Excellent value. After a day of hiking, it was great to come back to a hot shower and comfortable beds. Towels were fluffy and beds had nice soft quilts and blankets. Very spacious main room and bath.

This was a great stay convenient to lots of hiking trails and sight seeing. The lodge was everything I expected and more. Quiet area and it really felt like I transported back in time but still had upgraded amenities and technology.

I am a bit leery of small places like this, but this one far exceeded my expectations. This is not a five-star resort. This is a small roadside Lodge that is locally owned for a night of restful sleep. It was clean and felt safe. The host was wonderful. The only thing you should know if there are no restaurants close by. If you want to eat, do it in town before you arrive. This would be a perfect place to stay if you are wanting to go into Big South Fork for night sky programs
