This property is amazing. I have been staying here since the 1980s. Each room has a private balcony that overlooks Roaring Fork Creek. The ladies at check-in and check-out were great. If you ever wanted a place just a short walk from the parkway, give this lodge a chance.
The room not clean hair in tub on night table. In my eggs at breakfast. This place was not clean . Not noted a $5.00 parking fee per day. Room and elevator not clean chiped formica in both showed aged and not updated. No ice available
The bed was terrible, the pillows also, the room was full of bugs, the tub in really bad shape and the heat shutdown in the middle of the night and it was very very cold. We didn’t catch any sleep at all due to the sun of all that.

The place has become my favorite place to stay! The staff was fantastic, Alvin was awesome to talk to in the mornings while having breakfast. Look forward to my next visit
The staff was nice, but the place.... mmmm what can I say... for that money you better try in a different place. Old hotel, not much effort cleaning, people are allowed to smoke in the balconies so you cannot enjoy the creek because there's someone with the cigarette smoke ruining the moment.
Absolutely loved my stay. The balcony view from the honeymoon suite was so beautiful with the stream. The staff was extremely nice. Also, loved the wood burning fireplace in our room.
