My family stayed at the Lodge for an extended weekend, and it was the perfect home base for us. The location was fabulous, we loved being able to walk to Turkey and the Wolf and Commander's Palace as well as all the coffee and breakfast spots (District!) within a block. The architecture all around is absolutely beautiful, but the real highlight was the Lodge, it just feels quintessentially Southern from the moment you walk in, the grounds, courtyard and pool make it the perfect setting for indoor/outdoor relaxing and gathering and the house itself is beautifully appointed. We never really used the humongous kitchen except to hangout along the island but we appreciated having it nonetheless. Lots of space for all our family members to retreat to, and overall a very reasonable price for all the amenities and location.
