"Beautiful room and lodge. Very comfortable, elegant, spacious, and quiet. Bathroom was large and attractive with all the amenities. Loved the fireplace and large windows.Greg helped us move our luggage to the room, which was available early, to our weary delight. Exceptionally clean. King size bed was wonderfully comfortable. After checkout, staff discovered my husband had left his insulin in mini fridge and delivered it to us before we left the lobby. Truly felt like a refuge after leaving Oktoberfest in Breckenridge!"
