My service score is 1 star because there wasn't any, but I think that was the point for what we rented, so it was basically self service. The rooms are adorable but in summer, HOT. Location was nice! Very pretty. Close to town. I've never stayed in a lodge before and I loved it. So did my kids.

We enjoyed a fully stocked kitchen with 2 large fridges and 3 stoves. A large movie room next to a large 150 seat conference room where we served 3 days of meals. The lodge was clean and cozy. We enjoyed the big discount to Bear River Resort provided by the lodge. Oh, and there is a piano. Craig Riverton Ut.

Just had our big family vacation here and it was amazing! Denise was flexible (even when I messed up a date) and easy to reach. The camp host for the weekend (Shar, I think) was very kind and helpful.

One of our favorite places we’ve had our reunion at❤️

Wonderful under-the-radar family-operated RV camping area. Well maintained. Large lawn area. Full hookups or tent camping available. You can hear the rushing river throughout the camp, and there's a great restaurant right next door.

The food is quite good and the staff that served us was kind and forthcoming with napkins, and water refills. The Oni n rings were breaded rather odd...not necessarily bad but certainly different from normal onion ring expectations. The scones were deliciously chewy and only lightly browned so it was almost doughy but right on the edge of doneness that I appreciate the balanced effort in. The sce... The food is quite good and the staff that served us was kind and forthcoming with napkins, and water refills. The Oni n rings were breaded rather odd...not necessarily bad but certainly different from normal onion ring expectations. The scones were deliciously chewy and only lightly browned so it was almost doughy but right on the edge of doneness that I appreciate the balanced effort in. The scenery outside is breathtaking and the stream nearby offers pleasant white noise. The only gripe was the seating in direct sunlight. We were assured it would only be ten minutes before the sun would disappear. We used the sun to shade finger technique (look towards the sun and put the base of your hand against the item that will offer you shade such as a roof. Each finger between the shade source and the sun is 15-ish minutes) and it was more like half an hour until we were no longer sweaty and had become reasonably comfortable. If you go past 5 and you are seated near the rock wall along the river be sure to insist on a shade source or be prepared to bake in the sun (it was the 4th of July weekend when we went). Everything else was a rustic reprieve with well groomed cooking techniques that I appreciate and value. Thanks for reading.
