    Menu for the lodge

    I have mixed feelings writing this review because I have so many special memories here. But, this last visit with my husband made me kinda sad for the lodge. I have been coming for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and many weddings including my own here in 2017. I'm giving 3 stars because the resort has stunning views, lots of hiking, golf and zip-lining activities. The staff is always pleasant when I have dealt with anyone. Where it seems to be slipping is a refresh- it's looking worn, tired and going for 20 years plus its disappointing to see the exact same art, decorations for the holidays and bedding etc in the resort. Updating the resort is certainly in order- the housekeeping was lackluster at the resort as well. Only adding to the worn out, faded feel overall that just kind of depressed me. I see that property is adding other lodging options like the treehouses that are fairly new-but, the original property and lodging interiors could use some revenue. I haven't stayed overnight at the resort since our wedding in 2017- so, this review is based on a day trip for the views and lunch. The service and the food were pleasant enough- but, as noted above and in other reviews posted the parking area is in sad shape and overall the resort feels like Grandma's Mountain Lodge kinda. Like, it's comfy and familiar yet stale & dreary at the same time.

    My husband and I went to their NYE party, stayed 2 nights and had dinner reservations. While the lodge is gorgeous, as well as a beautifully decorated NYE party, the costs for the dinner, drinks, resort fees in Winter, and parking, is outrageous. Our dinners were lunch sized portions. The butternut squash puree was a swipe of squash and the roasted potatoes were tiny and few. The dirty martini added $5 for the olive juice. $18! My dinner was less than warm. For $70 per dinner, that is unacceptable. Resort fees should be less in the winter as you would not use an outdoor hot tub in the rain nor sit around a fire pit. $16 per day for parking. That is outrageous. I would definitely recommend a day trip and buy food in the bar instead of the dining room.

    Broken curb and gravel

    Sorry to say but the Lodge has seen better days and needs a TOTAL refurbishment. We arrived at night and the parking lot and path was dangerously poorly lit. Some areas were pitch dark!! The disabled parking spots are covered with slippery gravel, broken down curbs and might violate ADA standards. The rooms look "tired" and there are scrapes and scratches on woodwork and walls. Maid service does not happen UNLESS requested and that fact is not revealed until you return to an unmade room. What the $(;;$! We enjoyed the employees and the beautiful setting but won't be back until the lodge AND Parking lot are both renovated.

    I really love coming here both in winter and summer. I usually come here for work events and the staff and amenities are wonderful. The Rooms are very cozy and definitely a lodge feel. The beds and sheets are so soft and each room comes with a robe. There are mini fridges and coffee machines in all rooms. If you want a microwave, you can request it and have it sent to your room. There's plenty to do here for the whole family! Scavenger hunts for the lodge are located in the lobby as well as bored games for rent. My favorite part of the hotel is the main lounge area that has a big view window of the gorge. Also the pool and hot tub areas are so amazing. I can't wait until they finish the upgrades this spring 2025. Shoutout to the front desk staff for always being friendly and welcoming! Can't wait until my next trip!

    Hair in bathtub, timestamped 8:13, after room was supposedly recleaned.

    I'll start with be positives. A beautiful location. Simply sunning. Mini-golf was a delight and the food was good. The staff we interacted with were kind and thoughtful. If it weren't for them, this would be a 1-star review. When we arrived yesterday (9/6) to celebrate our 1-year anniversary, we were disgusted to find that our bathroom had not been thoroughly cleaned. In it, we found hair on a towel rack, bath mat, and in the bathtub. Shortly after, when walking to mini-golf, we let the staff know and were assured it would be cleaned up. However, when we retuned in the evening after mini-golf and dinner, the hair was still there. The staff had come to the room, which was clear from the fact that our hand towel and been rehung, but it was not cleaned. I contacted the lodge through its customer service email last night and never heard back. This morning, after receiving our bill, I responded to the email (a named staff member, not an auto-reply) to let them know and to show them time-stamped photos of the bathroom. Three hours later and we just checked out and we have yet to receive a reply. Furthermore, after taking a shower, we learned it was worse than we had thought. The moisture from the shower revealed even more hair. In short, this room cost us over $320 and needed a deep clean. From the thick coat of dust on the bathroom vent to the clear dust on the furniture, and even a cobweb at the bathroom entrance, this room was not clean. It was pretty gross. Furthermore, when we arrived, the front plate of our entry keypad was missing. The front desk assured us this did not compromise the security of the room, and that this was common. But, we didn't see another single room with a missing faceplate (and we walked past several dozen rooms). I've attached photos below, including the time-stamped versions showing the hair when we arrived and after they had supposedly cleaned it. For such a beautiful property with kind staff, I hate to say that I can't recommend this place, but, I can't recommend this place.

