The lodge is beautiful. We only stayed one night and completed the falls walk/hike. Very scenic. Dinner menu was available (not a buffet) and everyone enjoyed their meal. Beds were very comfortable.

Great location next to the falls, beautiful mountain views. A nice fire pit and seating to watch the sunset. Great AC in the room, clean. The bed mattress needs to be replaced it was too lumpy, hard to get comfortable. Staff was friendly

The staff was excellent, helpful. There were several issues in our room: Initially the thermostat would not work in the heat position but the staff promptly brought a heater. The sink drain was clogged, again the staff remedied the problem. After requesting housekeeping, the towels were not replaced (perhaps we should have placed the old ones on the floor, but there was no indication to that effect), and one bed was only partially made. The best part is the location of the lodge and its orientation toward the west. The sunsets over the mountains on the horizon are incredible. This is the second time we stayed at the lodge (4 nights) and we will come again. The surrounding region is beautiful too, waterfalls, towns, trails.

The lodge is a beautiful hidden gem! Rooms are very nice and clean. The view from the window is amazing, and you can go down and sit outside to enjoy that view of the mountains even more. There's a restaurant on-site that's pretty good, and in addition to hiking the Falls while you're there, you can do ziplining and archery as well. Great place!

Breathtaking views. Get the balcony room! Lunch buffet was delicious and well done. Service is fantastic. Water pressure was amazing. Nice hot showers, comfortable beds and pillows. Wish the rooms had a microwave and wish the resort had a pool. There is a microwave available by the ice machine on level 3 though. The hiking and water falls in the area are the best around!
