Pros:

They claim to be dog friendly but have nothing but hazards on the grounds for dogs, and a long list of citations if you break their rules. Doesn’t added citations defeat the purpose of leaving your card for incidentals? If my dog ruins something, yes, I’ll pay for it. But don’t treat my dog like a criminal before we even check in.

Gorgeous area. Poorly run facility.

Pros:

The Stay was nice. The only trouble was after checking in we discovered our pooch wasn't allowed in the main lodge where our room was booked. Guest registration was able to switch the booking around to another building to accommodate my pooch. It was a very positive experience. The front desk person was understanding of the mix up. If you have a pooch and book through Expedia, call the resort ahead of time to ensure the reservation is for a pet friendly room. I will book here again. The Continental breakfast was good too.

Pros:

We got there after dark and our cabin wasnt on the property so the way the front desk person told us to get there was confusing and the road to the cabin wasn't lit up and there were no lights on in the cabin so we had a hard time finding it. Once we got in, it was clean just didnt realize we we'd be so far off the property.

Pros:

The property welcomes pets, room was clean and comfortable, breakfast is included, and they also included a chairlift ride to view the beautiful changing colors. The only negative we had is not realizing they were on Central Time and that check in time starts at 4:30 pm.

Pros:

We stayed for 3 nights in a condo unit. The first night my nose and ears itched like never in my entire life. The second night I removed the bedspread and placed onto the patio. Problem solved.
Staff were super helpful. Breakfast was understaffed for the influx of people enjoying fall colors.

Pros:

Was a good stay however is the morning we went to jacks for are free breakfast and watched many sets of people enter and get served and the lady wouldnt even look at my wife, daughter, and I. Needless to say we did not get are free breakfast both mornings. We took this very personal and we were nice to everyone. Some of the people spoke up for us and she still didnt serve us.

Pros:

We stayed at the property while passing through. It is not ski resort season, but we thought we would explore the area. The staff member a young man who lived up the road was very polite. We arrived late, limited people around. The short fall while booking was the restaurants advertised on property, including breakfast made to order. Unfortunately, we stayed at a rate of $145 and anticipated at least breakfast. Knowing this location is going through ownership transition we completely understand and have no complaints as we had the property to ourselves. I suggested the location to my brother-in-law and niece who are avid skiers. Hopefully, we can return to the area and accommodations are aligned with the new ownership expectations.
Thank you

Pros:

Check in was great. We went to our room which was clean and had comfortable beds. The chairlift ride was a lot of fun. That is where the good ended for our stay. The tv in our room and the staff did try to figure it out but she didn’t know how to get it to work. Breakfast the next morning was a joke. The food was not edible and they were understaffed. We could have forgiven the poor service of the food was okay.
For the price we paid to stay here is definitely was not worth it.
