Eclectic building built in the 70’s. Lots of retro knotty pine paneling, wall of mirrors and real keys. Price was reasonable, no loud guest. Would stay there again

To begin with we checked in and they said no indoor pool or hot tub. Okay it happens, then no hot water to shower they didn't say anything about that part. It was an okay room but smaller then it looks in pictures.

The pool and hot tubs were closed with no warning and we booked just three days ahead. Shower water stopped running in the middle of a shower. Faucet water ran only cold with a weak stream. Old technology tv. Staff was friendly.

The property was dated, but that added to the charm! Very cozy, mountain feel with clean rooms and very clean indoor pool and hot tub. Also had a lot of things to do in the lodge (pool table, air hockey, foosball, video games). We'll definitely return when we're in the area!
