Loved the peaceful atmosphere of the cabin. We were upgraded to a working fireplace which was fun and welcomed with a small bottle of wine. Loved having two adirondack chairs out front to soak up all the beauty. Hotel has nice shop, coffee shop and decent restaurant. Loved being able to hike to the falls that everyone else was bussing to.

A quaint lodge with individual bungalows. Clean yet somewhat dated but with Rocky Mountain charm. Of course the location is spectacular with beautiful Johnston Canyon at its doorstep. Get up early and beat the crowds to the waterfalls

These are so close to the Johnston Canyon enterance. The canyon can be very busy but this loation makes it possible to beat the crowds in the morning. The cabins are cute and they allowed our dog to stay with us. As typical with the area, there were lots of bears so just be sure to practice bear safety while walking. Loved the staff too!

We stayed in a cabin for 3 nights. Requested cleaning after 2 nights and this was not done despite making 2 requests. A mouse was seen in our cabin on the 3rd night. This place advertises tennis courts but they are not useable. Dining on site was great and servers there were very good.

This is a very old rustic property. They do try to make it clean and comfortable. There is not much of a TV signal so they offer free DVD movies in the lobby. The small bottle of wine in the room was a nice touch.

Family vacation

Our family stayed in a two bedroom, two bath cabin. The two baths were actually one with a sink and toilet, and another with a tub, shower, and a sink. Beds were comfortable, and cabin was clean. Office staff was very nice and friendly, however, we felt like there should have been a more efficient way to contact them after hours. Only option was to send an email. The store/coffee shop on site was very convenient, however, we were disappointed with the friendliness and efficiency of the staff. In addition we were very disappointed with the non working ice cream and milkshake service. We were told each day it would be working tomorrow, but it never was.

Just know this lodge is old and dated. The ceilings are very low, the beds are small, the WiFi doesn’t work. The resources and amenities are very limited. The staff of the restaurant and snack shop were uncaring and bothered. They were out of everything at the snack shop. It was raining and with no paved parking or walk ways, we were in the slippery mud. Overpriced for what it is!!
