Silver Fork Lodge & Restaurant

If you’re looking for the comfort and frills of a chain hotel, this is not it! This lodge is owned by the mayor, and is quaint and quirky. I absolutely loved this as a nice getaway from the valley, the heat and the crowds. Didn’t know that the restaurant closes after lunch on a Monday, but we were able to find a pizza place open up the road. Breakfast was amazing.

This is a small 7-room property which operates primarily as a restaurant/bar, which was closed by 9pm. The staff was very nice and friendly. The rooms are rustic/quaint in decor and there is heat but no A/C. FREE BREAKFAST is included and it’s VERY GOOD! Not just a limited menu or a small buffet, but access to the FULL MENU. I had steak & eggs every morning and it was always top notch. There is no actual front desk, so I checked in with the restaurant personnel. This is basically a bed & breakfast, but instead of private owners, it’s run by the restaurant. I was part of a wedding group and we had a great time. Don’t expect fancy or full-featured… it’s more comfortable and rustic. But the price (I paid about $120/night was very reasonable for the area and the included breakfast makes it a VERY good value.

This is the perfect spot if you are looking for an economical place to stay in between ski days. The attached restaurant makes meals and apres drinks very convenient, and the staff is beyond friendly!

Definitely felt the age of the place, old wooden doors(a hallway closet door was hanging off the hinges). Our room was at the end of the hall, next to a curtain which hotel supplies. No TV's or alarm clock in the room. Sharing the entrance to the lounge with that of the restaurant, didn't fell cozy at all. Bar maid was also the front desk, which was odd. We did eat there one night, and the prices were outrageous for the quality of food. No elevator, so if your elderly, or have an injury, the narrow steps up to the rooms were a challenge. BUT, the rooms were clean, and location to lifts for the price, you can't beat.

It is beautiful in the mountains! Lots of hiking and a gorgeous patio to sit in. The room has black mold all over the walls in the bathroom, so we had to leave early because I’m allergic to mold.

This property has two great features. First the public bus stops in front of the hotel and the ride is 5 minutes to Solitude. Second, the food in the restaurant is great value. Portions are made for mountain men. Unfortunately, these positives are balanced out by negatives. The property was was acceptable 40 years ago when skiing and staying in the canyon was still bohemian. Since the owner has not made any significant investment in the real estate. The place needs simple things like sound insulating windows (the building is 20 feet from what has become a very busy road) and removal of the wood burning fireplace in the lodging area that leaves you smelling like smoke and wishing for clean air. A hot tub would be a nice feature, but with nobody but restaurant staff who one or two also act as lodging managers. there is no one to keep the chemicals in the water balanced. Bottom line, the building has exceeded its economic life. The owner knows this and that it is a tear down for a new mixed use development. Any money invested is unwise. He is just keeping it running to live on the cash flow until someday when he decides to sell for redevelopment.

Check in was random, hap hazard, unprofessional and lacking basic & needed information. Girl gave us wrong key and didn't explain that second key was to side entrance and needed after 8:00pm.

Nice rustic style motel, the restaurant is excellent, it sits in a terrace with great view, super service. The breakfast is included, it is delicious and eggs & bacon are on the menu.

Lovely staff. Brand new room. Very nice stay!

The worst property I've ever been too, heater on all the time, tne noise from the road awful

I was excited to stay at the Silver Fork Lodge, it was very close to ski resorts and was sold on its rustic look. Boy was I fooled. First, let me say this if for the lodge only, the restaurant was fine and food was good. I now know why they dont put many pictures on on the website of the rooms. I stayed in the family suite, upon checking it, I was immediately taken aback by the number of space heaters in the room. I then knew why, the main heat in the bunk bed room did not work at all. The heater in the main room, worked, but looked extremely old and the thermostat fell apart when adjusting the heat. Next on the list was the shower curtain, upon opening it, the rod fell completely off the wall and I was unable to repair myself. Lastly the noise, this place is right on the road and every car that comes by sounds like its in your room. This place is in serious need of renovations, specifically because I think its a major fire hazard waiting to happen. I booked 4 nights. and left after 1, It was that bad. Upon my complaints, I was asked if it was the no TV's that was my issue, no it was not, I was aware of that going in to it. Also no mini fridge in the rooms, even though that was not a major issue. I didn't even fight the refund as their policy is clear, although I feel like I should have been offered a partial. I hope this review can help others.

Loved the restaurant and staff, loved the surroundings, very beautiful in the canyon; just a bit noisy from other rooms but i understand its a very old building. Overall a wonderful visit!

We loved this rustic lodge: nothing at all fancy but the beds are cozy, water was hot and the adorable restaurant was the best! We will definitely return on our next ski trip!

Very basic accommodations but great food and friendly staff.

We were so happy with our stay here. Room was pretty standard with bed, dresser and bathroom. The location is perfect. There is a bus stop right at the lodge to take you to and from the mountains for free. The restaurant served amazing food and we ate there every night. Any entree on their breakfast menu is included if you stay overnight making it the best breakfast at a hotel we have ever had. We will be staying here again next time we visit for the slopes.

Very rustic and charming, perfectly priced, and great proximity to the ski resorts.

We really enjoyed our stay in this cozy gem near Brighton and Solitude Mountains!
