There is absolutely zero reason you should stay here outside of the summer period.
1. The lodge actually closes after September and all of the Amenities close with it. They actually put you in a motel style set up next to the property. I’m fact, you are not even allowed to go near the property you thought you were staying at as it is covered in no respawning signs and has a guard dog to keep people away.
2. The “cabins” they put you in are small and cheap. There is a reason they have zero pictures of them on the website. It is a small cabin they have divided up into 4 single units so you have three other units touching yours with thin walls.
3. It is ridiculously overpriced, places in town are much nicer and are half the price. You can also walk to do things from hotels in town. There is literally nothing to do here once the lodge closes and restaurants/bars are not in walking distance. Seriously, it felt straight up depressing to be there.
4. They will charge you extra for a room with a view….it’s a ground level parking lot that allows everyone to stare at you while you are in bed.
As others have experienced, when we booked during the summer time there was zero indication we would not actually be staying at the lodge. We even got an email outlining all of the amenities for us to enjoy during our stay. It was only two days before we arrived that they called and let us know everything was closed and that we were not actually allowed on the property. So those great reviews that mention the views? Yeah, you won’t be seeing those. Instead the view we paid extra for was a parking lot, which meant we had to keep the blinds closed all the time to get some measure of privacy.
Of course, we were only informed of this after it was too late to cancel.
We were booked to stay two nights, only stayed one night and then booked a place in town to stay the other night even though we couldn’t get a refund due to how much of a nicer experience they offer compared to the “winter bungalows”
