Upon stepping foot on to their breath taking property I was immediately blown away by the mountain and lake views and resort. The lodge it self is something out of a hallmark movie. Once you walk into the lodge you're greeted by a very friendly staff as well as beautiful views. I love the fact that they have two separate wings that are decorated as his and hers, you each get your own getting ready area as well. They even have a speak easy if you chose to stay the night! If you truly want a stress free day then this venue is the perfect place for you!
