Loved the balcony overlooking the stream, the sound of it was soooo relaxing. A bear came around as well during our stay. The staff was excellent and the room was satisfactory. Yes, the rooms are older, but you feel like you are in a cabin which was very cool. The warm breakfast buffet was great too.

Breakfast was good as was the service, my only suggestion is that I wish it had started at 7 instead of 8 so we could have started our adventures earlier. Otherwise I really enjoyed my stay, in fact this is the 2nd time I have staded at Brookside.

Our room was clean and i enjoyed sitting on the balcony listening to the babbling brook below. Great staff and location! Had the pleasure of seeing a bear while eating breakfast at the event center.

The shy bear that was just looking for a snack.

This is the 3rd time my husband and I stayed at Brookside, and we absolutely love this lodge! Having a room that overlooks the creek is absolutely beautiful and relaxing. Their morning breakfast is convenient and tasty. Thank you, Brookside, for a lovely room.

They have a nice outdoor pool, the sound of the creek is nice and relaxing. The breakfast was pretty good. Its only about a 10 minute walk to downtown and there is a trolly stop out front that is free to ride. While there we got to see a bear right outside!
