We had an amazing time from start to finish. The views were breathtaking, providing the perfect backdrop for the evening, and the entire staff was absolutely incredible—attentive, welcoming, and thoroughly professional. We have had some truly great meals in the past, but the culinary execution here completely sets a new standard. Every dish was exceptional. Thank you to the entire team for making our visit so unforgettable; we cannot wait to return.

The owners were a lovely older couple. We checked in late and they were very accommodating. The room was very clean and nice toiletries available. The breakfast at their restaurant in town was fantastic! You can use the breakfast voucher for a couple of different choices of breakfast, or you can its dollar value towards any meal of your choice, up until 3 pm. Great place to stay, would recommend!

Completely upgraded room, very clean, everything was excellent! As one review mentioned there is a train track across the highway and you can hear muffled voices in the adjacent room- but after a ski day when we sleep, we hear nothing!

The absolute best lodge in the PNW hands down. Staff are always super friendly & welcoming, And the cabins are consistently stocked with firewood and Clean fresh towels.
Their convenient store has just about everything you need incase you forget something, and the restaurant has phenomenal food & drinks. It’s always my favorite place for a weekend getaway, With better views than almost anywhere and Affordable prices, It’s impossible to beat. Can’t wait to go back!

This place is a fantastically updated older motel or appartment? Everything was done extremely well. Nice beds (ours had a secondary private bedroom with shared bath) easy parking 30 feet from the entry. Clever use of space makes the place feel larger than it is (and it is not small) perfect for a group of 5 maybe 6 if you roll out the couch. I love the fan in the private bedroom. Great white noise!!!

What a nice little hotel! The room and bed were spacious and comfortable. The room amenities were great. The breakfast was actually spectacular. It felt very safe. I did not check out the gym or pool but I wish I had.
Some of the front desk folks were more pleasant than others. My room had a view of the front parking lot, which was not great. I see that there were rooms on the other side of the hall that had beautiful views of a snowy wooded area, and I wished I had that view!

The hotel is new and very nice and clean. The breakfast was one of the best ones I've had a hotel. The lobby area is large with lots of tables and seating options. There is a nice outdoor seating area with a beautiful view of the mountains.
The only complaint is having to pay for parking. I didn't see anything on the website about it and was told when we checked in. It was not a downtown hotel; it seemed totally unnecessary. I don't like hidden fees.
