Parking was easy and short walk to our room. Room was a bit cramped but had everything we needed, all amenities were provided. Bathroom was amply spaced, great shower and large mirrors surrounding. Room smelled very cabin-ey and was clean and welcoming.

We enjoyed our stay at Giant oaks lodge. Our room was small but it was comfortable, clean, and close to restaurants. We will definitely consider coming back. The lodge has indoor heating pool, which is something we want to try in the next visit.

Perfect in Every Way That Matters!
Not only was the room organized in such a way as to maximize every inch, but there was thought given to every inclusion, from the right amount of cups, coffee, ice, paper towels, and information about the area. The staff was VERY kind, and the amenities (the indoor pool and hot tub) were absolutely perfect. Thanks so much, we WILL be back!

Have stayed here several times and thoroughly enjoyed it. We were snowed in as we slep and the next morning worried about how to get out the steep driveway in and out of the property. The people in front made the mistake of stopping near the top and got stuck. The manager (owner?) and son rushed to their aid and worked in the snow to get them out. They instructed me (no chains) on how to do it and it worked like a charm and out we went. The room was comfortable including the beds except for the metal skirt around the bed which made noise when you moved too much. The indoor pool and spa are nice and kept up. Nice relaxing stay.
