We all loved Miller Family Lodge. The beds were comfortable, there were plenty of bathrooms and an abundance of dishes, glasses, silverware, pans and seating. After having stayed at so many private homes that have just enough of everything, it was wonderful to have plenty of amenities. Gene was wonderful to work with and we wouldn't hesitate to rent here again. Beautiful.
Great place for a huge gathering. Would be nice to have access down into the river on the property. Had to drive or walk down the street. Road access is dirt road and single lane. Not too bad has section to stop and allow car to pass by. Host was responsive and helped with all the request ask.
We greatly enjoyed our stay at the cabin. The road is very narrow and windy leading to the cabin, but the parking was easy. Everything was as advertised about the property. It was spacious and cozy. Would recommend to anyone traveling to the area.
Beautiful well kept property. we did have a few issues and reported them to the owner, but they couldn't be fixed during our four day Christmas stay which is to be understood. Nice property with very high end amenities and lots of games and things to keep everyone busy!
Our family went to the Polar Express train ride it was conveniently located between that and the casino. We had plenty of room in such a beautiful home.
The stay was awesome, very clean and beautiful. The only thing we noticed were that the beds seem to be smaller like a full or double instead of queens. The king bedrooms were awesome! Thanks for the wonderful time!
This was a great location for our family to gather. The road getting in was a little iffy, but once there it was a dream. Plenty of space for multiple families and ages. Close to activities as well.
We loved our stay in this home! We were especially impressed with all the helpful little details like night lights in bedrooms and the small things that make being in a different house easier. I was thrilled with how well stocked the kitchen was with dishes and kitchen "gadgets". It was easy for our large group to cook all our meals there.

I stayed here with 16 of my friends and family for my bachelor party. It’s a beautiful home with a great location and a beautiful view of the mountains and river. Highly recommend staying here
The house was fantastic for our group of 12 guys. Comfortable beds, spacious hang out areas, beautiful views and a great kitchen. We loved the place and if I planned the trip again, 100% would have stayed here.
We are a big family and the Miller Lodge is perfect. Very clean and in excellent condition. The checkin was simple and the manager Gene is great. He even ran down a baby gate to help us coral the little one. You have to try this one.
Great house for large families! Very pleased with how clean the house was, bed sheets were so soft and comfortable, plenty of towels for showers and hot tub. Overall this is a great rental and we will be back!
This home was huge and had a nice variety of spaces for our large group! It was well stocked! We loved the huge table for meals and playing games. We had a lot of fun with tubing, hikes, rafting, and other adventures nearby.
This was an ideal spot for our friends group to reunite. The facilities were superb. The beds were comfortable, and there was plenty of space for our large group. We loved being able to gather on the deck and watch the river. It was very peaceful outside. The inside open area got a little noisy at times with all our kids running around, so we spent a lot of time on the deck! :)
