The area and views from balcony are unique! Rest are in such a shape that after 2 days of being in so much beautiful place, I wonder if the stay was worthy! Room door lock does not work (literally had to struggle everytime), bathroom lock the same! Had an empty shower gel container. No napkins, no WiFi (so if u r not a 8pm go to bed person u r stuck with 12 tv channels). Food was good but service was terrible (first day dinner was quite good, second day it seemed the waitress did not want to serve). Waited 40 mins for food - and it’s ok dining restaurant. Anywho, now come to front desk, no ones is ever there. Waited 10-15mims to get some shower gel and coffee pods, could not find anyone the three times I went there in two days. But hey the property literally is in the middle of heaven. So ….

For the price we paid we could have camped out way cheaper. There was a dead mouse somewhere which was unappealing to say the least. There was no hot water. And no electricity during the day. If the management knew ahead of time about the power outages they should have at least offered some sort of discount for the price of the stay. On the plus side the service and food in the main lodge was very good.

We love staying in the national park. Big Meadows is easy to walk to restaurant and tap room. The rooms are comfortable in the lodge.
