No one at office, could not check in
We arrived at 8 pm. There was no one at the office or on site to check us in. Tried calling the office, no answer. Other guests tried to help, but to no avail. We had driven several hours through the mountains, but could not check in. Called hotels.com and they refunded with no fee, no questions asked. We ended up driving to the next town, and changed our weekend plans. It was disappointing after reading about the ranch online.

Facelift Needed
Agree with recent visitors and their comments regarding how disappointing this once spectacular lodge was. I didn’t want to believe the negative reviews but they were all what we experienced. We stayed in one if the lodge rooms. Carpet dirty, tub and shower needs repair, lighting poor. Did not experience mice...but tons of gnats. Poor fishing conditions....

Everyone at Harmel's Ranch was very friendly and helpful. I was disappointed that the restaurant and the lounge were totally closed and unavailable due to the fact that they were closing in 2 weeks for the winter. I feel that I should have been made aware of this in advance. There was also no phone in the room or 24 hour assistance. With little to no cell service in this area, I feel that this is a possible safety issue. That said, I would return in the future, just earlier in the season.

We didn’t get in. We called at 7:30 pm to confirm we were on our way. No one answered. We left a message telling them we would be there at 9:00. When we arrived at 9:00, no one answered the door. It was closed and dark. Then we called again, no one answered the phone again. We ended up going to Gunnison to stay the night. e would like a refund.

6/10 Good

Loved the location, staff was very friendly.Ultimately, my primary frustration involved booking this room and then receiving a call days later indicating that the Expedia site did not have the most up to date availability, thus the room I had booked for $135 was no longer available (despite my being able to book it online) and my only choice was a room for $179. At this point, my options for finding availability anywhere else was severely limited unless I wanted to pay $230+ a night. I really had no choice but to accept this. I did ask if they would be willing to honor the price I was quoted and booked and was told no, as the room I booked was a motel room and the new room was a cabin. While I fully appreciate that detail, it isn't my fault or responsibility to ensure availability is up to date on online booking sites. I liken it to something being advertised at an incorrect price - that isn't the consumer's fault and their decision to make a purchase is contingent upon the advertised price. Most companies will honor the quoted price given it is their error, versus expecting the consumer to suck it up. This put me in a position to pay more than expected and left me little time to make other arrangements. I honestly feel the company or their online booking site (Expedia) should have accepted responsibility for the error and honored the original price. Not doing so left me with a very poor impression and experience.

Beautiful location! On the river a ways out of town. Facility is a bit older but comfortable. Nice game room. Great nearby hiking Horse back ride fun with Dave as a great wrangler. Not all cabins have kitchens so make sure you clarify what you need.

Harmel’s is in a beautiful location and gave us good access to the Gunnison area. However, when we arrived we walked into our room which had not been cleaned, sheets were still dirty, old coffee was in the coffee pot, gum wrappers on tables and bugs were in our bed. SO GROSS! When we told the guy at the office he said - “oh would you like me to spiffy it up real quick?” Really? How about you actually clean the room between guests. We had even arrived late so they had plenty of extra time. Staff were also few and far between and we did not see housekeeping at all While we were there - we had trash cans overflowing by the end of our stay. Needless to say we were disappointed.

The area is beautiful!!!!, but that's it. Our room was dirty, rundown, smelly, and old. No one came to clean, give us clean linens, new coffee, for coffee maker. Nothing!!! They have a restaurant on site, they told us they had a buffet breakfast for $12.00 per person, we go down for our breakfast buffet, which consist of cold eggs, no toast, cold hash browns, and cold bacon!!!!! They still charged extra for coffee!!! The people that work there don't care for anything!!! This place could really be special if the right people were running it. So SAD!!!!

Call first to confirm details
The desk charged us more than the rate advertised by $7 per night. The “main menu” was not available in the dining hall yet, as they were running behind on the start of “peak season “. The staff was excellent however and the location is outstanding.

Cabin was quaint but in need of upgrading. Carpet was disgusting. Glad I had my slippers. Would not walk on it without shoes or slippers. Walls very thin. Felt like we were in the same room with the cabin next door. I critter kept us up half the night. Was either trying to get into our doughnut box or was in the wall scratching to get out. Sounded like he was in the room, but didn't see him. Had to sleep with the bathroom light on to keep him quiet. Large window in front let cold air in as it wan't even sealed to the window frame. Would only stay here again in the facilities were redone.

No reservation when we arrived although Harmel's had sent confirmation. Had to wait 45 minutes while a room was cleaned. Pool was freezing cold and filthy. Hot tub was OK but could tell water hadn't been changed in awhile. Cabin was clean but beds uncomfortable and carpets stained and frayed. Harmel's use to have amazing food...no longer...very mediocre and service struggled. Game room, restaurant etc. smelled heavily of smoke. It does sit on a river in a beautiful area. Too bad owners haven't kept it up. Will be staying at other resort cabins along the river next time.
