Not a great service.
The place is on the busy highway so that it gets noisy. Also there is no room service or linen service. You have to bring your own or pay extra for linen and towels.

We were in town for hiking at the PA Grand Canyon. Cute little modem suite with rustic charm. No problems at all. Caretaker were communicative. Found a few good locals restaurants nearby, did some hiking, and a wagon ride. Nice area to relax. Didn't see Sasquatch. 😕😀

Great stay
Room was cute, clean, comfortable. There is no one on site to check you in. You call a number posted on a building, that was a little odd but we figured it out.

This is our 3rd time staying at Rough Cut Lodge, first time in this suite. We love the quietness of the area. We enjoy the small kitchen with all we could need to make meals while staying there. The rooms are beautiful and have many amenities that make it feel like home. We enjoy being able to stay connected with WIFI and some television to occupy our boys if needed. Michelle is a phenomenal person to work with and talk to about your booking. We have already booked a different suite for January!

No one was there to greet me at hotel, they use electronic check in. No one sent me information on my room number, luckily a housekeeper was there to help me figure it out. Oddly, sheets weren’t included in my room. I had to Venmo $10 for them - this should be included on the listing! Then, when I arrived, there were no sheets on the bed. I was told they’d Venmo me back for the charge - still waiting. The door didn’t open after putting on the code - apparently you had to turn the latch a particular way - would have been nice to have a note about that. Felt like the customer service was nearly nonexistent.

We couldn’t find Suite 7 at first then realized it was across the road. The suite itself was adorable but was right on a busy road with relentless truck traffic. We couldn’t even converse when sitting on the porch, it was so loud. If we stay again we would request to be on the main campus across the road with a little buffer from the road noise.

Great place, close to cherry brook park for star watching. Very friendly staff. Fyi you will have to pay for linens and check out is 10am, you can pay extra for a 1pm check out. The tv in the family suite was having a technical issue, so it was kinda of a bummer when travelling w a tween. Other than that, definitely reccomend and we will be back.

Very very clean place! Super nice, cozy, updated, comfortable beds.
I read reviews first so I had no surprises about extra fees for linens, and traffic noise.
I did expect to have an actual cabin that was a separate building rather than a place that was connected but it was quiet so that’s what mattered.
Would stay again- nice place.

The Rough Cut Lodge is perfect for a mountain getaway. We stayed in Suite 5 and it was SPOTLESS!! The suite has 2 bedrooms, a complete kitchen, stocked bathroom and a living room complete with a TV and a fireplace. The owner Michelle was very pleasant to speak with and let us know about the new jacuzzis on site. Wished we would have stayed longer. I HIGHLY recommend staying at Rough Cut Lodge!! Perfection in every way!
