There are a lot of steps to the cabins or rooms up the hill. So, if you have old achy knees, think twice. We had to walk up 16 or more stone steps up a steep embankment to get to our room. Painful! Most cabins or room had wooden steps. The good part was the staff were nice, helpful, friendly. The on-property restaurant served breakfast, lunch and dinner and was very good and reasonable. Had a beautiful setting.

Very cute cabins, nice being outside the main tourist strip of Keystone, staff was nice. When we checked in the cabin heat was off though and it was quite cold (May), took a while to warm up. The bed was quite uncomfortable and we actually decided not to stay a second night because of this.

Very spacious cabin #10. Across the street from the lodge. Very clean, didn't have spices or any wraps like tin foil. Your basic kitchen. Bring your own leftover containers and such, salts and peppers and spices for cooking . Very quiet even being next to the staff quarters. Pretty landscapes, bugs were not bad either. A week after memorial day weekend.

Great heated pool and little playground for the kids. Our room was by the road but the ac drowned out the noise from the road. I like a fan noise when sleeping but at times the ac was a little too loud, otherwise great stay, great food at restaurant also.
