We waited over 45 minutes to check in (and it wasn’t because they were busy). Upon finally being helped, we were informed that despite having made the reservation with a credit card online, we could only pay in cash. We were sent 4 or 5 miles down the road to an ATM to take out money for our stay. The... More

This old motel has a lot of the charm. The owner is a great old fella who takes good care of you. The room was a little dated but very clean and warm. Tv, fridge, decent bathroom and wifi! Only coffee in the morning but for $40 I really cannot expect much more. I wish the backside of the motel... More

if you are thinking about staying here DON'T prepay and DON'T provide your credit card details before you see the room. It is nothing like the website photos. We prepaid for several nights in a 2 bedroom suite, and were shown to a dirty insecure (sliding door not lockable) unit up a filthy staircase. No proper curtains. Dubious hygiene The... More

My 5 year old grandson and I spent several days at the lodge. It was a great location just up the road from Storyland away from the congestion of the towns below. The hotel was pleasant. The living room felt just like home nicely decorated with a simple continental breakfast daily. Our room was simple but clean with a nice... More

Me and my wife stayed 4 nights in the Covered Bridge Lodge. We had a great time. Our room was spotless every night we cameback from site seeing. Very relaxing. I do not know what other guests complain about. We are coming back next year for a week. Thanks for being so nice and having us as your guests. We... More

The room was way too expensive. The philosophy of the staff seems to be "spray tons of febreeze instead of cleaning". My wife ended up sleeping in the car for the entire night and my 2-year son woke up in the morning with asthma problems. In the evening I have asked to change room because of the bad smell and...

Sad to say but this place isn't run like most establishments. Please visit this location BEFORE you consider making any kind of reservation (AAA, TravelSites, or Direct). Please Please Please don't give your credit card information or sign the paper (contract) until AFTER you have seen the actual room and confirmed the price. If you ask the owner and his... More

A nice get away from the hectic everyday life. We kicked back and enjoyed the view from the balcony. We loved being by the Ellis River and viewing the fly fisherman enjoying their sport. The suite was clean and so what if the beds were double beds. We were able to cook out side by the river and enjoy the... More

I was not sure of what we were going to find after we checked in the Covered Bridge River View Lodge, due to everything we read. But I was surprised, everyone was NICE, HELPFUL. Our room was clean with a great view of the River. No bad smells at all, the only smell was from the fire place in the... More
