6/10 Okay

The property was quiet peaceful, parking and check in and out was easy. We stayed here on our Honeymoon 28 years ago and have been back several times since. However, it could use some updates especially the bed and pillows. Our room AC was not on when we got there so we had to turn it on and cool the room down which took a while since it was July. The floors seemed to be uneven and carpet was dated.

8/10 Good

Eclectic building built in the 70’s. Lots of retro knotty pine paneling, wall of mirrors and real keys. Price was reasonable, no loud guest. Would stay there again

Quaint older building , gives an easy feel and safety because of location. No strange neighborhood nearby.
Mary Lou, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The property was dated, but that added to the charm! Very cozy, mountain feel with clean rooms and very clean indoor pool and hot tub. Also had a lot of things to do in the lodge (pool table, air hockey, foosball, video games). We'll definitely return when we're in the area!
Tina, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This was a very cute and quite nice stay. There are a lot of stairs if you don’t have great mobility that may be a consideration.
Tyler & Stephanie, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Employees friendly and helpful. Our unit had a small but complete kitchen. The indoor pool and hot tub a definite plus. I'll go back.
Patterson, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Overall I'm glad we picked this hotel. The staff at the hotel were super nice! The floor in our room was a bit squeaky, but we barely heard anything from the floor above us. The pool was a very comfortable temperature and the sauna felt good. They had a heavy snow early on the day we checked in, so we were glad to have a lower level to park in!
Sophia, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

It is a very old lodge in need of updates but the staff was super friendly. Ground floor rooms were a bit musty but everything was clean with extra towels and blankets in the closet.
