This was our favorite place during our stay. Definitely recommend and would book again!
Pros:

The room was very well-equipped, clean, and the beds were super comfortable. We had everything we needed, and it was one of the most affordable hotels in the area.

Cons:

The only challenging part was finding where our room was. We were only told to drive behind the main building but weren't told which name to look for, so we had to go back and ask again. Not a big deal though! Also, there are renovations currently going on at the hotel, but that did not interfere with our experience.

Once their renovations are complete, I'd give this place a "5 Star" rating, and stay there again.
Pros:

The bathroom fitted for disabilities; handles in bathtub, and a hand held shower head.
Beds are very comfortable.
Fridge to store some groceries.
Loved the doe and her new born fawn across from the first room we were in. :) Then we were transferred to the very room where the fawn was sleeping under my window. :) After seeing the deer, I noticed a beautiful rainbow against the mountain. See photos...

Cons:

Could use "black out" window coverings - at night there is too much light coming through the slats in the blinds, and difficult to close the drapes, could still see through the openings.
Not being given a room for us 2 handicapped persons from the get go... we were transferred to a suitable room though after requesting for one.
The restaurant had good food, but it was very cold in there.
Lots of construction machinery around for upgrades taking up space in the parking lot, and along the long building. I understand there isn't much place to park all that. But, things should be running more smoothly and look a lot better by end of summer (July they mentioned).

Pros:

Town is a wonderful place, walked everywhere. It was windy and cold during our stay but still fabulous. Lodge is in the center of town. Comfortable and clean. Nice restaurant on site. The walk to Bertha Falls is a must.

Good restaurant and pleasant stay.
Pros:

Vinnys restaurant very good. Loved watching the deer from the window.

Cons:

We were in Lake House which unfortunately had lots of adjacent building works going on. The plus was we didn’t see much work going on so no noise.

Würde ich nicht wieder buchen, jedenfalls nicht zu dem Preis
Pros:

Zentral gelegen, Parkplatz direkt vor der Tür.

Cons:

Das Kingsize-Bett stand mit einer Seite direkt an der Wand. Man musste also über das Fußende „einsteigen“. Keine Ablagemöglichkeit für ein Buch, Uhr, Telefon.
Zusätzlich gab es ein kleines Ameisenproblem, es waren bereits Fallen aufgestellt. Das Zimmer/Gebäude schien etwas in die Jahre gekommen.
