Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Beautiful scenery, dog friendly and quiet. Nice fire pit out back just wish the yard lights weren't so bright..
We did not eat or drink there but the restaurant/bar was full every night! Staff was friendly and place is very clean and pet friendly. Pool area was clean, we did not use.
Excellent property will definitely stay there again

Whitecap Mountain Ski Resort
Stayed at this rural ski lodge at off season to look for fall colors. Bed was comfortable, room was large. Hot tub was not very hot. There is no breakfast except on weekends for a charge (Friday morning). There was not a nearby town with breakfast that we knew of. The tv was streaming so you had to pay to view the Brewers playoff game. There is a $25 resort fee during non ski season. Very noisy (4 wheeler rally group stayed there). There were no tissues (have seasonal allergies) so that was inconvenient. Attendant staff was friendly (tried to find Brewer game for free…no luck). Expensive for off season. Would definitely not recommend.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
Staff was unavailable when we discovered that items were missing from our room. No food options were available as advertised.
It was very disappointing to find out we couldn't use the pool/hot tub when we arrived because it was rented out. I assume that we have "rented" the pool as customers of the hotel. The toilet ran all night and there was sand or dirt on the bedspread. Nothing overly terrible, but difficult to leave a great review.
We stayed overnight in September. I could imagine returning during ski season when all facilities would be up and running. Beautiful surrounding area. Nice location and facility.
The property is a unique alpine experience with a real waterfall on the property. The staff is always more than helpful and there is every conceivable need covered. We make sure to come back here year after year.
This was our first time staying here. We will be back! The resort had a lot of opportunities to do things. We really enjoyed the evening campfire. The resort was clean. We appreciated the bar / restaurant. Above all, the staff that worked there, very nice and professional!
