Lodge was relaxing clean and staff were friendly and most helpful. The location is great secluded and quiet. Green scenery was tranquil...looking out onto the fishing lake and far distant farm land. The hot tub was fantastic...well maintained and that is all I did whilst other half did fishing. At lodge and other fishing areas around the locality. The owner Adam was friendly and welcoming...I would come again to this spot and try the other lodges. Definitely would recommend this place for couples for a get away.
