We had such a great stay over the weekend! Everything was very clean inside and out, and the whole place had a cozy, welcoming vibe. The customer service was great throughout our stay, and the Zane Grey restaurant was absolutely fantastic. Great food, great atmosphere, and an overall wonderful experience.

Rustic lodge and cabins in stunning Ponderosa Pines. We had a King suite in lodge. Bed was super comfortable. However when we arrived had almost no parking spots nearby due to restaurant guests who were not from hotel. Starting repeatedly from 8 to about 10 there's Noone at the front desk, they're in the back and you have to keep calling into the abyss.

The cabin was beautiful definitely bigger than I expected. It was such a comfortable stay and it was so beautiful to have the creek right down below. We will definitely be staying here again. Highly recommended to anybody that is trying to get away for the weekends with your significant other or it’s such a kid friendly place there were so many kids down by the creek. It was beautiful.
