We only were there for 1 night, but wished we would have stayed longer! This is a unique and cute property, the staff greeted us immediately and were beyond helpful and welcoming. The room had charm and was very clean. Then the continental breakfast was one of the best we’ve ever had! Checkout was smooth and easy. Would recommend to friends and family.

Its a old lodge, very well maintained, clean and a good English breakfast. There is no lift. You have to carry all your luggages yourselves via steps which is a big drawback. Otherwise the lodge is excellent for stay.

What an absolute stunner! I love the authentic ski lodge feel. A well-maintained property. Not sure when it was built but the exposed pipes, and wood details make me think this chalet has been around a while but tastefully kept and updated. The windows open so you can enjoy the mountain air, a fire is kept going in the common area, antique and leather seating throughout, and actual cutlery and dinnerware instead of throwaways. Just cozy and comfy exuded everywhere. The room is spacious and tidy, with a little kitchenette, and an updated bathroom. Staff has been so kind and friendly and helpful. Glad we found this mountain hideaway.
