We stayed in the basement room (1 queen and bunkbed) which was perfect for our family of 4 with a dog. The room opens up to a big outdoor area, so it's extremely easy to to take the dog out. There was a small fridge and microwave so we had everything we needed for a night's stay. The only thing to know is that you have to go down two flights of stairs to access the room which may be an issue for some. Would definitely stay here again!

I liked everything, the place is very cool. But the impression was spoiled by the strong smell of air fresheners in the room, but it quickly aired out

Had a nice stay here over the weekend! The staff is very friendly and quickly accommodating to any needs. The lodge is tucked away in a quiet, but not too secluded spot, so it’s very easy to find, yet is in a safe area & away from any busy traffic. The highway is just up the road, but the road noise gets muffled a bit by the forest between - very nice! I’ll stay here again for sure if I’m in the area.

Convenient and cute lodge with restaurant attached

We've stayed here a few times and it's a cute lodge and convenient for our trip. Nothing special and low frills. The past 2 times we stayed, we were in a different room. This time the room was definitely older and needed repair. The ceiling fan had layers of dust on it and the paint and sheetrock was bubbled and needed painting badly.

This lodge is close to the freeway, so you hear the trucks. and it is noisy. Running a fan and white noise on my phone helped. No air conditioner. The restaurant was great. Good food and service. The coffee bar was also excellent. The bed was not as firm as I would have liked, but we slept well. The shower was large and better than most. Very friendly staff!

The only thing I would suggest would be clear signage for the office for check-in but otherwise, it was a great place to stay for the price. It was clean, plenty of towels, and the staff was friendly. And my kids got to play in the snow right outside our room. Hope to return in the summer to enjoy the firepit and outdoor areas. The restaurant was also super convenient.
