There was an excellent space to put a full length mirror for makeup/dressing that was bare. There was very dim lighting so you can't really read after dark.

You have to ask for clean towels and room cleaning.

Used bedlinen and towels -won't return ever
Pros:

The pressure of the water in the shower.

Cons:

Extremely poor quality of towels and bed linen, no fesh /clean, seem reused from previous guests.

Room nr.5 - In the morning, great noise on the back side of the room, so big as if someone was already in our room.

Won't stay here again ever..

Pros:

Security code door lock. You don't have to keep track of keys or a key card.

Cons:

No on-site staff; unprofessional sign posted in a window for guests to attempt contact of management and maintenancepersonnel; unreliable room assignment and security code allegedly sent through this site; on-going renovation or upgrades, but no warning of this; Room was a King Deluxe, but only the size of the bed matched the description; Towels enough for 1 guest, not 2; Improper covering for access to plumbing- held in place with packing tape; Room was in need of a good once-over cleaning for dust, cob webs, any spills or stains, and an airing out. Just unprofessional and disappointing all around.

Poor customer service, gaslighting of guest concerns, dark rooms, no staff to be found!
Pros:

Pros: Game room

Cons:

No staff on site. Booked a room with an electric fireplace, anticipating a cold, rainy weekend of hiking. On night 1 of our 2-night stay, we noted a fuse was blown. Neither the stove, porch light nor outlet near stove worked. Contacted owners via text message per sign in office window. They first said "electric stove shown online isn't available in rooms" but then, "the in-room fireplaced can take 30 minutes to heat up space" (but we, of course, could not turn it on). The thermostat in each room is LOCKED (guests cannot control their own room). On a wet & rainy day, 68 F was a bit cool, and they did raise that temp remotely (but it remains out of guest control). Repeated messages ignored the issue with turning on fireplace (they kept repeating that they turned up thermostat). I again explained porch light/outlet were out. Then we were told (rude tone), "OK, I've already informed our staff to check the fuse." Nobody ever came on site to check anything. I gave up that night but sent an update the next day that issue wasn't resolved. Again, we were told "someone will be there." Nobody attends to this property! This was our second night, and more guests began arriving. Two groups actually started asking me how to get into their rooms (you are sent a pin pad code since there is no staff, but they hadn't realized). The owners use some generic messages through platform that instruct you to turn down the thermostat when you leave! In addition, a binder in the room gives an entirely different phone number to call if you have problems. That number belonged to the previous owner! The rooms are also VERY DARK (minimal lighting). On check out, I reported unresolved issues and requested a partial refund. Was told I had NOT REPORTED PROBLEMS (or would have resolved). Was told I could get 10% refund IF I GAVE A 10-STAR REVIEW! Later, they offered$75 if no review. I denied the bribes.

The game room. Firepit, location and the room itself. We'll be back monthly as we enjoy the area. Especially the Ze Wine bar, McGregors, etc

Pros:

This lodge was extremely clean, very convenient, and reasonably priced.

Cons:

In general, there was nothing that we did not like. Check-in was contactless, so there was no interaction with staff. Also, a hairdryer in the bathroom would have been great.
