The rooms were simply furnished in a cabin style but were comfortable, warm and had a little table and sofa for relaxing along with a balcony overlooking the a lake. We were a bit taken by surprise that no breakfast is on offer at the Lodge bearing in mind the nearest alternative is 2 miles away, and the restaurant menu in the evening was very limited and service finished early. Having said that, with a bit of ingenuity we took the 8am bus to the delicious bakery for breakfast and sufficed with a very good burger in the restaurant in the evening. It's been a difficult season for the Lodge and we were very pleased to support them.

Beautiful location, horribly run

Rooms (main lodge) overlooked the lake and were quite spacious with clean wood floors. And now the bad: Horribly run, IMO. I believe it is run by Guest Services Inc (who also runs the cafeterias in some US gvt buildings). No breakfast, and the food offered for lunch and supper is basic fare (hamburger, BLT) horrible overpriced. They did not clean the rooms, and when we asked for a broom to clean ourselves were told they didn't know where there was one. Completely lackluster uncaring (non) hospitality. They charge $5/night for wifi and the got upset from another guest told us a place we could get free wifi (from the docked ferry boat). Hopefully when the contract is awarded again, to will go to a deferent, better contractor.

Good but not great

The location is unbeatable (right off the lake as disembark from the ferry and just a stone-throw away from hiking trails, the pastry shop, etc.) The price, with regards to bang for one's buck is decent. The acoustics are terrible. The food is (predictably) overpriced and the menu selection is (understandably) limited. Overall, a beautiful place to visit/stay, but camping is probably a much more rewarding option.
A must do!

We added a bus tour and got to see so many special places around the area. The staff at the lodge weee super helpful if we had any questions. The cabin was clean and comfy. Sitting on the porch for coffee in the morning was perfect.

The outdoor feature was great as well. The restaurant had great burgers and the staff was attentive and friendly…great experience
