The fireplace in our original booking was not working, maintenance was sent immediately to assist. They could not get it working. The staff at the lodge gave us an upgrade to a better room with a working fireplace. Excellent customer service!

Great place for a family to take a breather from a long road trip. Wish we could have stayed 3 nights instead of 2. Dinner at the restaurant was delightful sitting on the porch with a beautiful view of the mountains and a guitar player strumming at the cafe below was perfect. Fridge was separate freezer was very useful in the cabin. breakfast was fast and convenient. Mini golf needs an upgrade by all the other play zone facilities were nice and clean.
