Cute little mountain gem

I loved this hotel. We stayed in the off season so the restaurant was not open. However, staff were very friendly and gave recommendations. The beds were so soft. Room was cleaned everyday which I liked because we brought dirt in our shoes from the hikes. The hot tub was nice, we used it most nights. Wished it could have been a bit hotter but it was cold outside. The kids like the play area in the back. We would stay here again.

I ordered dinner and the restaurant wasn’t open, so I was still charged. You should make sure your website doesn’t allow people to order when the restaurant isn’t open. Hot tub is GROSS and needs service badly. Temperature definitely is not as warm as it says, either.

Nice room, but.

Staff was very nice, room was clean and if I was to complain about anything its that the fireplace didnt work after the first hour of a 2 day stay. I paid extra for it, so it does annoy me that nobody could address it during my stay.

This was a great hotel! The bar was perfect and lots of other amenities like the hot tub, sauna, outdoor area, and vending. The room had a balcony with a great view. Bed was soft with great linens. I liked the soaps and shampoos in the room. The room itself was very spacious with lots of room to sit and get dressed for snowmobiling. Walk to the rental shops. I will definitely stay there again!
