Why we picked it
We would book it for the rhythm of the day it allows: a hike to String Lake or Hidden Falls from the cabin, an afternoon on a cruiser bike along the park pathway, and a five-course dinner at the lodge without driving anywhere. It is a rare chance to sleep well inside a national park, and the lodge keeps TVs out of the rooms on purpose.
