The lodge was clean and quiet. I was able to charge an EV while I visited - that was a huge relief while traveling, as there are not many charging stations in the area and sometimes they are out of commission. The breakfast was very good; i really liked the yogurt and fresh fruit. I wish more people would tip the women who prepare and service the rooms and breakfast. The view of the Selkirks from the back was lovely - I saw a Lazuli bunting and a bull moose.
