Overall I'm glad we picked this hotel. The staff at the hotel were super nice! The floor in our room was a bit squeaky, but we barely heard anything from the floor above us. The pool was a very comfortable temperature and the sauna felt good. They had a heavy snow early on the day we checked in, so we were glad to have a lower level to park in!

This was a very cute and quite nice stay. There are a lot of stairs if you don’t have great mobility that may be a consideration.

I was very disappointed in this lodge I booked thru Hotels.com. The condition was terrible we didn’t get into our room until late or we would have left then we slept there and checked out the next morning I asked for a refund but was told I would have to go thru hotels.com I am shocked that Hotels.com would have this on their site and it show an excellent rating

The room was small and the "kitchenette" was two electric stove top burners with a recirculating hood that was about 10 inches above the burners, but it worked for cooking mac and cheese and pancakes! The room was clean and the indoor pool, jaccuzi, and mega lodge -even with the outdated and some broken arcade machines- was super fun for the family. I would stay here again in a heartbeat to be 5 minutes from Sugar Mountain and Hawks Nest tubing.
