They claim to be dog friendly but have nothing but hazards on the grounds for dogs, and a long list of citations if you break their rules. Doesn’t added citations defeat the purpose of leaving your card for incidentals? If my dog ruins something, yes, I’ll pay for it. But don’t treat my dog like a criminal before we even check in. Gorgeous area. Poorly run facility.

The Stay was nice. The only trouble was after checking in we discovered our pooch wasn't allowed in the main lodge where our room was booked. Guest registration was able to switch the booking around to another building to accommodate my pooch. It was a very positive experience. The front desk person was understanding of the mix up. If you have a pooch and book through Expedia, call the resort ahead of time to ensure the reservation is for a pet friendly room. I will book here again. The Continental breakfast was good too.

We got there after dark and our cabin wasnt on the property so the way the front desk person told us to get there was confusing and the road to the cabin wasn't lit up and there were no lights on in the cabin so we had a hard time finding it. Once we got in, it was clean just didnt realize we we'd be so far off the property.

The property welcomes pets, room was clean and comfortable, breakfast is included, and they also included a chairlift ride to view the beautiful changing colors. The only negative we had is not realizing they were on Central Time and that check in time starts at 4:30 pm.

We stayed for 3 nights in a condo unit. The first night my nose and ears itched like never in my entire life. The second night I removed the bedspread and placed onto the patio. Problem solved. Staff were super helpful. Breakfast was understaffed for the influx of people enjoying fall colors.
