Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Room was clean, beds comfortable and the staff was very accommodating.
We were leaving early the next morning for backpacking. Was able to get a room here at a great rate. Had a late arrival but the person at the counter was super friendly and got us checked in quickly. Room was as to be expected for a motel but was clean and had everything needed. Would definitely stay here again!
The property owner and management were very friendly and accommodating, gave great suggestions for activities even helped me out with some tools to fix our seat. The motel has a great location near food and activities. We would definitely stay here again.
It was clean no smell, the only thing was the pillows were a bit hard, we got there at 1:45pm the manager was nice and let us check in early. Overall it was a nice stay..
I've stayed at High Country Lodge multiple times and the staff has always been friendly and helpful. The rooms are well maintained, comfortable and clean.
