Highly recommend this Lodge. The lodge is beautiful and offers everything you need. Our stay was absolutely perfect, from the check in process, beautiful spacious rooms overlooking the mountains, breakfast was included and was delicious. The Steakhouse attached was also amazing. The staff were so friendly and accommodating. We will be back.

Nicely constructed. Great views. Rooms are very nice and comfortable. Easy parking. Tied to the Twin Owls steakhouse. Great breakfast. Staff is very nice however overall service may be less than you expect in a “hotel” so read the description carefully if you’re expecting lots of attention.
