The lodge only houses registration, the restaurant and a really nice open area with separate seating areas within. The rooms are all individual cabins that are throughout the property. You can drive to your cabin and park beside it. The property is large and the roads winding, but the signage is really good.|We had a cabin that was called a suite. It had a living area and a bedroom, with a bathroom that attached the 2 rooms, almost like a pass through.|The king bed was comfortable and there was a lot of counter space in the bathroom.|There is no air conditioning, but it was cool at night so we didn't need it. There was a room heater as well as a wood burning stove in the living area.|There is no TV but you could get internet, but no wifi.|As a city girl, I was a little disconcerted when I read a note in our room to let the management know immediately if we had a mouse or bat in our room. Evidently, they have a hard time keeping them out and I noticed that there was steel wool pushed into the wall almost all the way around the room. Thankfully, we didn't have any problems.|If you like a more rustic area to vacation in, this is the place. While it's in the middle of the park, it is quite comfortable.|Our room included a 5 course dinner in the dining room as well as breakfast.|We were glad of this because this Lodge is in the center of the park and you'd have to drive quite a way to find other restaurants.|The included meals were good. Dinner was a 5 course tasting menu and was very filling. You did get a couple of choices for each course.|Breakfast was ordered from a menu.|The service in the restaurant wasn't great. Everything is very slow. The server was friendly and helpful, just not very fast. |My food had been delivered and was hot and I requested some ketchup. I know the server is busy and has others to wait on, but I watched him go to another table and then went to the computer to check them out and get their check, then take it back to them. In the meantime, I'm waiting for ketchup and my food is getting cold. I had to ask a second time and then he went and got it. A small complaint but cold potatoes just aren't great!|As an aside, since we were in the middle of the park, we heard the male elk bellowing for females several times during the night as it is mating season for them. That was pretty cool.
