"This hotel is super nice, it just the town itself it is super boring, and the few places are super death, no fun in the town but other then that, great food at the hotel's restaurant."

10/10 Excellent
"Everything was absolutely perfect. The host was very friendly and welcoming and ploughed the snow on the track to the lodge every day. The lodge exceeded our expectations in every way; size, amenities, presentation, quality. It was incredibly accessible for my dad, who is in a wheel chair. It was a really magical place to stay - especially when the snow fell! Really, really loved the place! "
