We stay right after the primary season closes. It is very quiet and pleasant. But even in the Executive Cabins, some items work fine, and others do not. For example, the gas fireplace did not work properly. I asked maintenance to check on it and they did so promptly. But the next day it failed to light again. I said the heck with it. There is not much hot water for showers or baths. The water heater could not accommodate more than two short showers. You needed to wait another 30 minutes for the water to heat up. Every TV remote had "worn-out" batteries. I bought replacement batteries. The TV's have two remote controls but our grandkids weren't there to show us how to operate the darn TVs. That was our problem.
Nevertheless, we continue to return each after September. We enjoy the surroundings and the quiet.
Finally, I believe that the off season should have a lower price point. The cost is high. Given the number of VRBOs in the area, we may consider one of those next year. Or maybe not.

The place is decent, but they did not make it obvious that all the amenities are seasonal. Definitely not worth the price in the off season, its a mediocre hotel that is miles to the nearest anything. I would have thought at least the bar/restaurant would be open but no.

I loved the location of the Palmer Gulch Lodge. Closed to all the sights we came to see. Beautiful location and the property offered everything we needed - plus! Outdoor pool, pickleball court, dining, specialty stores- ice cream, pizza, fudge, wine/ coffee shop and a singer in the evenings. Plus horseback riding and lessons for the kids. We brought our 14 year old grand nephew and he had so much fun.
The staff at the from desk was extremely helpful in reference to what up see and do. Thank you!
Plus there was a free continental breakfast every morning.
The property is pet friendly and did not charge extra for a pet. We had our cat with us and the staff was very nice to greet her.
The lodge is showing its age in reference to our room. The room temperature was difficult to control and the heating /air unit was very loud. The bathroom light was connected to a very loud fan- not a separate switch so it woke everyone up if you need to use the bathroom - or makes it difficult to hear the TV if someone is in the bathroom. The sink is outside of the bathroom - so not privacy getting ready in the morning or night. The shower head was a misty spray and went everywhere and the bathroom sink was clogged. The rooms are old as well as the linens , blankets and bedspreads. The mattresses were okay but the pillows were very lumpy.
Would I stay again? Yes- because of the location, staff, and amenities. We used the pool everyday and if was well kept and there were plenty of chairs.

The food was limited and restaurant on property wasn’t the best . The ice cream shop was good

The beds and the pillows were hard as rocks. The best bed we had in the room was our cot.
Our toilet ran and barely flushed.
Not worth the price of the rooms here

So much to do to keep kids busy. Rodeo was fun. Only 1 bad experience. Pancake breakfast for $ 3.50 ( don't waste your money) pancakes are terrible.

We had a wonderful stay. Enjoyed the patio in the evenings and the wooded quiet location. Great location to use as a base to visit all nearby parks and monuments. Lodge is away from campground and very quiet. Excellent pool. Staff was friendly and helpful with information
