"We will be back ! We loved the lodge. However, There was a roach over an inch long in the shower our 1st night there. We laughed as we gave it a swimming farewell! And 2nd, the heat/ac was rattling quite loud , but we were so tired we slept through it! It would make watching the tv a bit hard! It was nice to have the bar and restaurants available on the property. Made it pretty handy. The king bed was comfortable as were the pillows. It was located centrally for us to visit Cleveland, Helen, and other places!"
