“My time at this lodge felt like a true escape, with deluxe rooms that offered lovely views and a surprisingly cozy atmosphere despite being near a highway. The on-site dining, particularly breakfast, was a genuine highlight, consistently impressive and varied. It's a spot that truly makes you want to linger, especially with the river's soundtrack at night and the welcoming warmth from the staff.”
