It is in a woods setting, beautiful scenery, and a lodge feeling inside. It is a little far from the main part of town. We are a more mature couple so carrying our things upstairs was a little challenging. Overall a pleasant experience.

I was very disappointed in Kelly at the front desk. She did tell me I was too early to check in 1:30 pm and I could relax in the lobby, which I did. She told me she'd get me as soon as my room was ready. I saw Kelly leave at 3:05 Pm and a new you man take over the desk. I walked up and he told me mine and all rooms where ready. Hence - Kelly just left me sitting and was only focused on when she got off of work for the day!

The staff at the Kandahar were top notch! The property is not the newest on the mountain, but they addressed any issues that we had. We had rowdy neighbors on our first night and we called down to the front desk and they shut them down immediately! I would gladly stay here again!

Older but well maintained lodge. In-house shuttle was a lifesaver. Great breakfast. Very friendly and helpful staff. Only complaint was that we were expecting the kitchenette to include a stove. It did not, so we had to eat out every single day at some point, which meant a drive into town and a waitlist most nights.
