Positive: I’ve stayed here many times when it was known as “Sorensen’s.” This was my first visit under the new ownership running it as “Desolation Hotel.” I liked the addition of free EV charging. The staff were pleasant. I did not care for the “modern” renovation of the office area which felt cold and sterile. I miss the warmth and charm of the old office with its useful, curated collection of local books, field guides, & maps and selection of things to buy. This was much more in keeping with the resort’s purpose, location, and needs of its clientele than the minimalist, slick decor present there now. Some of the modern decor was carried into our cabin but seemed more tasteful there. Dinner in the cafe was good. Appreciated the complimentary glass of wine before dinner.

Negative: I was reminded how noisy it is (esp. outside of winter snow season) with too much vehicular traffic (even in the middle of the night) on the adjacent highway. Our selected cabin (Homestead) directly faced this road with no trees, other buildings to buffer sound so it was especially loud. I realize the resort can’t control this noise but they could acknowledge it and adjust pricing accordingly (quite a bit lower than current rate) and offer quality, complimentary ear plugs in the cabins.

Summary: Served our need for a shower and clean, comfortable bed for the night.

Positive: Wonderful cottages, well-appointed kitchen (amongst the best we’ve seen), comfortable bed. Really fantastic value!

Negative: The property is adjacent to the road, so there is noise from passing traffic.

Positive: Very nice bed and clean room. Lovely bathtub (but not big enough for 2). The grounds itself are pretty , but right next to the highway. Perhaps the bigger rooms in the back are less noisy (but even more expensive). The lady at the check-in was really lovely!

Negative: Very noisy from the highway right next to it. No fridge in the room .. (we could store our food in the fridge from the staff but would have liked a small fridge). No airconditioning.

Summary: Nice room but noisy from the highway nearby
