We had a lovely stay overall at the Lodge. The room was spacious, clean, and quite comfortable, making it an enjoyable retreat. The only downside was the breakfast experience, which fell short of expectations. Fortunately, the stunning views of the Chena River and the great service provided made up for it. It's a nice place to unwind after a day of sightseeing, but dining could definitely use some improvements.

The resort offered a lovely escape with clean and spacious cabins and a unique charm that made our stay special. The friendly staff went out of their way to assist us, and the location right beside the Chena River was a definite highlight. However, the dining options were somewhat expensive, and we felt that the restaurant could use some improvement.
