The Skyline Lodge

The Skyline Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"The receptionist recognized that we were senior citizens and gave us a room very close to the office and parking lot. We were pleasantly surprised by the generous size of the bedroom and enjoyed the separate area for the closet and dressing. The shower was wonderful. We enjoyed a pleasant evening sitting on the large outdoor area. We were disappointed that we couldn't access YouTube and Netflix."

"This home was great for our family of 4 with two young children! We were excited to show our daughters Highlands for the first time. The house offered several outdoor experiences like canoe rides and fishing. It was in such a convenient location.
