This was our second visit to Larchwood. It is a beautiful lodge, spotlessly clean and extremely well equipped. The nicest place we have ever stayed.

We loved our stay at this lodge. It was clean, nicely decorated, comfortable and had everything we could possibly need. We especially loved seeing the red squirrels and were thankful for the nuts provided so we could feed them. The decking being enclosed was great for our dog. Highly recommend the lodge! Thank you.
