The place is on the busy highway so that it gets noisy. Also there is no room service or linen service. You have to bring your own or pay extra for linen and towels.
I stayed in one of the suites for a week for work. After a long day out in the cold and wet it was so nice coming back to my room. The rooms are comfortable and come with any kitchen items you may need. My favorite part about my suite was the gas fire place that would kick on to warm the room. My only complaint is the clock in the room would tick rather loudly at night. Other than that my stay was great. Definitely will be back.
Very clean and comfy sitting room, and comfy mattresses. Nice place to stay and well located.
One wrinkle that we thankfully were able to overcome (with the owner’s eventual help) was that they attempted to charge us extra per person for linens(!). After paying plenty per night on Expedia for a “luxury” suite, we were shocked at this request, especially when the Expedia listing specifically said that linens were included. It felt like gouging and bait-and-switch.
Apparently the owners aren’t happy with the money they net from Expedia, but that’s something they’ll need to work out on their own, without attempting to squeeze guests without full disclosure upfront. Hopefully they’ll add “Linens Not Included” in caps at the top of their Expedia listing and what the extra fee is. Or better yet, just include linens and raise the room price if they have to.
Good news is that the owners in the end waived the attempted extra fee. And the place was nice and totally met our needs.
But the exchange felt a bit gaslighty (eg owner said “some people miss that in the Expedia listing”, which is exactly the opposite of what happened - there was nothing to miss).
My impression is that a better rate (for the owners and hopefully for guests too) could be obtained by calling the property directly, outside of Expedia, but I’m not sure of that.
We liked the place a lot, and the owners did make the right call when questioned. So we would recommend it to fellow travelers!
We were in town for hiking at the PA Grand Canyon. Cute little modem suite with rustic charm. No problems at all. Caretaker were communicative. Found a few good locals restaurants nearby, did some hiking, and a wagon ride. Nice area to relax. Didn't see Sasquatch. 😕😀
Room was cute, clean, comfortable. There is no one on site to check you in. You call a number posted on a building, that was a little odd but we figured it out.
This is our 3rd time staying at Rough Cut Lodge, first time in this suite. We love the quietness of the area. We enjoy the small kitchen with all we could need to make meals while staying there. The rooms are beautiful and have many amenities that make it feel like home. We enjoy being able to stay connected with WIFI and some television to occupy our boys if needed. Michelle is a phenomenal person to work with and talk to about your booking. We have already booked a different suite for January!
No one was there to greet me at hotel, they use electronic check in. No one sent me information on my room number, luckily a housekeeper was there to help me figure it out. Oddly, sheets weren’t included in my room. I had to Venmo $10 for them - this should be included on the listing! Then, when I arrived, there were no sheets on the bed. I was told they’d Venmo me back for the charge - still waiting. The door didn’t open after putting on the code - apparently you had to turn the latch a particular way - would have been nice to have a note about that. Felt like the customer service was nearly nonexistent.
