“I had mixed feelings about booking based on the reviews. My expectations were dialed down. As you approach the lodge, the vermillion cliffs are a stunning backdrop to behold. We arrived near sundown…I’d recommend that time of day for maximum visual effect.The lodge is under some renovation at present. Not sure how many rooms have been renovated and there was no visible activity on the rooms; however, The restaurant at the lodge was closed and under heavy renovation. They recommended another place up the road called cliff dwellers. That place turned out to be kinda awesome in its own right. Our rooms were 308/309 and both were quite nicely redone. Those rooms face towards the Navajo bridge that is nearby, but you can’t see it from the lodge. Still very close by.All in all, we were pleased with the accommodations and limited service we required. The rooms could use a little attention regarding loose screws and such, but nothing broken or concerning. Very cozy and quiet and clean. My expectations were met and surpassed and got great value for my dollars.If you are a needy traveler and require lots of pampering and concierge services, I’m afraid this isn’t for you.If you like quaint, quiet, and nicely updated for a very fair price, I highly recommend this place. It’s very remote and in a beautiful location and the owners seem interested in making it nice.”
