Rodd Brudenell River Resort

The seasonal (open May through October), attractive Brudenell River Resort was built in 1991, and its open, vaguely Frank Lloyd Wright-influenced design reflects this recent vintage. This is an especially popular destination for golfers. Guests choose from among three types of lodgings. The hotel proper has about 100 well-appointed guest rooms and suites, most with a balcony or terrace looking out onto either the river or one of the resort's showpiece golf courses. The expensive, modern "gold cottages" each have two bedrooms, a Jacuzzi, a wet bar, cathedral ceilings, kitchens with dishwashers, fireplaces, decks, barbecue sets, and big-screen TVs; they can also be split in half, so you might share a cottage with another set of guests, but the halves are fully divided. Basic "country cabins" lower down by the river are budget-friendly but aging, and cluster oddly like pavilions in some long-gone world exposition. The cabins all have double beds, and only about one-third have kitchenettes. (Also, complaints about mold in these cabins persist.) In addition to the excellent golf courses -- one with a respected golf academy that offers lessons -- the resort has indoor and outdoor pools and a spa. The main dining room, on the first level of the property, is a huge place (high-backed chairs try to establish a sense of intimacy) but there's a bistro and pool bar here, as well.
