“The lodge's setting by the creek is a real draw, offering a tranquil spot that's remarkably close to both town and the national park entrance. Staff kindness shines through, even extending to shipping forgotten items, and the complimentary baked cookies are a thoughtful touch. Rooms are comfortable and well-equipped, making it a solid base for exploring the area.”
