the state of the floors was a low point. they were noticeably unclean. i found stray hairs and crumbs throughout the lodge, suggesting a rushed cleaning job. it wasn't the end of the world, but it certainly detracted from the overall experience.

the lodge was spacious! the scenery was beautiful. it was also very handy to have a dishwasher, and a washing machine in our lodge. the kitchen equipment was also top notch! i found lots of pots and pans.
i found one of the sofas covered in stains. the coffee table was badly chipped and marked! there were quite a lot of scuffs throughout the lodge. also i found no instruction manuals provided for any of the appliances.
