Desolation hotel was truly magical. We stayed at the glamping tent and loved every minute of it. Our only regret was staying for one night… should have stayed longer!

I’ll be back
Loved this beautiful place. The area is gorgeous and although by a road you cannot hear the traffic. The cabins are so cute and clean. They provide wood for the fireplace on the property. We went for the summer so did not use the wood stove in the cabin. The restaurant has good food and drinks! Also loved the services they provided. Very friendly

Liked: Cleanliness
The cabin was nice and cozy. A little tight for a week of stay. Kitchen was functional and had basic amenities. The road noise is quite loud all day and starts to quite down at maybe 8pm to 6am. Had dinner at Sorensens orderedd the beef stew which was only had 4 pieces of beef. A bit disappointing. They also had some construction which started at around 10am. More noise. Nice ambiance but overall disappointed. Will not be coming back.

Time to relax
When I booked this room at last minute I didn’t realize it didn’t have a tv or a fridge/microwave. Although not a huge problem. Wi-fi worked well in my room. I was checked by Grace she was so nice and helpful especially since I arrived late. I was greeted with a glass of wine and since I wasn’t drinking I was given other options and chose the apple juice. There was a complementary bottle of wine in the room. A nice coffee pot with great coffee. I loved the tub it has been awhile for a nice soak. Has thick and fluffy towels. Although the bed was closer to the floor than I like (cause I’m old and trouble getting up) it was very comfortable. Bedside table had a phone / watch charger which worked great. My room was next to the sauna which I didn’t use cause it was already in use by others. They do have wagons to take your items to your room so you don’t have to carry them. I did see some people working on other rooms so I can’t wait go back!!

We arrived about 2 hours early. There was no parking but one of the staff members gave us his parking spot, which was really nice. At check in, Tres was really nice and quick. The complimentary drinks upon arrival were a nice surprise. The Chapel cabin was perfect for the 2 of us. It was clean, cozy, and had amazing views. It was the perfect little getaway in September. We will definitely be coming again.

Cabin was cute, clean, comfortable, staff was great! Quiet and nice, hiking trails, I love it! No wifi in the cabins but you can connect in the lobby and make calls or so in the area next to it. They greet you with some wine, they have coffee and tea bar for no charge and you can keep the reusable water bottles for free. I’m going back in 2 weeks !! I didn’t use it but they have sauna room for free too, and they provide nice bathrobes, Dyson hairdryer, etc.
