A Bit hard to find. Google Maps Said you reached your Destination in the middle of the First. A additional sign at the Bridge would be nice. The concept to Run the lodge on Solar Power is cool, but we were Not aware of that while booking.

Beautiful setting ... relaxed and peaceful stay.
Forest Lodge is an older property but it is priced appropriately and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. There is plenty of kitchen storage and everything you need to prepare meals. The shared bathroom is kept clean and is in good condition. There are plenty of extra blankets available for colder notes and a big fire in the main dining / kitchen / lounge area. Hamish, the manager, is awesome - he has that great balance of being friendly but also leaving you to have your own personal peace and quiet. The location is absolutely awe inspiring - such a beautiful drive in and out and amazing views out of the big picture windows in the main common room. The whole vibe of the place is welcoming, relaxed and peaceful. I'd stay here again!
It was the first really cold snap when I stayed here. The main room had a warm fire which was awesome but the bedrooms could be very cold. I just rugged up and managed it without any issues as I had all the right gear for it. Just make sure you bring enough warm clothes and you'll be fine!

Very quiet and beautiful view out of the common/dining area.
The mattress was very soft and uncomfortable. The kitchen area wasn't so clean. The bathrooms and our room were very clean though.
