I like that the resort is far from people, cars, highways. Is situated in the middle of nothing with lots of trees/forest all around, not a lot of people.in facility, in the pool, outside and inside. Is very peaceful, deer are coming close to be seen. The buildings are not in very good condition, but every time we are there, I can see that the rooms are painted, new carpets, new tiles in the bathrooms, on the wall and on the floor, comfortable beds with nice clean sheets, even TVs are much better then before. I would wish for a refrigerator in the room without request it and much cleaner pool outside but overall we had a good, peaceful, relaxing time at comfortable price.

Fresh Paint

Rot is taking over the buildings on the property. Around the buildings on the grounds are evident water lines from flooding which draw attention to moss or algae crusted and rotting wood and exposed rusted metal. The rot is evident even on the inside. The indoor pool area has three mushrooms and one shelf fungus growing on the ceiling. If you inspect the area you can see evidence of other fungi that were removed. Every building would benefit from some TLC and paint.

More than we could have hoped for at this place. Sure, it could use some updates, but they make the most of what they can here. It would take an army of shipped in workers to really whip this giant place into shape. Excellent breakfast buffet at Dantes. Friendly staff even though they were short handed.

The room was outdated and disgusting. Did not feel as if it was cleaned at all. We ended up staying at a different hotel. The skiing is definitely the only plus side of this resort.

Booked a room with Expedia. Upon check-in, two members of the hotel staff, one a manager, told me the room was a higher rate than what I booked and I owed a balance. However, neither staff member could explain why they were charging me more. In fact, the female manager was blatantly rude and asked me if I wanted the room or not.

Overall property was in good condition. Beds were comfortable. Only problem we had steps to go up and down and couldn’t get valet cart past a certain point. No biggie but was not convenient. Everyone was so accommodating and helpful. Mask policy was loosely enforced.

not a great experience

Our room felt like it was in the basement. Nothing special about the room. We were in a no smoking room section but there were people smoking in their room. Plus there was a party going on with many drunk people talking loud and knocking on doors. I will not go back to this place
