Many trails around the property were closed due to construction which was not mentioned on the website. Sunset Terrace rooms are outdated but convenient. Beds are comfortable. Area claimed to be an International Dark Sky Park but there was way too much ambient lighting around sidewalks and street lamps and parking lot lights.

You can't beat this for convenience since you're right in the center of the park and very near the visitor center and lodge restaurants. However, the condition of the cabin left a little to be desired, with peeling paint and questionable alignment of the door lock. It should also be noted that parking was a short walk away. But all things considered, we would stay here again.

Although, we stayed in the older property, the bed was comfortable and we appreciated having a small refrigerator and a coffee maker. The room was clean, but the bathroom needed some remodeling.

Liked: Staff & service

Simple and friendly

Rustic and lovely. Cell service is very spotty. Not a problem if you stay at the lodge but it causes problems if you venture into one of the nearby towns for meals (their onsite restaurant is not very good.) or if you’re planning on hiking the back country.

Therehas been some work done so the yards around the cabins are all torn up and not safe. They seem to be more focused on the new expensive cabins by the lodge than anything else.
