We didn't get the room we booked. We weren't told at check in and only discovered it when we got to our room. We were told that all the fireplace rooms were unavailable due to water damage. However, this morning at check out I was told these rooms weren't available anyway as they are being renovated. Disappointing experience. Why book these rooms if you know you are renovating them and they won't be available?

Not great, just OK. Good location but it’s more of a motel. Bathroom smelled, bathroom door was dirty, Breakfast was minimal. I’m sorry but I would choose another location next time.

Since the rooms are in many separate buildings due to the lay of the land and spread over a vast area, the parking to access the rooms without climbing the steep wooden outside steps needed to be explained better. My roommate had Macular Degeneration so I had to have her stay in the car while I carried all the luggage and hanging clothes up the stairs so I could help her up. We are in our 80's and I have neuropathy in my legs so climbing the steps was tough for me.

There was dirty socks left in our dresser. The fruit at breakfast was spoiled. The location was excellent and there was elk on the property our last day. But it’s was overall just ok. Decent beds for exhausted hikers.

Sister get-a-way Rooms were recently updated and very clean and nice. The hot water did take time to reach the room. Overall a good stay.

My room was spotlessly clean and the bed was very comfortable. Towels were exceptionally good. Plenty of hot water all the time, and no shortage of supplies in the bathroom. I have no complaints. I would stay there again.
