What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Fun Skiing Experience

During my stay, I found the ski facilities fantastic. The hotel had an effective shuttle that transported us to the ski hill every 15 minutes which made it super convenient. The ski lessons available were well organized, with group lessons priced affordably at $26. My girlfriend and I enjoyed the bunny hills, especially the moving rubber belt which was perfect for beginners.

Spacious and Comfortable

I was impressed with the spaciousness of the guest rooms. We booked a room with two queen beds which was very comfortable, although they felt more like doubles. The room included a fridge and microwave, which made our stay even more relaxing. My favorite part was the blackout drapes that ensured a good night's sleep, keeping the room dark.

Great Dining Experience

The dining options at the hotel were quite extensive. I loved the small bar attached to the restaurant, which offered fantastic views of the tubing hill and Lake Bellaire. Even though the prices were a bit high, the food quality was commendable. I savored the atmosphere and food while enjoying the views.

Relaxing Leisure Areas

The leisure facilities were great during my stay. I utilized the indoor pool which was a nice touch for unwinding after a day on the slopes. There was also a decent gym that allowed me to keep up my fitness routine while I was there. The atmosphere was relaxing, making it a perfect spot to enjoy downtime.

My stay at this resort was quite a mix. While the location was undeniably beautiful and peaceful, the room left much to be desired and definitely felt outdated. The staff did their best despite some obvious operational shortcomings. Overall, if you appreciate nature and don't mind a throwback feel, it might work for you, but expect to compromise on some comforts.

I recently stayed at this resort for a ski trip, and while there were some positives, I found some areas that could use improvement. The views of Lake Bellaire from the property are stunning, and the rooms were mostly clean and comfortable. However, the dining experience was lacking, with limited options and mediocre food quality. Additionally, the location has its quirks, being a bit tricky to navigate at times, but overall, it offers a good experience if you're not too picky.
