Positive: The river Lodge was one of the best places we have ever stayed. Dani was an excellent host and very helpful. I had a bad cold actually strep throat and he was helpful in arranging for a doctor‘s visit and my husband lost a crown and he made arrangements for a dentist. Our room was quite lovely, well appointed, and the bathroom was very modern and updated. Excellent shower and extremely comfortable bed. The room actually had a toaster, coffee maker, small heater, refrigerator, etc. Our breakfast was delicious and he was willing to cook eggs or anything else that we asked for. The grounds were impeccable, with many flowers and beautiful trees. There was a comfortable sitting area as well, by a fireplace, and although we did not use it while we were there, it was available to us. He gave us a good recommendation for a restaurant which we enjoyed. This is a wonderful place to stay and we highly recommend it.
Negative: Nothing
Summary: A perfect place to stay!

Positive: We really enjoyed our stay. We especially appreciated the friendly and attentive way Mr. Daniel took care of all our needs. Mr. Daniel also pointed out the golf course just five minutes away. The Parkland Course is a must for every golfer. In addition, Mr. Daniel informed us that he can provide rental golf sets. Important for all golfers: stay one extra day to fully enjoy both the course and the lodge.
