Hotels.com needs to work better

The stay itself was great. As a self check in establishment, I had difficulty only because expedia/Hotels.com never sent me a check in email. It took me a while to get in touch with a staff member to forward the email so I could actually check in.

We were looking for a nice calm relaxing place away from home but not too far away to escape some of our daily stress for one night. Forgot about the rowdy snowmobile season

This was a remarkable place to stay. The cabin was very inviting, spacious, warm and comfortable. The firepit area was wonderful and they provided the wood for us. We will be returning in the future.

I surprisingly enjoyed my stay at the lodge with my boyfriend. However, I did feel like the cabin was overly pricey as it being winter and there were limited activities besides skiing/snowboarding and renting snow mobiles for the day. Surprisingly, I had the best weekend just hanging out at the cabin with my boyfriend. My boyfriend and I danced, laughed, played games and relaxed in the jacuzzi. I would highly recommend staying here . I just wish it was a little cheaper.

If you like glamping

Where do I start: 1. the check in process 2. No thermostat in the room. It was way too hot. I had to open the window to breathe. 3. No housekeeping service 4. The fact that you wanted a tip for housekeeping service that I didn't receive 5. The stupid daily texts 6. No microwave 7. Couldn't watch MNF 8. Having to limp up a flight of stairs carrying a 64lb bag 9. No dresser. So I lived out of my suitcase 10. No plowing of parking lot or shovelling of walkway. Almost slipped and fell several times.

It is a rustic place to stay with a gorgeous view. We felt safe. Our dinner was fantastic with an exceptionally attentive waitress. She was the ONLY waitress, w/ a fairly full dining area. There was not a long wait for our dinners. Room was not modern but so much better than camping.
