The Lodge was spotlessly clean. Situated in an elevated postion over looking the lake. Well appointed and great to have access to the hot tub and outdoor seating especially in the sunshine. On arrival we realised there were no towels. However, this was very quickly rectified by the owner. Great, quiet location. A beautiful lodge.
