Silver Fork Lodge & Restaurant

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.

Excellent food and staff. Staff was knowledgeable about the area, offering good advice, suggestions. Expectations for a rustic lodge fully met. The sourdough pancakes and bison burger are incredible!

Bathtub floor was a bit bowl shaped, rather than flat. Had to be careful to not slip. Some anti-slip material might be helpful. Late breakfast start time - had to skip breakfast a couple days in order to avoid the traffic going up to the ski resorts. And, missing those sourdough pancakes is a crime!

The location wasn't bad; however, it did require a car or bus to get to the ski slopes. Breakfast was awesome, as was dinner. The wood stove in the Lodge lobby was nice to read by.

Our room could have used a little more prep before we arrived. We were short some towels, the sink drained slowly and dripping water from the ceiling, which stopped by that night, was caught in a trashcan that was balanced on the tub. I would say that while the bed was old, it was not terribly uncomfortable. All in all it was worth the cost.

The breakfast menu was excellent, pancakes, waffles, and even steak and eggs, with lovely coffee. The main restaurant had a great selection of meals, steak, fish and chips, meatloaf, Salads, and more, the outside seating area was lovely. We added a third night, we liked it so much. The staff were great, Alex, Sam, and Graham to name a few, who gave good local advice, on walks, and places to visit in the local area. Fly fishing on the Provo river 30 minute drive away.

The room was a bit small and dated, but we didn't spend that much time in there, so it wasn't a problem.

The location is great, a nice place to stay that isn't part of a ski resort complex. The historic (built in 1943) nature of the lodge makes it fun. Enjoyed the breakfast, and it being included in the lodging cost makes the cost a better deal. The bed was comfortable, the room was warm, the water was hot.

The room is pretty basic, no fridge, microwave, or TV. The fixtures are quite dated, but in a way, this is a part of the character of the lodge.

Room was a bit small, but was cozy and clean and so cute. We spend a lot of time in the common areas which were great. The complimentary breakfast was at the Lodge restaurant and was fantastic.

The queen bed took up so much of the room that we hit our legs on the bed corners multiple times walking across the room. This is really the only criticism we had. Everything else was great and the lodge is perfect if you are into cute and funky but "good funky" not "bad funky"

I loved the food and drink they served for breakfast and lunch. They also took special care of my very late arrival by leaving a personalized note on the door for me even though staff couldn't be there to welcome me so late.

The toilet had an issue with getting stuck on the flushing mechanism and the AC unit was a little old in-the-window box which actually left a gap to the outdoors always open. It wasn't really an issue except in the mornings because I could hear people/staff out on the patio when I was trying to sleep in just a bit.

Best complimentary breakfast I’ve ever had at a stay! Seriously, I’m going to be thinking about those Sourdough flapjacks for a long time. Plus, everyone who we interacted with at Silver Fork was so positive, easy going, and warm. As a bonus, the cabin ambiance is just spectacular. Overall, this place is not to miss!!

The size of rooms are pretty small and the walls are thin.

the breakfast was awesome. the employees were also awesome

had a very hard time finding out where to check in. would never have guessed in a million years that it was the pub/bar register. Finding out how to get to the room was another maze puzzle. We had to ask repeatedly the very busy workers where the dickens to go. LOL

The location is incredible, easy to access from the city, hiking around, and so close to skiing! The (included) breakfast is PHENOMENAL! We ate like kings!

The room is old school/average, your basic cabin type place. No tv in the room (which was ok with us) but might bother some people. The restaurant was ok for lunch and dinner-- breakfast is the best though.
