"Good size clean room, lots of amenities. Dining was decent but a little pricy, but with no other options nearby we reluctantly paid up. Great location for entering the park early."

10/10 Excellent
"A very pleasant setting in the woods. The tavern, restaurant and lounge with roaring fire were all great. I had a tent (glamping) with a very comfortable bed but it’s cold at night in the mountains in October. If you glamp you’d better have warm sleep wear and I recommend a watch cap as well. Bring shower shoes for the bath house."
