Lodge was spotless. Welcome gifts were well received by us. Thank you. Problem with hot tub was resolved swiftly by owners. However the couches were not comfortable or relaxing - low back and extremely low armrests. The lodge was listed for 6 persons but they would not have fitted on the couches provided We had a good time together and Pine Lake was lovely.
