I cannot say enough good things about the staff and the atmosphere at the Grand River Hotel. I…read moreended up here during a difficult time, but from the moment I walked in at 5:00 AM, I was met with pure kindness. Even though check-in wasn't until 3:00 PM that afternoon, they let me check in right then and there without hesitation so I could get my son ready for school. I've stayed in three different rooms now, and every single one has been spotless with a lovely view. The amenities are incredibly convenient--having the washer and dryer right there in the lobby area is a lifesaver. The indoor pool is also a highlight; it's a beautiful, bright area with windows all around it. Most importantly, they are exceptionally pet-friendly. My dogs feel very comfortable here, and there is a great, convenient area to walk them. If you're looking for a place that offers true comfort, cleanliness, and a staff that actually cares about their guests, this is it.

(Not even the worst part) Finally get checked in after confirming correct amount. Get into room to find cockroaches and bugs near the fridge, sinks(both bathroom and in room). Left our bag on the counter to find out it was now covered in bugs. Staff offered to move us rooms in the morning and claimed they have housekeeping every day. (Clearly a lie, this room looked like it hadn't been cleaned in a while) Had to reserve room with different hotel last minute which by the way was amazing. Super clean and close to glenwood. (Comfort Inn -highly recommend unlike this dump!) Very unhappy and still waiting for a full refund.

Let's be clear. This is the absolute best elk hunting experience I have ever been to…read more The lodge: Yes, these generous people open up their home for us to stay in. Their children are very respectful and I loved having them around. I stayed in a suite which was the absolute best accommodations I have ever stayed in. I had my own deck to watch the beautiful stars in the morning and my own bathroom with a shower you can fit ten people in and a tub to soak in after the long day of hunting. The food: They say on the website there is a five star chef. It is Jeremy's wife who cooks all the food and it was more than five star in my personal opinion. She noticed I loved fruit so every meal there was fruit for me. Which is above and beyond. The hunting experience : It was EXCEPTIONAL. The guides we had were very knowledgeable and went above and beyond to make sure we were seeing elk every single day. Jeremy (the owner) who is a true hunter, not just a "resort owner" was out every day glassing to find where the elk were at. He has 12 miles of land so where the elk were at, we were at. We had no issues going to the same "sweet spots" because that means that's where the elk are at. Overall, we will be coming back. They are an exceptional family with a beautiful lodge and amazing hunting ground. It is not a spot that elk will migrate through, it is a place that they stay because of all the abundant resources Jeremy has ensured the land will have for the animals. You won't find a better hunting resort to stay at!

My partner and I booked this Elk hunt based on input from Rolling Bones Outfitters, a third party…read moremediator. We were told that Crossing Creek's success rate was 100% for the 1st rifle season in 2017 and a high success rate overall. We booked the 1st rifle season for 2018. What we missed was 2017 was Crossing Creek's first year in business. The Lodge. The enormous beautiful hunting Lodge is not a Lodge; it's actually the owner's Home complete with 2 wonderful young boys. Surprise! All business is conducted at one wing of the Home where the kitchen and dining room are located. It is also the same wing in which the owners live. Starting at 4:30-5am when the hunters join for a quick snack while waiting for the Guides to arrive, who leave their diesel engines running just outside this wing, then business ends at midnight after dinner, countless cocktails and loud endless stores. I mention this because one of the owners rebuked me the second morning for making too much noise and waking one the boys. I believe this incident is the reason the owner two days later flew a drone mounted with high intensity LED lights that were shining inside my second story windows at 4am. It was HARASSMENT as well as childishness. Whatever the owner's reason was, it's no way to treat a paying customer. For the doubting Thomas's, there are no outside security lights. Certainly not one that is 10 feet away facing into a South facing window then moves to an East facing window then laterally passes the bathroom window in another room. I was harassed. I was totally blindsided and now doubt the owner's integrity. It was a childish and resentful attack. Entering the Lodge (Home) there is a small 6' long bench. Hunters lack sufficient space and storage for hunting gear and rifles. Hunting gear/clothing/boots lie about like any other man cave however this is a Home and you must be mindful of that. Five unchecked rifles were left lying around on the floor or leaning against one corner. I consider this a safety hazard for a Home or any Lodge especially one with children. A solution would be to build an outside heated changing and storage room. The Range. Sitting in the mud is an old saggy 6' folding table along with older chairs. In the field was a cardboard box with Sharpie circles for a target. I've used worse but at top dollar I expect better such as a concrete shooting table, chairs and official targets down range. Improvement is needed. The Guides. There were three Guides. A bonus since it was booked 2 hunters to 1 guide. Two of them were around 25+ y/o with extensive Elk hunting experience. The third, older, Guide had extensive hunting experience but not with Elk. All three lacked any years of experience as Guides and for sure it was one Guide's first year, first week even. It was also clear the Guides had one week of experience on the property. They had lots to learn at our expense. One Guide brought his girlfriend with him for an early afternoon hunt. One hundred percent of his time was focused on his girlfriend and he totally neglected the three hunters. We were not his priority. Later that cold night returning from the mountain top we loaded into an old Jeep Cherokee for the 4 mile bumpy ride home. One of the older hunters and my partner, 63, had to ride in the rear with the spare tire and hunting gear while the Guides girlfriend sat up front with the heater on full blast. We lost 1/2 a day of hunting and basically paid for the Guide to spend time with his girlfriend. The Hunting. There is 12 miles of property bordered by National Forest and BLM land. Of the 12 miles we only hunted in two small areas, the highest point of the property facing the Nat'l Forest and the lowest point facing BLM land. All the rest of the property was under development and not hunted. While the owner and Guides did work hard for our success only one of five hunters harvested an Elk or 20% success rate. The Guides were not allowed to cross the boundaries of the property. Had we shot an Elk in the Forest or BLM I was left with the impression we had to haul it out. That's what Guides get paid to do. The Food. While the website leads you to believe a 5 star chef is cooking your meals this was not the case for hunters, wedding only maybe. One of the owners and a Guides wife prepared the meals. They did an excellent job and the service was superb. Summary. We paid top dollar for this hunt. What we got was a bed in a fancy house, good food, an owner who wanted us to be successful and worked hard towards that end, inexperienced Guides experienced hunters, a property that is under development and not ready for prime time hunting and finally personal harassment. This place has great hunting potential. If you must go, go in 5 years.

