Staff were very friendly and helpful with questions about where to eat. Breakfast was good. It was quiet at night. We will definitely consider staying here again in the future."

Lodge at Palmer Gulch

10/10 Excellent

"Great place for a family to take a breather from a long road trip. Wish we could have stayed 3 nights instead of 2. Dinner at the restaurant was delightful sitting on the porch with a beautiful view of the mountains and a guitar player strumming at the cafe below was perfect. Fridge was separate freezer was very useful in the cabin. breakfast was fast and convenient. Mini golf needs an upgrade by all the other play zone facilities were nice and clean."

"We were fortunate with our day as we checked in around 3:30 and we received a room right by the lobby very nice. Two queen beds had everything we needed and very quiet. That’s the best. We were also very close to breakfast coffee all the things we needed so for us it was a very, very good day. Thank you so much."
