The breakfast was great. The room was cozy.

The bed was a little lumpy. There was just a space heater for heat. So the room was very cold and took a few hours to get to a comfortable temperature.

Breakfast and location

Beds were very uncomfortabl

Charming log lodge in the cooler Cottonwood Canyon southeast and at higher elevation but only a half hour from Salt Lake City. The lodge has a wonderful restaurant with outdoor seating among the trees and an excellent chef. We had the tomato onion jam pork chops which were great, and a very good breakfast. Staff was attentive and helpful. Our bed was comfortable and we had a good shower.

Our room had a fan but no air conditioning so was a bit warm and stuffy. The room was small and being older did not have many electrical outlets. Also no TV, but that was not a problem for us. A balcony would have been wonderful but probably hard to add to an old lodge.

Staff was excellent - very helpful and accommodating.

Rooms are very spartan, no frills. Transaction didn't go through from Booking.com, but luckily they still had a room available (but not the one I had booked - that was disappointing). The food was okay, but not super amazing for the price.

Relaxing Lodge. Great food and excellent staff down the road from Solitude

The place is super cozy, with a very log cabin feel, having a warm wood stove in a public sitting area and big fireplace always going in the dining room. The sauna is big, hot, and pristine. One of the highlights is the free breakfast consisting of anything on their excellent menu, and I particularly enjoyed the bananas Foster French toast. Although inconvenienced by the restaurant being closed a couple nights a week, they left us very tasty complementary sandwiches, which was a nice touch. Staff were warm, welcoming, and helpful. The location is gorgeous, and with a car, would be ideal...please see below for our experience without a vehicle.

The location, while normally a highlight of the property, in our case caused us significant difficulty without having a car. We had read somewhere that the hotel ran a shuttle to Solitude/Brighton, but that apparently is no longer being offered - it would have made our stay MUCH better. The lodge is on a ski bus stop, but actually getting onto a bus proved problematic. The buses are not super reliable currently, and often were 100% full by the time they arrived at our stop, having filled up down in town (or up at the mountain, in the case of us trying to catch a downhill one on the day of our departure). The driver in those cases waved us off and sped by, leaving us to wait 30-60 minutes, walk, or find another means of transit. It was also an inconvenience that many of the outlets in our room either didn't work or were so worn out the plugs wouldn't stay in them without being propped by something.
