We have stayed in lots of B&Bs, but this lodge is the most beautiful we have ever seen. It is hard to describe how amazing it is and everything was just perfect. We loved staying here. The manager, Bobbie, was just so wonderful and we enjoyed talking with her, and her recommendations for places to visit were great. We felt at home here, and would very highly recommend staying here. We hope to return! 10 out of 10 all around!!

The biggest surprise for me with our visit was how impressive the entire experience was and didn't think it was possible it could actually be better than what the pictures showed. This is not the cheapest alternative but hands down it's the best, make friends with Bobby and follow her directions closely to have the most relaxing time of your life. Honestly, this place is heaven.

Best B&B!
An incredible place, will definitely be returning. Bobby (the owner/manager) is so sweet and attentive and went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable. Beautiful room with all the amenities and very private, individual bathroom as well. The B&B grounds are awesome and filled with nature landscapes and a river run that is sure to inspire everyone. Stay here!! Thank you Bobby!
