Parking for guests was limited but we had no issue parking in spots in the times we arrived. The attentiveness of the staff and amenities in the lodge were great. Coffee, games, tables and chairs, mini store, water filling station were great. The room was perfect for this time of year not needing air conditioning.

Scenery was gorgeous. The place could really use an update and a little better cleaning. We unfortunately had to leave a day early because snow was coming and could not get a refund because we booked on Expedia.
