Clean and comfortable at a good price. Would be nice if the hut tub was accessible late night because that’s when a lot of people wind down. Other than that place is perfect.
Our stay was perfect! The view, staff, and everything was awesome, my only thing was the towels weren’t white, they had a brown hue to them, which made me a little nervous to use!
Other than that SO recommend staying here. A must do when in the city.
Amazing. Front desk staff was beyond phenomenal. Has a super cool train track inside it which was functional. Organized a cute little Santa shop and kids were greeted by Santa’s elfs :) tons of turkeys roam the property in the morning.
Kids have already begged me to stay longer next time. Our cabin was great, staff was friendly, and the kids loved the playground and playing games in the library area.
Clean, comfortable room, beautiful surroundings, comfortable beds, good location.

Such a great team at Castle Mountain Lodge! Everyone was helpful, courtesy and kind. Our cabin was stocked with everything you could possibly need. Definitely will be going back again soon.
Castle Mountain Lodge was a great place to stay. We stayed in the Castle Glen cabin over Christmas week and really enjoyed our time. Even without snow or elk sightings, the cabin was cozy, comfortable, and perfect for a relaxing mountain getaway. The location is quiet but still close to town, and everything was exactly as expected. Staff was friendly and helpful, and we had fresh wood each day. We had a fun stay and would absolutely come back again.
Absolutely beautiful location, the cabins are clean, the perfect size and the property is amazing. The views are breathtaking and everything was just 10 out of 10 so recommended!
