This is a beautiful place for the whole family. Nice cabins, neat trails and good trout fishing. A place to just enjoy the outdoors.
I went in unsure what to expect, as I didn't see many reviews for their hotel rooms, and the website isn't very useful in describing what they are like. My answer is "not bad". If you're here on vacation, it's probably great. If you're here because it's the most convenient location to where you're working, you might want to consider your other options. This place is very much geared toward fishing and that's what everyone I encountered was doing. As an FYI, there is a siren that sounds around 7 AM & 7:30 PM relating to fishing in the park.
Pros: Fridge & microwave were probably the nicest of anywhere I've stayed without a dedicated kitchen, beds were comfortable with lots of pillows, TCL TV with DirecTV, clean room with vinyl flooring, friendly staff & easy to work with, back door with screen door opens to small greenspace (frequented by wildlife) with picnic tables and grills
Cons: Only ATT seems to get cell service here, free WiFi accessible only in the dining area or outside by the hotel office (even the closest rooms don't get signal), no freezer in the rooms (there is a public one outside by the hotel office, my food was fine in there), the bathroom isn't great (shower either slowly drained or didn't drain at all, toilet ran about every 15 minutes, oddly tiny sink, ancient vent fan), the chair in the rooms is extremely uncomfortable and the 2 "desk" options were at inconvenient heights, front door could use some new weather stripping
Great place to visit and wonderful people work there, but the prices are outrageous! It's more of a BOUTIQUE now rather than a Trout Fishing Lodge.... They are going for the look of elegance not outdoor adventures! They continue to carry fewer fishing supplies and more souvenirs. The park is still one of my favorite places to camp and fish, the store on the other hand is the least.
Decent food, average prices, friendly and helpful staff. Great view.
Had dinner at the restaurant. The ribeye pork chop with rosemary compound butter was delicious. Nice roomy dinner hall, views of deer and birds just outside.
Our server Tammy was very busy, and still was able to joke and provide us excellent service.
On night 2, had the chicken fried chicken. Excellent flavor very tender. Again Tammy was very busy and still managed excellent service.
Give this place a try.
