Four Stars – Spacious and Comfortable, but Some DrawbacksThe Happy Lodge is a spacious and inviting home with large windows, a well-stocked kitchen, and good climate control in most areas. The common space is large and comfortable, and the location is convenient and easy to access.However, soundproofing is poor—running the dishwasher or laundry at night can be disruptive. Most beds are too soft and not very supportive. Heating works well overall but isn’t great in the bathrooms. Also, guests must take their trash with them, which isn’t mentioned beforehand and is a major inconvenience.Overall, it’s a nice place, but better communication and a few improvements would make it even better.

The cabin truly felt lived in, so cozy warm and inviting. Christina was super helpful and available. It was the perfect cozy get away to the mountains, and I will certainly be coming back, with more than 2 people this time, so much space!!

We absolutely love Happy Place Lodge, and would come back again in a hot minute. The lodge was inviting, with wraparound decks and lovely furniture, new appliances and amenities that made our stay so comfortable and peaceful. The host, Christina, couldn’t be nicer. It was our first time to the area, and we found everything we needed close by, such as good restaurants, markets, gorgeous sites, historical landmarks, trails and lakes, and interesting and fun activities.
this is a very cute cabin, so well equipped. The host was really good at communicating, responded within 5 minutes. The cabin was very cozy, we had a great stay.
Wanted to hit up Leland for snow play, but an atmospheric river derailed our plans = no worries as we had more time to enjoy this amazing space!!!
