What's good about this place is that it is 10 minutes from the park so your can enter and exit the park at will. My definition of a lodge is a warm and comfy place, this place is more akin to a cabin in the woods. It is clean, has what your need to cook your meals and a solid roof to keep the rain off of you. Yes rain this part of the island gets more rain than the rest. It is OK for a night or two, however I do not see spending more time in the region. Aside from the park there does not appear too much else to do. Marcie who lives downstairs is great source of info and help.
