Stayed in Standard Room Valentines Weekend. Clean room, friendly staff and comfortable bed. They do charge an extra $5 per night for parking. Biggest complaint with the room was a very small bathroom. The toilet was (no joke) 2 inches from the tub which made it very awkward. Probably going to stay elsewhere next time

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 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 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.
