"Room - clean, quiet, and I got sound sleep Service - ITH was wonderful in waiting for me to check in after a long travel day on the plane, provide me a tour and pour me water when I got there. ITH has also been kind to lend me a lock for storage under my bed. I also forgot my suit when I left in the early morning in the dark and they were the ones who messaged me about it and willingly to keep it safe for me until my next return. I'm looking forward to my next stay here and longer. Location -...

6.0 out of 10, (1)
"I wish I did a little more research before booking. This lodge used to be a hostel and still seems more like a hostel than lodge. It would be perfect if I wasn’t traveling with a toddler who wants to get into everything. Location is about a five minute drive from the beach. We saw a ton of deer. It’s a little ways to the shipwreck and lighthouse. Great for trail access. Overall, if you’re traveling with small children or folks who overheat easily, maybe not the best place. If you need a base...