I booked this hotel via Hotwire, who stated in my receipt that the hotel would choose an…read moreappropriate room for our party. When we arrived, the check-in woman said that Hotwire had allocated our room, which had a queen bed for three people, without a sofa bed. I said this wasn't appropriate for our group size, but her suggestion was that we call Hotwire and cancel the room. This just didn't make any sense. I asked if they could change our room, but she insisted this would be an upcharge of $50. Then I asked if there was a supervisor who could clear up this problem, although this woman also passed the buck to Hotwire. I assumed they must be full that night, but no, they weren't. They were just cheap, argumentative, and irrational. After haggling for way too long, the manager finally agreed to provide us a suitably-sized room, but "just this once." WTF? This was appalling customer service. I'll add that this is a dated Holiday Inn with run-down rooms and amenities, and without a working pool. (They didn't have any gluten free options at breakfast either, so why should we pay more to receive less?) Two stars for the serene view of the river, zero stars for the absolutely dreadful customer service.

When my husband started got irritated and mentioned how nasty the room was with other hotel guests nearby, the clerk mysteriously was able to find another room.

We…read moreused OnX to respect the land and access points and hiked 5-11 miles daily around the property. We were lucky to put an arrow in an elk, unlucky to do it right after a hailstorm which made the mountains extremely muddy and slippery. With the truck parked 5 miles away up and down several thousand feet of elevation, we decided to try calling HL Ranch to allow access to the private road below our ridge to have a safer pack out that would be quicker to ensure meat preservation. The new manager was more than willing to help recover the animal, as we had respected the private land while going after the elk on the surrounding public land. We met the whole staff later and ended up buying some grass fed beef to take home (extremely delicious so far!!). The whole operation of HL Ranch is impressive and they have made serious steps to improve the land after the 2020 fire. It is a beautiful landscape, and the ranch is all about preserving and improving the natural wildlife habitat for fauna while sustainably raising grass fed cattle. This place is so beautiful that if I wasn't already married, I'd use this place as my wedding venue. Loved every moment of those mountains.

At least you can opt out and eat elsewhere. We only stopped here because it was getting late and we wanted to say we spent the night in Parachute, Co. But once you've stopped your mind says your tired, just stay. The room was clean and for an older place it was quite comfortable. Two queen sized beds that didn't bother the back and an excellent bath-which had a powerful shower. T.V. was nice and easy to operate even though the cable package sucked, you can't have it all. Besides, after driving for ten hours, nobody was awake to watch it. I bet you can figure this out. There was no fridge, but a freezer. Good thing we didn't put the insulin in there. Come morning, the leftover Jets pizza was not edible for at least an hour. The nice lady (Lori?) popped up a bag of corn, surprisingly at no charge and also had complimentary coffee pods.
