It wasn’t the busy time of year so it was quiet and very few people. We got a very spacious room too. Want to go back next summer!

This place is the worst. We arrived and checked in within the stated virtual check in time. There were no instructions left for us at all. We called, texted and knocked on the office door (because there was an “open” sign”) and nothing. Sat in the parking lot for 30 minutes because their voicemail box was full, hoping they’d come in. Nothing, so we booked a hotel nearby. The next day I went by their office and they said “oh yeah our TV with instructions must’ve been out so we’ll give you a refund…we’ve already refunded Expedia since it was a 3rd party— just reach out to them who’ll confirm with us, and we’ll get you a refund.” We took their word for it and Expedia fell for the same thing we did! Over 72 hours they’ve attempted to confirm that our reservation was canceled, which was unsuccessful. Expedia rejected my refund because they haven’t gotten a hold of the hotel. Unbelievable.

The Discovery Lodge was a bigger property than I expected and the room was quite large. We arrived to breakfast towards the end so a lot of the food was gone, but it seemed like a decent continental breakfast. My favorite part was the lake in the middle of the bldgs and all of the elk that were surrounding the location.
