The cabin was nice and cozy. A little tight for a week of stay. Kitchen was functional and had basic amenities. The road noise is quite loud all day and starts to quite down at maybe 8pm to 6am. Had dinner at Sorensens orderedd the beef stew which was only had 4 pieces of beef. A bit disappointing. They also had some construction which started at around 10am. More noise. Nice ambiance but overall disappointed. Will not be coming back.

We arrived about 2 hours early. There was no parking but one of the staff members gave us his parking spot, which was really nice. At check in, Tres was really nice and quick. The complimentary drinks upon arrival were a nice surprise. The Chapel cabin was perfect for the 2 of us. It was clean, cozy, and had amazing views. It was the perfect little getaway in September. We will definitely be coming again.

Always a pleasure. The sauna is a treat, the restaurant’s chef knows their way around venison, the wine list is legit, andsitting out under the aspens and stars after a day of hiking (or fishing or reading) is a treat rivaled only by the cozy, well-appointed cabins’ comfy beds. Hygge all the way.
