The mountain views from the lodge were stunning, whether the day was sunny or misty and overcast. So many tables and seating! There was a ton of storage space for food, whether that be bins for dry goods or giant industrial refrigerators. The two ovens/stoves were very useful, and multiple coffee machines came in handy with all the morning coffee drinkers. You needn't worry about having enough dishes—the cabinets were fully stocked with plates, bowls, pots, etc. and conveniently labeled. Wish there was a dishwasher but we had plenty of folks willing to chip in. There is no freezer, which would be a nice addition even if not placed in the kitchen but we managed without it. There is a countertop ice machine, but I would recommend two for big groups. Having a built-in sound system that can connect to Bluetooth devices was awesome!
The host was very responsive and the tour she gave us upon arrival was thorough and oh so helpful. There is an on-site caretaker who is responsive to help with gas for the grill, additional wood for the fireplace/firepit, or putting away extra garbage.
Be sure to bring a sweater as the tunnel to the dorms can be chilly even in the summer. All in all, we had a fantastic experience, and our guests were impressed with the very cool lodge and beautiful surroundings. Would highly recommend it!
