The property was beautiful! The rooms were not quite what were expecting - the bathrooms feel similar to a camp cabin. They are very small and old. The provided toiletries (mini lotion/shampoo/conditioner) had been opened and used prior to our arrival. The bed was very comfortable though and the decor was very nice. Dinner at the restaurant was great, but my husband felt he had some minor* food poisoning from the pork. Overall, the experience is very fun and feels very unique. We loved how close the hotel rooms are to the restaurant/main building - very convenient and parking is too! The grounds are also stunning in the spring!

Very Beautiful place to stay. Food at the restaurant is excellent but the service is slow. Took close to 10 minutes before I was offered something to drink. But everything else is spectacular.

So cozy and tons of potential!
The RT Lodge is sooo cozy you will swear you are somewhere else. Greeted by friendly staff member who clearly loves her job! Super nice restaurant and bar! Lovely outdoor area! Quiet and safe… The Lodge has a ton of potential…and they may need to act on that to gain a repeat population. It still looks and feels like a training facility. AC is not in the rooms, so I could see summer being a bit of a challenge. Holiday decorations were minimum but ohhh so much potential to make the lodge amazing looking. Will be back in the fall!

RT Lodge is absolutely amazing! All of the staff are super friendly, courteous, and accommodating. The lodge is so cozy, with numerous fireplaces burning all throughout the morning, day, and night. The 2 living rooms to relax in had the most comfortable chairs and ambiance. The lodge restaurant is some of the best food I’ve ever had! Everything is made from scratch. Sooo good! The included breakfast was fantastic, with fresh juices, coffee, tea, homemade pastries and breads, eggs, homemade granola and yogurt, fresh fruit- you name it! The room was the perfect size for my mom and me, the bed was so comfortable and it was very quiet. The property is surrounded by the woods, so everywhere you look there is beauty. They have free evening s’mores by the outside fire pit, which was a real treat! The joy fish pond was beautiful and all the on-site walking trails were so beautiful and serene. They also have free bicycle rentals to use during your stay. The property is the perfect size- not too large, but just large enough to have your privacy. A great place to socialize or just to relax. I cannot say enough great things about this lodge!

The overall ascetics were appealing, however; the room left alot to be desired for the price. Cheap 32"tv, no refrigerator, no microwave, and paper thin walls all around us. We were eager to have breakfast the following morning as the staff mentioned multiple times about how great it was. We woke to aldente scrambled eggs, borderline burnt bacon, extemely overcooked potatos, and coffee that was more water than coffee.

A hidden gem in the woods.
Sapling wood furnishings with comfortable king bed, great shower, plus a flat screen tv. Coffee in the foyer each morning, then to the main building for a filling breakfast of scrambled eggs, bacon, toast, coffee cakes, etc. and fruit and juices. More coffee. Very friendly morning staff. Came in late for dinner after the big football game and they were able to accommodate us.

RT Lodge is a hidden gem!
The place is great. Seemingly is a remote forest but you are literally two miles off the beaten path. One large home style building with large seating areas, restaurant and great new bar area that is open to the large back patio and fire pit. Rooms are in adjacent building of similar style.

We’ve been to the RT Lodge many times while visiting family in the area. We love the quaint charm and peacefulness even though not far from town. We like all the changes but please don’t change too much. We were there for opening night of the beautiful new bar area. Melissa, the breakfast hostess is especially friendly, making us feel at home. All the staff we met are nice. Of course we love having s’mores at the fire pit. We look forward to many more visits!

We booked 2 rooms for 2 night stay. Service was phenomenal. The fire pit area location and availability hours were great. We spent time there first night. I really liked the bed and having double dressers and double closets in each room. In last night we spent hours relaxing in one the I had read previous reviews about bathroom being small and it was. But not issue for us at all.