    So much fun good value beautiful views !! I wish they had more than 9 holes ! Good snack food decent burgers. Nice carts cool staff !! The breeze feels nice !!

    Dirty tub

    I keep trying this place hoping it'll be better. To be fair, Travis at the front desk was amazing. Very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately there were some issues. It's not ok to say "all fees included" when you book through their website, but then charge for parking and amenities once you get there without them even saying anything to you about them. Who charging for parking?! That alone is a great reason not to come back. I got a vegan burger at the restaurant yesterday and I've been sick to my stomach the last 18-24 hours. I haven't had a stomach issue like this before but it's a bummer. The waitress was nice but lacked knowledge about the menu item, and also brought the wrong food out to my friend with me. I do like some of the decor around Christmas time, but everything is beyond outdated and dirty. For the second time I couldn't use my shower in the bathroom because it was stained brown. I dunno.. I want to love it, but whoever runs this place needs to listen to these reviews like the ones I've seen and figure out how to make some huge changes. It was only 18% capacity when I was there and I can see why.

    we had a fantastic stay at salamons lodge. we spent a few nights in one of the treehouses and glamped like pros. the tent was really beautiful and so was the view. our bed was comfy (and heated!) and the bathtub was such a nice amenity to have. we had a little trouble getting the fire out to light, but the staff was quick to answer via text (such a nice way to get help). we had brunch in the restaurant and talked about the salmon hash all day. the only reason i can't give it 5 stars is because of the persistent train whistle through the night. i live in downtown chicago, so im used to train noise, but this was a lot. the lodge provides a white noise machine and ear plugs, which is thoughtful, but didn't really help. maybe next time we'll do a cabin! because i'd love to come back and stay again.

    Great resort terrible food. For the price of the food the quality is far below satisfactory. The breakfast potatoes were very over cooked, which was extremely disappointing given the fact the buffet cost $20 and potatoes were one of only a few items. The gluten free bread that they served for dinner was disgusting. Low quality sandwich bread I guarantee it. I ordered a burger without cheese (due to an allergy) and they made it with cheese after waiting a super long time to eat I had to wait double the time to get my order right. The salad we ordered had a bad tomatoes. The best part was the service -- all the waiters were lovely-- but that doesn't fill the void in my stomach. The Internet connection was terrible. We tried to watch TV and it was spotty and hard to get work done on the computer as well. The place is lovely and very expensive, it would be nice if they put some of that towards improving the food and internet quality.

    See all

There was no disclosure of a hold on your card of $100. It was Labor Day weekend, and the nights had already been paid for. Let me start in order of events. Let me say this first, if it hadn't been a holiday weekend and we were in the area for a wedding we would have moved on to another hotel, probably without a refund. When we checked in was the first we knew about the $100. There wasn't much we could do but let them put a 'hold' which actually charged and processed it from the bank account. When we went to our room the floor was uneven, I set my rolling suitcase down, it rolled to the other side of the room. They advertised the following: Free Wireless Internet Available - We were not able to get on the internet the entire time we were there. This was very inconvenient. We tried on three different devices. Laundry Facilities - Luckily this was true, though I only saw it as we drove by, so I do not know the condition. Memory Foam Bedding in ALL Rooms - Notice they have capitalized ALL, well if we had memory foam in our room it had forgotten! They were terrible. Jet Tubs in many rooms - We didn't even have a tub let alone a Jet one. A VERY small bathroom with small shower. The bathroom was scary dirty. There was no place to set our toothbrushes and toiletries on. We opened the medicine cabinet, and it was filthy. The toilet was a round one and the seat oblong, so it hung over a few inches. The space between the seat and the tank was all filled with dirt and hair. It makes me sick to think we had to use it. It said they had a hair blower, they did not. The outlet in the bathroom did not even work. I had to plug my curling iron in, in the kitchen. The health department really does need to have a surprise inspection on this property The small kitchen was okay, we didn't really use it. They only had a small garbage can in there and one in the bathroom. We ended up leaving a sack full by the can in the kitchen so as not to leave our wrappers or anything around. The place was left as we found it. When we got home, I called to talk to them about the $100 it took me and my daughter two days to actually get someone to answer the phone. No answering machine, it just rang. When I finally got through the lady was polite but argued with me about the hold. She finally looked somewhere else and found they had charged us. She verified the last 4 digits of the credit card and promised to refund it, and that I would see it yesterday. It has not been refunded. In my opinion this is fraud and/or out and out steeling. I'm contacted the area Chamber of Commerce about what I could do to get the $100 refunded.

    I booked 3 nights and only stayed one night. The place was completely unsanitary to put it lightly…read more The bedding was dirty with blood stains, shower curtain was covered in mold, tub jets were also black with mold, other peoples hair all over the sink and walls, the remote control did not work, TV only had a few channels that were static, and many other things I did not mention.
