Sorenson’s was part of my childhood. I appreciate how Desolation Hotels honors the history of the property and brought the cabins into the 21st century. We had a marvelous stay and can’t wait to go back.

This is a hidden gem. Pictures and videos doesnt do justice of how beautiful the place is. If you want to be in the wilderness and have a quiet time with family and friends, this is the place. A lot of activities and hiking trails that you can do.

Truly a gem, it checks all the boxes and more, a well thought out property, every detail is the best of the best from Frette linens to its too many thing to mention. But take time to hit the wood sauna:cold plunge you’ll be glad you did! Of course l, they are also extremely friendly and accommodating

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
It should be noted that parking is not adjacent to the cabins, which sort of struck me as an inconvenience at first, but the hotel provided rubber tired wagons and concrete pathways from the parking lot to the front doors of each cabin. It was only a minor inconvenience for checking in and out but having vehicles parked away from the cabins reduced the noise factor and kept exhaust fumes away from the cabins themselves. This might be a bit of a pain for somebody staying just one night but for several nights was not a big deal.
