Great ambience

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 3 weeks ago

We were staying up the road but came to the tavern for dinner. Super busy but meals still came out in 20 minutes & they apologized for the wait. Beautiful lodge, loved the open fires & cosy seating areas. We both enjoyed our meals too. Recommend.

Nice rooms. Terrible restaurant

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 4 weeks ago

Rooms are nice and well appointed. Dining room is terrible. Slow service and tiny portions. Nouvelle cuisine at its worst. Not what you’re looking for after a day of hiking. Skip the dining room and eat in the tavern or go to one of the other places in the area.

A great way to mix wilderness and comfort

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 4 weeks ago

The location is fantastic for access to the National Park. We stayed in a spa cabin, which was warm, comfortable and well-appointed. The restaurant is good, but overpriced. The bar food in the tavern is much better value. The only downside was that if you want more than one coffee at breakfast, you have to pay extra on top of the breakfast charge. Really?!! So little expense there for major goodwill from travelers, Peppers!

Resting on its laurels

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 month ago

While obviously in the best location on the mountain, this is clearly resting on its laurels. Not having wifi in the room or main breakfast room and restaurant when it’s 2 degrees outside and pelting simply isn’t fun and while the well meaning staff has been recruited from part time workers from all around the world that somehow doesn’t gel with a wine cellar with hundreds of different bottles and fine dining ambitions in the kitchen. The rooms are heated by a wood imitation gas fire flickering through the night and everything looks like Covid hasn’t been kind to the updating program. Altogether a big disconnect between price and offering.

Fine, but 'rustic' for sure

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 month ago

We checked in on a relatively quiet Monday afternoon. As I had made the reservations for the 2 couples, they were listed under my name. That's when the issues started. The very friendly, but slightly incompetent gentleman helping us (whose name I remember but will not mention), seemed fine with separating the reservations, but when it actually came to doing it, it took forever. It took so long in fact, that 2 couples that came in after us, and were helped by other staff, left before us. We finally got the keys, and as the rooms were literally the two closest to reception, our stuff was ready to go. As soon as I entered the room, which was pretty dingy and dark, I noticed something - we didn't have balconies, as was written on my hard copy reservation. I immediately went back and showed another staff member this, as the previous gentleman helping us was busy, and she said we'll upgrade you to a premium room. Now, they must have had my room type on their reservation screen, and what room I was to have but sold them out and hoped I didn't remember. I hope that wasn't the case, but the way the gentleman reacted when I came back and said something, makes me believe he did know. It was not a great way to start out. We did finally get to our rooms, which were definitely a step up in size and airiness. Our rooms were further back on the property and next to each other which was great. We had lots of privacy due to all the trees outside our balcony. The room had a king sized bed, fireplace and kitchenette. Now from the website photos, it looks like there are some renovated, modern rooms, which ours were definitely NOT. While comfortable, they ( ours and our friends next door) rooms were on the rustic side. We did have a hearty breakfast each morning - good selection of choices of all kinds, and in the evening one night we went casual for pizza (quite good) and a game of pool, and one night more formal, which was also very good. The restaurant staff were all helpful and cheery. It is nice that there are no TV's or wifi in the rooms. We, like everyone else it seemed, took a few minutes after breakfast to catch up on news in the reception area.
