Beautiful view
Great location to start your trip on the Cabot Trail. The hotel is dated but is clean. Our room had a deck facing the lake that was perfect to watch the sun set. There is also laundry machines that are available 24 hrs.

Wifi was not available, however that was not mentioned at check in despite being given a wifi password. Only once I phoned the front desk about not being able to connect I was told it had been out of service for a week with no estimation of time to repair.

We were placed in the basement which they call the 1st floor ? Why? It’s in the basement and stinks of mould and musty all the time. Everything is damp I mentioned we told them up front my husband has asthma. The guy was rude and said Expedia made your reservations not you. So we were stuck with it for two nights. Also dark and dinghy.. The waitresses were very nice. The property itself is lovely. But we had no view from our basement room. Wouldn’t stay there again. We booked two months in advance.

Beautiful views of the lake, dinner in their dining room with big picture window looking at the lake, was wonderful, loved my fish stew. The service was very good in dining room and at the front desk. However the first room they put us in had the noisiest ac ever, after we had lugged our suitcases up the stairs to get there. They put us in another smaller room, and had to lug our suitcases to another floor. The room was clean, bed linens and towels were nice. One of the two double beds was quite lumpy, and my husband did not sleep well because it sagged as well. The other bed was good.

Great spot
Great spot to stay. The pool was awesome. Next time we'll stay for more than one night. When we visited the restaurant they were out of food, so we noted that we should go for dinner earlier next time.

Perfect Location for a Peaceful Rest
Very nice property with trails, pool and restaurant on sight. We used the lodge as a place to rest while we went sightseeing all day. We wished that we had booked an extra day to rest on the property because it really had a lot more to offer besides a place to sleep. This is a great location if you plan on doing the Cabot Trail.
