The Lodge is one of our favorite resorts. The people are so welcoming, the grounds are beautiful, and the rooms are incredible. There was no need to go off property because golf, dining, and shopping are all available. In the evening a bagpiper serenaded guests. The restaurants and bar gave us options for meals and snacks. The floral arrangements were lovely and there was a special scent in the open area that was very nice. Shuttle service was available to get to the Cloister and back or you could arrange to drive one of their cars off the property.
