    We stayed in the campground yurts and loved it. The camp hosts have gone above and beyond to make your stay the best. If you are like me, you will notice the little things that don't need to be done but are done. We could not have been happier...

    Comfortable log-cabin, well equipped small kitchen, good beds, clean, warm and cosy. Pet-friendly. Restaurant (not been there, so no assessment possible). Good value for money.

    The atmosphere was great. Our cabin was very special and the sauna was a pleasure. We went on a couple of terrific hikes right next to the property as well. Unlimited free firewood for our cabin's fireplace as well!

    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”...
