Getaway from Technology
The room was clean yet very outdated. The toom had a fireplace with free fire wood. This is a great way to get away from technology and enjoy the outdoors. This place makes families interact with each other.

Motel not worth the price
Pretty much a motel experience. Lodge and “conference center” had no warmth or ambience. Felt like a day care for kids, though I have raised children. Not what we were expecting.

A bit run down but great location. I was frustrated that coffee maker was listed as an amenity but none existed, there was an electric kettle which is not a coffee maker. Considering that the coffee bar was not open till 8 am and staffed by only one person, this was a disappointment and inconvenience

Exceptional experience at quality accommodations. Staff show pride in their upkeep of the property and are more than willing to provide information to get you situated and point you in the right direction of local attractions. After a long drive really appreciated the convenience of quality dining options. Wonderful time!

Small space heater, if cold temperatures very problematic. Fireplace is for ambiance only, no good for heat and very smoky. Don’t expect much WiFi so print out anything you need

These cabins are so cute and perfect for getting off the grid for a while. There’s no WiFi in the cabins, but the facility does have free internet at their centrally located conference center. The cabins themselves are spacious, located in a scenic area of the forest, and just a few minutes walk away from different hiking trails (beginner, intermediate, and advanced). If you have dietary restrictions (eg vegan, dairy free, allergies, etc) you won’t be able to eat much at the lodge restaurant, but there are plenty of allergy/vegan friendly places just down the road (no need to leave the mountain). All in all, a wonderful trip and stay!

Magical atmosphere brought to life by courteous staff who clearly have a passion for their work. Every effort was made to accommodate guests and ensure their satisfaction with the lodging. Despite the cold time of year the heaters and the fireplace ensured we were cozy and comfortable throughout the night. In the morning, several trails were just steps away from us!
