Everything was ok and Plateau Lodge is one of the best we have stayed for our hiking trips. The only little problem is just photo displayed when I booked. It shows a nice outdoor bath tub, so I expected the room I booked looks like this. However, that is indeed for another room type.

My lodging was a pop up little cabin that had interesting design features that made for a comfortable and convenient stay. Accessed through a little semi covered atrium or vestible that had a table with chairs, bathtub, sofa what was sealed from rain by the roof and from lateral wind directed rain by an open mesh awning that could be shut but not locked leading to the cabin itself which had a larger than expected room with heater, air on, mini fridge, bathroom with shower, and fully blacked out curtains. I had never seen this type of design before. I really enjoyed it as it was well thought out, placing a premium on being able to enjoy the outdoors ie the vestible as the walls (open mesh tarp) are relatively open to the outdoors permitting draughts of cool, fresh air yet as the roof that covers the cabin extends over the vestible provides protection from the elements in bad weather. Would definitely stay again.
