    It was a very nice place for a family with children. I liked that there was a play area, beautiful pond, nice surrounds.

    FALSE ADVERTISING ! Again MISS advertising! I booked a room with a living room and sofa bed, a bedroom with two queen beds and a room with two twin beds. What there was, was a big room with the queen beds and a very small room with two short twin beds, no headboards, and only a small table in between the beds. Very sparse. The only sitting was two outdoor metal chairs around a table in the big room. No sofa, certainly no sofa bed, and certainly no living room. I’m not sure what I would have done had we needed the sofa for the two extra beds. To say the least- I was put in a very awkward situation with no privacy for the queen bedroom. It was so uncomfortable to say the least. We were there for a funeral and the added stress of not having what I booked about did me in. Not a bad place, if they hadn’t misrepresented what was available, and then honored that. I felt that they didn’t take ownership of their false advertising and didn’t try to resolve it at all. Totally dismissive. So make sure you know what you are booking with this place. They won’t help you if you have a problem.

    Location is excellent

    Our room wasn’t ready until an hour after our check in time. The room itself is a bit mediocre and nothing special. The parking lot is abysmal and horribly designed.

    At the foot of Rocky Mountains National Park, the views were fantastic.

    Room could have used a fly swatter…flies and little flying insects. Dog pee stains on carpet. Balcony could be swept off and table and chairs wiped down.

That said, we're sorry to hear about the cleanliness and maintenance issues you encountered.

    Location

    The first room we got was so dilapidated we couldn’t stay there. The desk clerk kindly gave us a room that had been renovated, and it was much better, but the whole place needs a major remodel.

    Location was perfect for walking (path starts just outside our door) and close to our morning Starbucks. Scenery was beautiful!

    Layout in the room was a little tight. It is an older lodge and designed before king size beds were the norm.

    Property response:

    Thank you for sharing your experience! We're so glad to hear you enjoyed the beautiful scenery and convenient location—having the walking path right outside and Starbucks nearby is definitely a plus. We appreciate your understanding about the room layout; you're absolutely right that our lodge's vintage charm comes with some cozier spaces, especially with the addition of king-size beds. We hope to welcome you back again soon for another relaxing stay!
