8.6/10 Excellent! (238 reviews)
The heated pool and jacuzzi were the best after a day of hiking. Did not utilize the sauna or exercise area. The atmosphere of the lodge was clean and comfortable. Staff were so pleasant and accommodating. Had to use stairs for the many levels. Not ADA compliant for those in need from my experience.
The room had more than expected. Full kitchen/living area and private bedroom. Would definitely book this lodge again in the future!

Staff was very helpful and friendly. Rooms were very nice and clean. Decor was very nice. We would stay here again. Only suggestions would be to add elevators and maybe more supplies to kitchen.
