The Smokehouse Lodge and Cabins

The Smokehouse Lodge and Cabins

10/10 Excellent
"The lodge was very neat looking. The rooms are a little dated but we weren't there to spend time in the room so that wasn't an issue really. Beds were comfortable and the ac was able to make this bear sleep like a baby I mean it made it almost icebox cold. The Smoke house patio and grill around back was an interesting place to eat. The setting was very unique and the atmosphere was very low key and relaxed. On the weekends they have live performances on the stage inside. We got to listen to Dave Pahanish who has written for many AList country singers like Tim McGraw, Keith Urban and Toby Keith. Food was pretty good and fairly priced. All in all if we were ever to be visiting the area we would definitely stay again."
