The property is just as advertised. Such a cool experience to stay in this incredibly unique property. We woke up to bighorn sheep every morning and the sunsets were beautiful! Great dog friendly property and my 10 year old absolutely loved the “coziness.” I personally don’t love gas fireplaces, but “wow,” they nailed it!!! Super cool!!! We will be back!

What a wonderful location. Could not have been more relaxing. Accommodations were better than advertised. Staff at the Gorge were very helpful (and the food at the cafe was really good). Recommend going offseason. We had the whole canyon to ourselves, except for the deer we said hi to every morning out our front door.

Enjoyed the fully equipped kitchen. Loved the peacefulness and ability to hike from the property. Got out of my comfort zone and experienced the bridge walk and gondola. Was super excited to see a ringtail! Appreciated the cleanliness.
