This was a very nice place. It is very quiet in the summer. The only thing that I would caution is that if you have any need to call them, you will not get a hold of anyone. And, if you check in during a time when no one is working it could be extremely confusing.

A great place to relax off season
Very nice. I went off season in Augusr and stayed for one night. My room was clean and very quiet as it was off season. I stayed in a room in one of the chalets . I had a view of the ski summit from my room. They have a restaurant on site which is very convenient. There is some great nature to walk around from your room so very relaxing.

It had an old school ski resort vibe, which I liked. I brought microwaveable meals to eat, only to find there was no microwaves in the rooms. Bummer! There was a place in the room's cabinetry for a microwave so they were evidently removed. The one man band in the attached bar was obnoxiously loud and never took a break. Conversation was impossible. I came to socialize with friends. Wasn't possible.

an adequate place to stay
Signage for the resort did not match the reservation so it took awhile to actually find the hotel. Obviously this is out of season for a ski centered place but it was the bare minimum acceptable.

Sweet Little Lodge
This place was great. The room was updated nicely and was clean and comfortable. My only comment would be that it would be convenient to have another mirror outside the bathroom so 2 people can get ready at once. The only reason I gave a 4 for service was that no one was at the desk when we arrived. They made a great effort and left me a voicemail with instructions but unfortunately there was no cell service when we arrived and I couldn't listen to it again lol. We did figure it out - I recommend this place.

Very nice stay. Disappointed that the restaurant and bar were closed, but understandable, since we were practically the only ones in the place. Must be an awesome spot during the ski season. Very nice pool, hot tub and sauna

A little too quiet. Would be nice to have a TV or some music in lobby area during off season & also maybe offer donuts and juice for breakfast in off season. Pool area was great, enjoyed our stay.

Amazing Snow River
My husband and I visited Snow River as a possible wedding venue for our son’s wedding next Fall. We were impressed with the beautiful property and amazing scenery. The wedding coordinator was very cordial and professional. She led the tour of the property and explained the wedding and lodging options available. All of our questions were answered and she explained the accommodations that could be made to fit our needs. Our son and his fiancée were excited to choose Snow River as their dream wedding venue. We look forward to celebrating at stunning Snow River in October 2024.

Negatives: Rooms didn't get cleaned during our stay, no dresser, no closet, no hooks no table, nowhere to put clothes or luggage; no shelves or ledges on anything the shower to put shampoo bottle or soap on, no extra hooks to dry towels, water form the shower gets all over the bathroom floor, water takes 20 minutes to warm up; no air conditioning; 1 box fan in the room but no outlet to plug it into unless i unplug the fridge or tv or lamp... absolutely no available outlets int he room, 2 USB ports in a clock was all there was. 1 outlet in the bathroom, which was connected to the light switch, so I could plug the fan in in the bathroom, but to run it overnight I had to leave the washroom light onto power the fan. Window opened but had no screen so opening it let in mosquitoes. Toilet paper roll was behind where your shoulders are when you sit on the toilet. You seriously need to hire a designer. Common areas were dark and unfinished, obviously under construction - lots of mud and dirt. Positive: Rooms were quiet Staff was very friendly
