This has always been our favorite place to go however now that it is for sale, the place is going downhill fast! We stayed 4 days with no tv, no washcloths, disgusting dirty coffee pot, refrigerator did not work and if you call their “after hours” number for assistance no one answers and the voicemail box is full. Also want to mention, the saloon, restaurant and pizza joint you cannot get anything on tap, as they state their “lines froze”.

Omg. Where do I start? Bartender had to pour out 3 beers to get one! And it was horribly warm! Food was disgusting! Mushrooms tasted like they were bad. I only post when I deem necessary. Shut the doors. Offensive....

Our experience with this property was disappointing from start to finish. The issues began when trying to book a room online and continued through the cancellation process, attempts to contact staff regarding late check-in procedures, and multiple calls to the after-hours number, which never returned our calls. Unfortunately, things did not improve once we arrived. The room was not clean and appeared to be poorly maintained. The shower was dirty, in poor condition, and far from what we expected from a lodging establishment. The beds and pillows were extremely uncomfortable, making it difficult to get a good night's sleep. Overall, this was easily the worst lodging experience our family has ever had. Every step of the process—from customer service and communication to the cleanliness and condition of the room—fell well below expectations. If there were an option to give negative stars, we would. We strongly encourage future guests to carefully consider other lodging options before booking here.

I wouldn’t even give this horrible place 1 star. Black spiders in the beds. No hot water, moldy coffee pots. Rudest staff I have ever encountered. Don’t even start with the saloon, what a complete joke. I will warn anyone away from this place.

No staff present, everything closed up, arrived to our prepaid spot via the Aramark website only to find out the water main had burst the day befor. Nobody bothers to tell us. Get hooked up and deal with no water for 2 days. Impossible to find any staff on duty. Workers roaming around will not make eye contact and run from locked door to locked door when they see you coming. The location is great, it’s quiet, and that’s all it has going for it. Basically paid boondocking.
