“The recent renovations have clearly elevated this lodge, particularly evident in the impressively updated bathrooms and comfortable accommodations. Its location in Red River is a definite draw, placing you right where you need to be. While some exterior work continues, the core of the guest experience, especially the rooms themselves, feels significantly improved.”
