Rolling Hills Lodge

8/10 Good

"Tasty cooked to order breakfast each morning, but only a one hour window available. Staff was friendly enough, but you were not allowed to enter the lobby. I had to check in and order breakfast through a window while standing outside. The location was very conveniently located while also away from the traffic in the city. We had an awesome view of a bull elk from the property at night and in the morning. I will absolutely stay there again when I visit the area."
