We stayed here the weekend of October 3rd-5th and were lodged in the cabins lining the fairway. They were well-equiped and comfortable; albeit a little musty. However, I can understand that we were at the end of the season and it was nothing that opening a few windows didn't fix. The cabin was spacious with a living room area and separate bedroom. It was large and comfortable and was an end until which provided a very nice view on two corners. The room decor could have used a little updating, but, it was clean, there were ample towels and I found it quite charming. the views were gorgeous with the leaves turning. The water did have a rusty smell to it, however, I expected this as I've stayed in an older home in Wisconsin before, I got used to the smell, and, after showering the water smell didn't linger on me so that was a plus :) The main lodge itself was beautiful. big stone fireplace and comfortable seating. Had I had more time I would have enjoyed sitting there, in front of the fire reading a book.
The gentleman who checked us in, Michael, was lovely. Very friendly and accommodating. However, when we first arrived he was not at the desk as he was attending to another guest's needs and we had to wait about 20-30 minutes for him to arrive for him to check us into our room. I have a sense that he's working with a limited staff, and again, that could have been because it was the end of the season. He was very apologetic though and went out of his way to show me where everything was, extra towels, coffee, etc.
Now for the downsides :) 1. In the cabins there is no WiFi and my cell service was spotty at best. It would have been nice to be able to connect to the internet from my room. I'm sure they are aware of this and it is something they'll address in the future. 2. Aside from their on-site Italian restaurant, there is no food there! No soda machine, no ice machine (although he did have a cooler with ice in the lobby), no where to buy just a snack or small sandwich. That would be a definite plus. Perhaps not a vending machine as it would go out of character for the lodge, but, maybe a few things behind the counter that would be able to be purchased.
Overall I very much enjoyed the lodging and I would return to stay here if I was in this area again. read more
