"The room was great. Just perfect for our family and what we needed. The outdoor pool we used was very nice--apparently there are 2 on the property PLUS an indoor one! The Game Room was pretty cool. Nice to have a bigger space to hang out in. Overall, a really good stay!"

There is not much in this town but a spot to get gas before you go into the park.

The park across Cedar Lodge was lovely with the stream flowing. We enjoyed our walk in the morning before we left for home.

2/5 - Disappointing

Verified traveler

The room looked clean, but I think they have bed bugs. I could not sleep with itching all over my body. I am sorry, but it is about changing all the bed linens not just the fitted sheet and the top sheet.
