This lodge is close to the freeway, so you hear the trucks. and it is noisy. Running a fan and white noise on my phone helped. No air conditioner. The restaurant was great. Good food and service. The coffee bar was also excellent. The bed was not as firm as I would have liked, but we slept well. The shower was large and better than most. Very friendly staff!

The only thing I would suggest would be clear signage for the office for check-in but otherwise, it was a great place to stay for the price. It was clean, plenty of towels, and the staff was friendly. And my kids got to play in the snow right outside our room. Hope to return in the summer to enjoy the firepit and outdoor areas. The restaurant was also super convenient.

I needed a place to crash after a ski day. This is essentially a motel. It's not at all fancy but the beds are clean and comfortable, the small shower was hot and had good pressure and the attached restaurant makes a very good burger and milkshake (and breakfast). One warning - no liquor license. If you are looking for a quaint mountain retreat this is not the place. If you are looking for a comfortable base while skiing or exploring this places is solid.

perfect for a quick winter getaway, just 12 miles down the mtns from Royal gorge xc. Simple, quiet, clean, warm room.
decent snow in the vicinity too, if only there was access for snowshoeing etc.
very good american food at the on site restaurant, The Rustic Table - helping breakfasts too. No liquor but good coffee.

The staff were so helpful. We loved the convenience of having a restaurant to walk to. We ate dinner and breakfast at the restaurant which made for a more relaxing mini vacation. Plus the food was great and a great price. We will return again.

Such a cute little lodge right off 80, tucked back into the trees.
Staff was beyond accommodating and so friendly. The bed was very comfortable.
I ate dinner at the Rustic Lodge and it was great, as well. Prices are incredibly reasonable.
