nice, reasonably priced place to stay
This is really a nice facility. New, clean, comfortable, and easily accessible to Nelsonville and also (with an 18 min. drive) from Athens. The rooms are a little dark (they could use some extra lamps), but that's honestly our only issue. The hotel is a great value and we'll stay there again.

It was ok but probably won’t stay again.
Very nice place to stay. Not really a lodge. Bar was not open and there is nothing around for dinner options.

It's okay
As a hotel it is ok. The bed was comfortable and the shower was hot, however, the pressure left much to be desired. The sink is outside the bathroom with only a small oval mirror, so bring a separate mirror for makeup. There was a table with the coffee maker on it but there were no chairs or a work space. There was an empty pop bottle underneath one of the beds, and all of the fixtures for towels and toilet paper were all lose and threatening to fall off.

NYE date night
The Lodge itself is so beautiful! You are greeted by a cozy fire place entryway, sitting area, and bar. The bar is only open on weekends. The room was very clean and the bed and pillows were SO comfortable!! Our room just happened to be right by the employee entry door. The door is heavy and loud and we heard it slam shut all night long and early morning. Other than that, it was a nice place to stay. It is less than 5 miles from downtown Nelsonville.

Cute and comfortable
The hotel itself is absolutely beautiful. If it were summer, we’d definitely want to spend time enjoying the outside. The room had lots of character and reflected the area. There wasn’t much privacy for the bathroom because of a large gap around the door and a strobe light feature on the lamp but was a really comfortable room otherwise.
