We had a nice time. There was a female waitress to tend to many of us. She deserves a raise and a bonus. She was so professional. She was able to accommodate us to have dinner as we arrived closed to 6PM, and a reservation was needed. It would be nice to have a microwave in the room. Thank you.

We loved staying in the tea house cottage with our infant. Lots of room, beautiful space, quiet. We stayed in early September and enjoyed the beach and some light hiking. We've also stayed here in the winter for skiing/snowshoeing. A great resort!

Enjoyed a couple of days staying at Garnet Hill lodge. The Tea Room was large, clean, and excellent for a family stay. Very convenient to Gore mountain for downhill skiing and offers cross country skiing onsite. Friendly guests and staff made it enjoyable and the view of the lake from the dining room is spectacular. Looking for to another visit soon!

Garnet Hill Lodge was perfect for our ski and snowboard getaway. The lodge staff was extremely friendly, kind and helpful. They made us feel right at home. Check in and check out were super easy. They have their own Nordic Ski trails which were awesome and the complimentary breakfast and sandwich bar for lunch were perfect for a day on the slopes. 10/10 would stay again.
