I had a lovely time at The Historic Crag's Lodge, with its charming aesthetic and friendly staff. However, the bedding quality left much to be desired for me and my boyfriend, as we struggled with an uncomfortable mattress. On the bright side, the lodge offered fantastic views and a cozy atmosphere with activities like make-your-own s'mores by the fireplace.

Rooms

The room we stayed in had a pull-out sofa and was a bit cramped when we opened it. There were some issues with the bed being too hard and the pillows being oversized. While the space was clean, it honestly couldn't measure up to the overall experience I hoped for.
