This a place that you visit for the view and don't expect more than that.

I was there last summer again and the facilities are not bad, just "rustic". After all you are out in the middle of nowhere. From what I hear a new owner took it over in the past few years and compared to when I visited in 2000, it shows signs of improvement.

The main issue is that the access road from Vail is absolutely brutal in some spots. So bad, I've actually had people that were with me, start laughing because it's so bad it's funny. I do not recommend that you try to bring your Ferrari back here. Regards, mountainstar

7/8 found this review helpful

The food was mediocre, but expensive. The facilities were not very clean and could use some serious help in the food areas and the bathrooms. There seemed to be a lack of help when it came to the different activities and some were closed. The air is clean and sweet, the view is stunning.The staff was extremely friendly. This place could be so much more than what it is.
