• "Such a relaxing stay!"

  01 July 2015

  "<p>We had a lovely stay at Fires Mountain Lodge. The cabin was sufficiently equipped with what we needed and the lodge is very peaceful.<br></br>Thankfully Linda told us to bring extra blankets because the cabin is very cold at night! My only improvement recommendation would be to get a heater or fireplace installed into the cabins to make it pleasant at night in winter.</p><p>We will definitely be back though! The kids loved walking around the property and seeing the guinea fowl. A generally lovely weekend at an extremely affordable price.<br></br></p><p ></br></p><p>&nbsp;</p>"

  "When we got there, the view was amazing, but the cabin inside was disappointing. The furniture was falling apart, the bed was uncomfortable. Definitely NOT what according to the pictures (as always). They did accommodate us in another unit but the it was the whole idea of "why do you always have to complain before getting what you pay for?<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"></span><div>Magda Storm</div>"
