I love that everything is ready for you, from self-checkin and checkout to the homey and well-stocked communal breakfast kitchen. If you want solitude you'll find it here. Or, you can meet interesting people.

Laughing Hearts Lodge is very comfortable. The common areas are set up for family conversations or couples. There are wing back chairs in front of each bay window and ample out door seating as well. The rooms were nice and the shared bathroom is well maintained. The breakfast was cereal, bread and bagels, yogurt, hard boiled eggs, and fruit. Overall, it was a relaxing stay.
