In September of 2021 my husband I had what we would call the best hamburger and bbq beef sandwich we had eaten for a long time. We kept wanting to go back because the memories were so good. So in July of 2023 we went for lunch, ordered hamburgers and they were quite frankly not even as good as McDonalds. We were promised a coleslaw but that never happened. We had to sit at a tiny round table in the bar because the dining area was closed. They didn’t even have a full menu. Everything was mediocre at best. That’s when we found out they had changed management/ownership. We will never return. The photo I’m attaching is what the sandwiches looked like on 2021. I don’t have photos of what we got in July but know they were nothing like this.

Reserved Elk View cabin for 2 nights. When we reserved the cabin we asked for the nicest one available. Checked out early the next morning after only 1 nights stay. No air conditioning in cabin, ceiling fan wobbled so bad we did not use it, of the few windows that had screens on them only 2 could be opened, Hide-a-bed was horrible, cabin was dirty, curtains were next to useless in terms of privacy and block out light. Very, very uncomfortable place to stay. In my option you should throughly check out the other reviews on this place before staying there.

Cooking stove practically unusable. Bring your own camp stove. Bed headboard fell down toward bed. Not even a roll of TP when the first one ran out. Poor maintenance everywhere. Would help if they had Wi-Fi. TV reception very poor. The only redeeming feature is it is quiet and cooler than Phoenix

Needs upgrades and cleaning. Floors were dirty, spiderwebs on the ceiling, etc. There was someone’s underwear from a previous stay in the corner. When this was mentioned to staff, nobody came by to do anything. Old furniture, appliances, bedding, etc. Steakhouse was great, general store was great, but the cabins are a mess.. Won’t be going back.

We came for the photo opportunities: beautiful golden leafed white oaks, ponds with water fowl, crisp air yielding blue skies. Our cabin was very comfortable and the ADA aides were helpful, as they should be. (You'd be surprised how many motels fail in this.) Our one-room cabin had a microwave, a dorm frig, and a real-sized coffee maker--that was it for the extras. It took some research before hand to find out we had to fend for ourselves for breakfast and lunch, this being in the middle of a beautiful nowhere. The Steak House was on an abbreviated schedule and the pizza place was only open weekends. Felt like we were there out-of-season. The Steak House was open only one of the nights we were there. but the food was very good. The ambience of the whole place is relaxed and rustic. We hope to make a return visit. If you want glitz and to be waited on hand and foot, this is not the place for you.
