  • The lodge has a beautiful lobby area with games to play, tables, and couches to relax on. Almost a boutique feel for a lodge. The food at the restaurant down the hill was tasty and the staff was great. (We had just come from Yosemite and the food here was way better here.)

  • Exactly what it says on the tin – a perfectly lovely room in an incredibly beautiful space, full of nature and trees and birds. A+, everyone should do it at least once.”
