Cougar Canyon Lodge & Escape Hotel Lounge & Restaurant

Stayed here one year ago today. Ate at the bar, service was good, people were very friendly and the food was very good. Stayed in the motel which was like a typical motel and the kind that I prefer. Had an issue with the billing of the room but it has been resolved. Location is in the mountains and very scenic. I would rather stay in place like this than in any city anywhere.

Rooms are ok. Showers were a mess. (Mold). But the location and the bar and grill are excellent. Great beer selection on tap and whiskey options were good. Food was surprisingly great! Everyone was very friendly. I recommend this place highly.

We arrived shortly after 7pm. The owner greeted us, showed us our room, and offered to have the chef cook us a meal even though the kitchen was closed. They brought the food and wine to the room. I got the tenderloin steak, which they said they cut themselves, and it was absolutely excellent. Incredible hospitality, and a wonderful meal — much needed after a long journey. To receive such great service after arriving late is spectacular. I only wish we could’ve stayed longer!

Once the Cubs Den, changed a little.. still the same welcoming vibe.. changing hands again, looking forward to seeing what the new owners do!!

First of all, when we arrived our reserved and paid for room was already booked. We had to take a down grade. The owner said our drinks would be comped to make up the price difference. That didnt happen! Maybe a third of a roll of toilet paper in the room. No extra rolls. One bath towel. The frozen breakfast sandwiches and juice that they seem to brag about a lot were not in the room. Although the caretaker was able to put down his 12th beer and get us some towels. Dinner was a tragedy! The walleye was swimming in at least a half inch of butter pooled up on the bottom of the plate. The mashed potatoes tasted like they had taco seasoning mixed in! When this was brought to the servers attention she remarked very rudely "in five years no one has ever said the walleye wasnt excellent"! The bar
