Let me start by saying—I’m truly not boujee, but this might read a little boujee. Just know it’s coming from a place of honesty!
We stayed at the lodge, and while the location and access to trails were great, the room itself was… a little questionable. Our shower had visible mold, a broken shower head, and a nice little trail of ants to greet us. Housekeeping only comes the day you check out, so if you need towels or anything else during your stay, you have to ask—which isn’t the end of the world, just something to know ahead of time.
The complimentary breakfast was decent—think biscuits and gravy, sausage, eggs, cereal, apples, waffles, juice, and packaged muffins. Nothing fancy, but it’ll get you fueled up for a day of hiking.
The onsite tavern was a pleasant surprise! Shout out to Dan, the friendly bartender, who kept the vibes chill and the drinks very reasonably priced.
There’s no shortage of trails to explore and things to do. We were really looking forward to the sky lift our first night, but unfortunately, they decided to close about 30 minutes early. Same thing happened with the pool after a hot hike—lifeguards were eager to wrap up early, which was a bit of a bummer when you’re sweaty and dreaming of a quick dip.
All in all, it’s a convenient and scenic place to stay, especially if you’re planning to hike a lot. Just know what you’re walking into—and maybe bring your own shower shoes.
