  : Food was fantastic
  : We only saw maid service once. We were there for a week and had to ask for our trash to be dump and for clean towels.

  : The breakfast was great. The room was cozy.
  : The bed was a little lumpy. There was just a space heater for heat. So the room was very cold and took a few hours to get to a comfortable temperature.

  : Staff was excellent - very helpful and accommodating.
  : Rooms are very spartan, no frills. Transaction didn't go through from Booking.com, but luckily they still had a room available (but not the one I had booked - that was disappointing). The food was okay, but not super amazing for the price.

  : The place is super cozy, with a very log cabin feel, having a warm wood stove in a public sitting area and big fireplace always going in the dining room. The sauna is big, hot, and pristine. One of the highlights is the free breakfast consisting of anything on their excellent menu, and I particularly enjoyed the bananas Foster French toast. Although inconvenienced by the restaurant being closed a couple nights a week, they left us very tasty complementary sandwiches, which was a nice touch. Staff were warm, welcoming, and helpful. The location is gorgeous, and with a car, would be ideal...please see below for our experience without a vehicle.
  : The location, while normally a highlight of the property, in our case caused us significant difficulty without having a car. We had read somewhere that the hotel ran a shuttle to Solitude/Brighton, but that apparently is no longer being offered - it would have made our stay MUCH better. The lodge is on a ski bus stop, but actually getting onto a bus proved problematic. The buses are not super reliable currently, and often were 100% full by the time they arrived at our stop, having filled up down in town (or up at the mountain, in the case of us trying to catch a downhill one on the day of our departure). The driver in those cases waved us off and sped by, leaving us to wait 30-60 minutes, walk, or find another means of transit. It was also an inconvenience that many of the outlets in our room either didn't work or were so worn out the plugs wouldn't stay in them without being propped by something.

  : Loved how its nestled among the trees and so close to Silver Lake and Ski Resorts. Its very rustic and quaint No central air or heat, but they provided a space heater. Friendly and welcoming!
  : More comfortable beds, more lights that worked. More ADA accessible.

  : Charming log lodge in the cooler Cottonwood Canyon southeast and at higher elevation but only a half hour from Salt Lake City. The lodge has a wonderful restaurant with outdoor seating among the trees and an excellent chef. We had the tomato onion jam pork chops which were great, and a very good breakfast. Staff was attentive and helpful. Our bed was comfortable and we had a good shower.
  : Our room had a fan but no air conditioning so was a bit warm and stuffy. The room was small and being older did not have many electrical outlets. Also no TV, but that was not a problem for us. A balcony would have been wonderful but probably hard to add to an old lodge.

Very Poor

  : Do NOT USE BOOKING DOT COM FOR THE SILVERFORK LODGE. I got confirmation of reservation and even messaged them thru the system asking about where to park...and received a reply.,I got there snd they could tell I had used booking. Com, but had no room for me. Even tho the confirmation shows pay at checkin. Was a punch in the gut to have to figure out a very expensive last minute place to stay. The person at the desk said they have had issues with booking. What I don't understand is since I messaged them ahead using booking and if they knew they had problems, why didnt they check that my room was held. Super disappointed and am only listing all this so others can know and they can do better on reservations.
