Fall birthday gathering
4 adult siblings gathered for one’s 60th bday. 1st time here and I loved it. Loved the rooms with the 2 doors and everyone gets the same view and a patio/balcony. Don’t know if it was the beds or mountain air but I slept great. Very crowded as there was a wedding on site that weekend which made the restaurant/bar service very slow and busy but I’m not gonna bash anyone for that. Could have had more than one bartender though. We ate dinner twice and breakfast buffet once and the food was very good. No fridge or microwave in room but we had coolers and had a little bday party in the room. It’s an older lodge but is updated with plenty of lighting and plugs(3 prong) so you can bring some of your own small appliances if you’re driving(fan, electric kettle….). Always had hot water in the shower. Walls a little flimsy so bring some earplugs We also had amazing weather and peak leaf season It is not a fancy 5 star place but I found it perfect for all of us

Pleasant Stay
Very relaxing and peaceful stay. Views from our balcony were spectacular.
Service was lacking, due to staffing shortage, but all the staff there were extremely pleasant and helpful.

Lovely rustic hotel with fantastic views. Unfortunately we stayed when it was heavily raining so our views were limited, but it was a gorgeous setting and the restaurant was lovely for dinner and breakfast

This is a beautiful place to stay. The rooms were huge and had a beautiful view of the small lake. Soooo relaxing. Room was very clean and beds were comfy. The accommodations are a bit rustic but very clean and comfortable. The restaurant food for breakfast and dinner was delicious. I would definitely stay here again.

The lodge overall is a nice place in a beautiful location.
Unfortunately my room had a pretty serious mold problem in the ceiling rafters. For $200 a night I expect better!
