Luxe Lodge: Cabin 2 as seen on HGTV's Renovation Resort Season 1
Luxe Lodge is a chic retreat. Waterfront on the Trent River, this stylish cottage was featured on HGTVâs Renovation Resort Season 1. The cottage sleeps 8 guests in 3 bedrooms and a flex loft space. This tech forward lodge features a private hot tub and dock. Luxe Lodge is on a private road with 6 other cabins that share a beach and fire pit. Luxe Lodge is available for booking all year.
Great cottage
Property manager Ron was awesome.
Nice bonus was not having to purchase or bring firewood. Ron has a fire started nightly for the guests and keeps the grounds in great shape.
Wifi not so good
The location on the river is beautiful; the interior of the house is a lovely design. We were mostly comfortable here, and the onsite staff were helpful & attentive. Sitting on the dock for the sunrise was restorative. But we were disappointed, given the disparity b/w the higher price point (incl the cleaning fee) and the list of things that were missing, broken, excessively complicated, or just not fully clean. (Ran a gamut that included a floating desk hanging off the wall at a disconcerting angle to broken dishwasher racks to a patio umbrella that listed precariously.) There is no binder or welcome sheet in the cabin to acclimate the visitor to all the tech or to the area in any way, as one so often finds at a vacation rental. Finally, nothing about polyester sheets and pillows says 'luxe lodge' to me. Go, enjoy. Just know what it is and what it isn't, and maybe bring your own bedding. 7/10
