Absolutely beautiful and clean lodge with peaceful deck. The woman who helped check us in and out, as well as gave us our to-go pancakes in the morning, was so friendly. The restaurant food was delicious. We would come back in a heart beat!

First trip out west.
The air conditioners are loud. Our frig made loud noice in tbe middle of the night. When i put my durty linen outside they did not return clean because i did not fill put some form which was not explained to us. When i called the office about not getting linen back, i was snapped at about how i needed to learn about the form. It has a great restaurant so it is very busy and noisy with traffic.

Would stay again now that I know the ropes!!!
Driving up we were a little concerned as there were no signs for check in! Signage is not very good for anything except the restaurant! Once I got someone to the desk, checkin was easy! Parking was difficult in the room area! With a truck, it was impossible to maneuver into a parking space! The room was quaint and comfortable! The AC was loud but drowned out road noise! The system of providing what was needed daily with a checklist was clever! A few suggestions: motion lights for night arrivals so you can see the step and walkway from the parking lot; phone didn’t work and we could not find ice machine! It would be nice to have a list of general info in each room! After I realized the phone didn’t work, I used my cell to call the front desk and had to search to find the number!! Again, a helpful info sheet would’ve been nice!!

Always a great stay
Fourth time staying here, and every time it gets better. Great, clean room. Friendly staff. The breakfast at the restaurant is really good, including the coffee! A resort that makes you feel like you're in the woods. I always enjoy my stay here. THANKS AGAIN!

Super cute rustic cabins!
Super cute rustic cabin. Loved the fire place and hot tub! The mattress was well worn and felt like a water buffalo slept on it. Also disappointed that the kitchenette only had styrofoam cups (didn't know anyone used those anymore)... not very environmental friendly for a place nestled in the woods.

I loved this hotel! It was cozy and clean. A major highlight was the restaurant which was very close and had reasonably priced food. It is in the middle of so much and close to the town of Keystone which is unique. The only negative is our room/cabin had a lot of road noise but not a big deal.

Our little “cabin room” was definitely a match for our visits to old mining towns and hiking. After we had a large rocking chair moved out of the room, we had adequate space for our suitcase. The small bathroom could be improved simply by adding hooks to dry towels. The restaurant was wonderful in all aspects.
