The property was pretty basic for the price. The weather was bad when we were there, maybe the grounds are better in the sunshine. It’s almost impossible to access any room without climbing some steps which is a pain with luggage.

Beautiful location We arrived at 7am tired of a long 12 hour overnight drive and asked if we could check in earlier we were given accommodations and a great hot breakfast. We were traveling with our 1 year old and this was the best experience. Thank you.

So Relaxing !

This lodge is in a perfect location to reach all the local sites and only a few minutes the downtown Keystone. Wooded and quiet with a view of Washingtons profile! The restaurant food was good. The staff were all very nice and accommodating. We enjoyed the firepit.

The place is very nice and on nice grounds. It is close to everything. Would have preferred to be able to enjoy the fire pit and outside deck which was being used for a wedding/private event. It’s advertised for the guests and should not be part of a private event. We only got to sit out there once for 3 nights with a private event and the weather against us. A private event should not use regular guest amenities.
