Dale, Milford

Liked: Cleanliness
We had a fun stay at Chestnut Mountain Resort. The facility is out dated and has an old feel, but our room was tidy. The bathroom was very small. We had a family gathering over the weekend. Several of us went skiing and had a good time. The rest of us played games. The large gathering room closed when the ski hill closed. We were disappointed because we wanted to continue to play games after skiing. We had a large group and needed tables to play our games. The lady that told us the room was going to close was very rude and demanding.

Quick ski trip
The resort was great for skiing in and out. Overall the staff was friendly and helpful. The property does not have an elevator making it hard to bring luggage and ski equipment upstairs. The building overall and the room we stayed could use some updating.

This place offers disc golf! Another wonderful option to enjoy the outdoors for free. They charge rental fee for the disks if you forget to bring your set but; otherwise, FREE to play! Meander thru their part of Illinois with the fall colors as your backdrop. Have the Mississippi River on your right the sun on your left and the wind blowing behind you! It is heaven. We'd go back!
