Our stay at the Bow View Lodge was absolutely delightful! We were thrilled to be upgraded to a room with a king-size bed and a breathtaking view of the mountains. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and cared for. Toby, the receptionist, was incredibly kind and helpful, making our check-in process a breeze. The room itself was well-appointed, with modern charging stations for all our devices – a thoughtful touch that we truly appreciated. We were impressed by the cleanliness of the hotel, but the exceptional service provided by the housekeeping staff truly exceeded our expectations. Every day, our room was refreshed to perfection, with thoughtful touches like neatly arranging our belongings. It felt like coming home to a cozy sanctuary each time. The hotel's amenities, including a convenient microwave on our floor and a refreshing swimming pool, added to the overall comfort of our stay. We felt pampered and relaxed throughout our time at the Bow View Lodge. We wholeheartedly recommend this charming hotel to anyone seeking a memorable getaway. We can't wait to return and experience the warm hospitality and stunning scenery once again.

Horrible. You will get sick if you stay two nights
Very Heavy comforter. Sweating woke up middle of the night. Can not sleep good. Even turn down the heat to 15. Should have the refund for that one night stay as I didn’t sleep. Horrible experience. I report complaint to the front desk next early morning. No sorry to hear from her.

The property is located in a great location. Extremely easy to access the trails, restaurants and stores. Parking was inconvenient as it was extremely limited. Older hotel but had the basic necessities. Staff were friendly.
