Pro's: clean. great views bright with windows. it was close to plenty of hiking and cross-country skiing.
Cons: the room we were in - needed a new mattress a decade ago. I see they are updating the rooms with sound proofing etc. but the bedding should be a priority. I would have asked to have the room switched if I laid on it earlier when we checked in.

Fabulous lodge for a mountain getaway with easy access to nature and trails. Rooms are spacious and well appointed. Staff are wonderful. If I could suggest one improvement, it would be having more of a pantry type market onsite since the only nearby restaurant (which is fabulous) closes quite early! Would absolutely stay here again.

Such a nice little place to relax and hide away. The staff truly make the lodge! Eric was super helpful with a late check in and personal touches of handwritten notes as well as knowing customers by name at breakfast. The rest of staff was equally accommodating and friendly. The lodge was under some construction with upgrades during our stay, but the quality and experience never missed a beat. Will certainly come back to see the finished product!
