I had been here 40 years ago as a child and was not disappointed. The view was incredible, the lodge room very rustic and nice, the restaurant excellent (although expensive) and the hiking wonderful!!
I had read reviews about the staff being younger and rude but did not find them to be true. They were pleasant and helpful.
Overall, the resort is more developed and caters to tourists instead of locals but still retains it's beauty and charm. There are bike rentals, boat rentals, hiking trails, a quality restaurant, etc.
I stayed in the lodge in an older room. A couple negatives are the fact that there is only 1 plug, which was not sufficient for my phone and a fan. It was hot and I could open the window but it was very noisy due to the kitchen below. Wi-fi and cell service were spotty as they say on their website. The door locks were tricky and old. Sometimes they released the lock and others not. Needless to say, don't leave your room without your key in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. I was locked out of mine, thinking I had unlocked the door prior to leaving. I had to wait for the rental office to open to return to my room (a couple of hours). Twas an embarrassing episode in the lobby with no shoes, glasses, etc. Weather was too cold to stay in the car. LOL!
Great hiking but the lodge office should supply a simple map of trails to guests. They expect guests to buy a $10 map in the store, which I did not. Instead, chose to wing it. Trails were still covered in snow many places. Gorgeous views and hiking still!!!! Thoroughly enjoyed it!
