Yes, the old version of the base lodge is better looking as seen from a distance, outside, but it had terrible visibility looking out the windows for people inside.

The new building has a much better view, looking outside, and just like Elvis, the view is now inside the building ..... looking outdoors.

So, what matters more, how the building looks as a building, or how it is good to use for people inside the building?

Is like the difference between a two seat sports car, and a four door hatchback sedan or suv.

Agree that a fireplace with real wood logs for burning is way better than faux propane logs, but real wood needs a lot of minding the fire, and propane does not.
