We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Lodge and couldn’t recommend it enough! Great location with stunning scenery and wildlife! We particularly enjoyed using the hot tub in the evenings with the views of the lake and the lodge was very well equipped with everything we needed. The hosts are also really friendly and helpful! We would definitely stay again, it was the perfect little getaway! ☺️
