This was an outstanding place to stay. The staff was so nice and very helpful when we had questions. Dinner at the bar was expensive, but well worth it. Danielle was an amazing bartender! Ashley at the front desk was great. We highly recommend and will definitely return.

The room, location, and view were outstanding. The elevator was out so that was an inconvenience. But if you want to skip the loudness of Helen and get back to nature, this is an ideal lodge.

The rooms were quiet and the beds reasonably comfortable. However, the rooms are old. There were spider webs in our room and unfortunately, we saw a large roach during our last night. Also, this place is not handicap accessible, and the young man who checked us out seemed like it was a burden to leave the office. In retrospect, I would have payed a little more and stayed elsewhere.

The place and view is nice. I recommend to add another firepit and more things to do. Too limited dining and breakfast options. Also, the time when the food areas are open, is very limited. Also, the parking was extremely crowded. We had to park on the grass very far.
