Services and security

The staff are friendly and provide detailed walking instructions. However, be mindful of valuables as cell phone theft in the dorms has been reported. No after-hours emergency numbers or menus provided in rooms.
“The lodge presents truly remarkable mountain vistas, particularly from its well-placed lookout points; the addition of an outdoor bath at one such spot is an unexpected delight. Its proximity to numerous hiking trails is a significant draw, and the warm welcome from the staff contributes to a relaxed atmosphere. The property also impresses with its cozy rooms, some featuring fireplaces, and the quality of its refreshments, especially the pizzas, stands out.”
