    What you’d expect in a 100 year old lodge. Rustic, charming, the staff was excellent.

    Our 1 bedroom cabin was really cozy and vintage rustic looking but everything functioned perfectly. There’s a wood burning stove all stocked with wood and a tiny but very functional kitchen with good pots and pans provided. Our cabin was steps away from groomed cross country ski trails and rentals so I could enjoy that when my husband drove over to the downhill skiing a few miles away. Took a Great lesson ! I took the free shuttle to the Village so we could meet for dinner. The desk staff at the lodge were helpful and friendly and called me quickly to let me know we left something behind.

    The mirror in the room but that's just because I know the place is 100 years old.

    The quietness and beautiful scenery. You're surrounded by snow, frozen lakes, pine trees and endless stars at night with the minimal light pollution. My family loved it here. And the staff was genuinely kind.

    A cosy spot to spend our anniversary

    We visited for our anniversary and immediately felt welcomed by Manny at the front desk who made sure our room was ready so we could check in early. Complimentary hot cider while checking in was delightful, our room was perfect, and we enjoyed the cosy vibes of the lodge. In the evening, we wanted to make hot chocolate in our room and the staff at the front desk boiled water for us and provided whipped cream to top it off! What service! We'll definitely be back - perhaps in a cabin next time!

    The apple cider behind the front desk (which was so good!), should be a featured mixed drink with spiced rum when the bar was open. Stretching here: less slippery ice.

    Wonderful location, away from everything but very near everything. The staff, everyone we encountered, were friendly and helpful. And those traction cleats, offered for free, lifesaver!

    There were no TVs or fridges in the room. They did have DVD players they could loan out and a fridge behind the desk they could store things. I also didn’t like that someone wasn’t at the desk all hours.

    The location was very pretty, and the staff was very helpful and nice

    The price is competitive expensive, but no breakfast. With the prices paid, it should include breakfast! It would be nice if we can get some stuff from a convenience store.

    Wifi wasn't great, but we were able to work with it.

    Front Desk, Manny, provided an exceptional service. Took the time to give us directions and advice of the different locations we could visit, which made the trip even better! He was very attentive,kind, and welcoming. We went for lakes and hikes, but it's defenetly a great place for those who like snowboarding.

    A restaurant breakfast option vs continental would make it better yet.

    Rooms are comfortable, the location is spectacular and the staff is exemplary. The staff all have a smile on their face and are happy to help you with whatever you need.

    The pilot light in the stove was flashing so it would wake us up.

    We loved our stay. It was so beautiful. The decor was vintage and quaint. The standout was eating at the Lakefront restaurant. The food was perfectly seasoned and prepared. It was so delicious!

    Most comfortable bed we had in a while during our road trip around the west coast. The crew was friendly (we checked in very late) and I wish we had time exploring the area around the lodge. Even the shared bathroom experience was ok despite us being worried about that beforehand.

    The property itself is very good. The windows were hard to open- 1980s-90s style that are heavy and tricky to use. The staff, for the most part were lovely and welcoming. Breakfast was the issue. Very inefficient. Unnecessary use of plastics for breakfast items. Felt ‘cheap’ in such an elegant place. Guests had to get the attention of the staff, otherwise the staff just seemed to ignore us. I think there needs to be a light buffet for all or, if individually prepared then find an efficient way to do it. Also, don’t share with your guests that the night crew was mistaken and that you treat cabin guests differently - as in they cannot take breakfast in the lobby when there are only 4 guests there at any given time. The vibe in the lobby could be more friendly and inviting. It’s the staff that set the tone. And the staff mostly hang out in the ‘back’ - it’s not welcoming. The staff are great but they need better management and management with a vision of service that is friendly, attentive and at ease.

    The location- near my friends’ place.
