The property was just as advertised. The property looked just like the pictures. We realized it was a less expensive place to stay so we set our expectations accordingly. We were planning on just sleeping there and maybe coffee in the morning to head out sight seeing. It was perfect for that. The beds were super comfy, the shower was excellent. Got coffee every morning at the restaurant before heading out. If you are on a budget and plan on being out and about all day this is the place. Would definitely stay here again.
The ambience was good. I observed that in my room only the towels were kept new, garbage were removed and the bed was made. The bathroom looked newly renovated but there was no cleaning of the surfaces or floors. The shower area and the bathroom sink was nasty and there was a stinky smell in the washroom. The heat wasn’t working properly.
Room was fine, but everything really bad and in need of dramatic overhaul. Worst was seeing an obviously drowned squirrel on path at rear of our room. A staff member must have seen it but did nothing until we reported it. Restaurant cannot be recommended, store products extremely limited.
This little place in the middle of nowhere is the perfect spot to disconnect and appreciate nature and beauty. The views are outstanding and the peace and quiet is all worth it
Unique location with great potential. Overpriced room. Overpriced BBQ. $60 for a steak that was half gristle..

Disliked: Amenities
It is the only show in town. So, if you have to stay here like I did, make the best of it. The bedding was clean and the mattress was firm. That's all I needed. The coffee maker was disgusting and brutal.
Would I stay here again? Yes. But keep your expectations low. I did see both a grizzly and a black bear between the lodge and the National Park. So the setting is amazing.
Absolutley disgusting property. Dirty walls with what looked like feces. White crusty stains on the pillow, cigarette burns on the blankets. Toulett didnt flushand hardly no hot water
