Perfect getaway

The check in didn’t provide much information but the shuttle drivers were full of great information about the skiing, the lodge and things to do in town. Chris and Blake knew all the best stuff. The lodge had great amenities like massage and hot tub which we enjoyed after skiing into and out of the lodge for full days on the slopes.

We loved our stay here. The lodge is adorable and perfect for a ski getaway. Breakfast is high quality and better than most continental breakfasts. My kids loved the mini Nutella spreads. The rooms were perfect and as described. The resort was true ski in ski out and they also offered a convenient shuttle to the base lodge. Hot chocolate and popcorn snack was an awesome bonus every afternoon. We will definitely consider coming back.

Really enjoyed my stay here. The fireplace was always being tended to. The breakfast hours and selection were good. Hot chocolate,cookies and popcorn after returning from snowboarding all day was chef's kiss. The hot tub was huge and steam room were amazing to relax in. The rooms were spacious. Shower pressure great and hot water that did not run out. Full size coffee maker in our room was nice! Beds were comfortable with extra pillows. Having a ski room (for equipment) was top tier! And ski in ski out!!! ❤️ Dan at the front desk was extremely helpful.

After staying here for 4 nights, I would definitely recommend Kandahar Lodge. All of the staff was very friendly and knowledgeable when asking questions about the ski resort. The rooms were nice and everything was well kept. Breakfasts were simple but offered something for everyone and did the job. The jacuzzi and steam room were a nice bonus!

This property is truly one-of-a-kind, and the staff members are exceptional. The convenience of having breakfast available each morning is a great start to the day, and the beautiful ski trails are just a few minutes away. The hot tub, open until late in the evening, is the perfect way to unwind after a day of skiing or snowboarding. We highly recommend this place and will definitely be returning next year! The location, perched at the top of the mountain, offers breathtaking views and an unforgettable experience. The staff treat guests like family, making you feel right at home. If you’re a fan of skiing or snowboarding, this is the ideal spot to stay.

The Lodge is cozy and comfortable. Wonderful fireplace in the main room. Really friendly and helpful staff. Good access to the ski lifts. It was advertised to have bar and restaurant but doesn't, both are currently closed. The bathtub shower needs a grab bar or 2. The continental breakfast had good options but the breakfast room is small and frequently all tables are occupied.
