“While perched atop a steep hill presenting stunning views, this lodge's location also brings isolation and reliance on shuttles, a crucial consideration as dining options are limited and somewhat pricey. Rooms are clean, though basic, but the exceptional service and helpful staff, together with those vistas, create a stay that's more about the experience than the accommodations themselves.”
