This lodge felt like a bait and switch. The pictures show a lovely lodge with a common room, a nice bedroom. It almost makes it feel like it's personalized to you. What we fail to realize is that when you show up at the shared lodge, it feels more like a hostel. The bedrooms that they advertise aren't necessarily the bedrooms that you're getting.

We stayed in the basement with a closet full of air conditioners and a bed that was on a 15% incline. We messaged the staff twice and they ignored us, and there was no stove in the common room for food.

Granted we took this Lodge because it was 5 minutes away from Holiday Valley and that's the only thing good I could say about this. That and the coffee in the morning.

I would not be giving such a poor rating if it wasn't for the cost. I feel like supply and demand were at play here and that management has taken their customers for granted.

There is no value in this lodge. Simply a bed.

The location was great. It was a quick, flat walk to town where there are a lot of shops, bars, and restaurants. Overall, the lodge is nice and has most of what you'd need. The common area was nicely decorated. There was a Keurig with kcups available as well as a drip coffee pot and a case of water. The place could benefit from a bit more upkeep as the floors were not very clean (I stepped on crushed up candy in our room). Our room (202) had a slight wet-dog type odor and was also missing towels, but luckily I was able to find some in a linen closet down the hall.

The room had a musty smell to it, the shower smelt like pee, overall it didn't have a clean and fresh feel. There were bright flashing lights in the room that we needed to cover up. The check in was confusing as there were no instructions sent to me. Thank goodness we got there at a good time because by the time I called to get the code and see where our room actually was, the guy answered while he was already at the bar drinking. I can deal with that stuff but what really got me was the noise. Other guests were there partying, smoking weed in the building, yelling, tumbling around, playing loud music until 430 am. The walls were so thin, it sounded like they were in the room with us. I attempted to reach out to the property management, via call twice and a text - no answer. There was no staff on site to deal with the issue so we had to go out and tell them to keep it down ourselves - which they didn't really quiet down much at all. Whats the point of the quiet time signs if theres no one to enforce them? Eventually they finally went to bed and the building was finally quiet, and all I could hear was our bed squeaking. Constantly. Without us even moving. I got no sleep at all. The next day I never got a response about last night, no apology or anything. Pretty much ruined my time trying to snowboard the next day due to being so tired. I would never stay here again.

This is a pretty run down place that they're clinging to keeping alive. The hot tub was a consistent 90 degrees and the top wouldn't stop blowing off. You can tell the cabin is very dated and they just keep slapping modern upgrades on top of one another. There was no key present like it says in the emails. Which made it tough to locl up and run to town after arrival. The bed is an old spring matress with a cheap foam topper tossed on top. The shower is tiny. And the windows were extremely drafty on a cold winters night. The price of this room definitely did not reflect the quality, and Im quite upset with myself for not making a better choice. But it was a cozy night alone with the wife alone after all. Only reason it gets the extra star. Otherwise this would be a complete loss.

This review is about Suite 103. We booked it for 4 adults. It had 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. Check-in was easy: a code was sent to us via text to unlock the keypad. But it was all downhill from there.
Beds were terribly uncomfortable. Bedrooms did not have a dresser or closet! Nor was there a place to put an open suitcase except on the floor.
Bathroom was large but was a lot of empty space; it had only a small vanity and small dimly-lit shower. No towel bars, hooks, shelves. Towels were old and were stacked on a stool.

The room was a little pricey for what it was. The room was nice and the bed was comfortable. I thought it was weird that the bathroom sink was in the main room and not in the bathroom, I know it’s hard to change things structurally but maybe lower the room price. And there was no trash can in the room.

The property is a short walk to town and very easy check in. We stayed in room 103 it was a 2 bedroom, clean and the couch and chair were comfortable. Decor was fine. The Shower needs a gut job (although pressure and temp were fantastic) and some of the ceiling tiles need to be replaced. The beds were way too soft on the bunk beds and there were absolutely zero dressers to store our clothing. Strangest thing. If I was there skiing for a week I would have been really upset but we were only there for the night. Nice to have the full kitchen to cook as option for longer stays and each room had a bar fridge too. I would stay here again, perhaps in another room with a firmer mattress. Jess was great.

Not at all as advertised. The room is much smaller. Beds were ridiculously uncomfortable, stand alone bed sounded like it was going to break when we sat on it. Shower was so tiny that I had a hard time taking a shower and I’m a tiny person! The room was ridiculously hot and the fan that was provided did absolutely nothing to help.

With a price of the stay, it was not worth will. Upon entering the room the fragrance reeds where so strong we could not breathe, we had to open the windows to air it out The bed was dirty,with dog hair on the lining and bed skirt, the couch in the room was stained and gross, the carpet was stained, the toilet hardly flushed tissue paper. The refrigerator in the room did not work. It stated Bed and Breakfast, the was a coffee machine in the common area with no coffee. The things we appreciated were the fan, electric door features.

Sadly disappointing

I want to preface this review by saying that I recognize that this is a tough business, especially for a small business owner. It breaks my heart a little to write this, but the lodge needs serious work.

I’ll start with the positives, which is that our room was clean enough. And there was plenty of room for the entire crew. Four beds in total, which is a hard deal to match without booking two rooms at most places. It’s also right on the edge of town, not far from Holiday Valley.

The negatives are another story. First thing is that the fittings, trim, etc. are old, some of it is pretty heavily damaged. A lot of lower quality furnishings, like extremely soft mattresses and home made laminate sinks/vanity tops. The common spaces were very cluttered and the building was noisy.

Hoping they can improve from our experience but I felt obligated to share.

Room/site location was ideal for our visit. Room was clean, one issue with entering was that I never received an email with the room access code. Booked through Hotels.com so not sure where the ball was dropped; at least there was a phone # to call and code was provided. Temperature control of the room was non-existent. Had to have a window open (glad it was October because no screen on the window) and the fan running all night. Room temp equalized at 76/77. Found no way to turn the temp down. Room was comfy other than the temp.
