not handicap friendly
The lodge was nice , the staff was very helpful and friendly. My problem is mostly about the booking agent I did it on line and specifically explained that we needed a handicap room as we use a walker and need grab bars in the bathroom. The stool was very low so I had to help her to get up of the stool. The room they had us in at first was on the 2nd floor so the ladies had to shuffle the rooms around as the rooms were all booked so it took about 45 min. to get it done as they had to move 8 rooms

8/10 Very good

Staff was great, the amenities & grounds were nice, and the restaurant onsite was good. My only complaint was we had sketchy plumbing in our room. The toilet didn’t flush well (even after I let the front desk know), and the water pressure was low in the shower. That was unfortunate and uncomfortable . The lodge is in a convenient location for sure but they should get the plumbing situated.

Carpets were filthy in the stair/halls. No elevator. Nice restaurant and sleeping areas. Spendy for what you get-our lodge was so small we couldn’t hardly fit our suitcases on the floor. Great location if skiing

Make sure you have all of your check in informatio
We had a slight misunderstanding at the front desk upon check in. Once we got the issue figured out, rather than moving past it, the front desk employee began an unprofessional and incredibly rude rant at how it was my fault that it took so long. All the while she was trying to have two conversations on the phone with a customer and another person. I completely understand if someone is overwhelmed that it may get a little tense but it was completely uncalled for. The rest of the lodge staff were incredibly helpful and pleasant! A special thanks to our morning front desk employee. She was incredibly sweet. The rooms could’ve been cleaner however. There was hair and just general dust everywhere.
