The lodge itself is beautiful, and the view of the mountain is breathtaking!! I couldn't have asked for a more beautiful view. The staff was always very helpful and friendly.

In my option, the food is a little overpriced. For one dinner I had the steak and while it was good I personally prefer Outback and the price was over double.

At the time of my stay it was "maintenance" season which means that they were doing a lot of work on the place, which is fine but on our relaxation day, having to hear a jackhammer for nine hours while they were working on the hottub took it's toll which tool down the rating.

There is no air conditioning here at the lodge, which I believe they openly tell you, however it seemed like we could not turn off the heat and if you close the windows the room gets VERY HOT which means you have to sleep with the windows open and there are no screens. This issue was actually one of the biggest for our stay, as even my wife was uncomfortable with the heat.

Note, that the walls are extremely thin and you can hear quite a bit of noise from people walking on the stairs, to the cleaning crew cleaning adjacent rooms and people walking in the hall. The lodge attempts to accommodate by providing ear plugs and establishing a quite time in the lodge.
