Summary: I was not expecting to see not a single soul during my entire stay.
If I appreciate the simple check in process, it would have been nice to get a real person to talk to get the basic infos on the way around.
It was off season and I enjoyed the surrounding, the coziness of the main rooms and the quality of the prestation. But alone in the unheated building was a very awkward feeling.
Think of bringing a lighter to start a fire if you’re on your own 😃

Summary: You can pay for the breakfast meal that’s served at 8 a.m. If you miss it, then you can make your own sandwich after 9 a.m. Laundry is available for free and communal areas are spacious and inviting.

Summary: Did not like the lack of info provided regarding access to the property. No advance notice of parking and distance from the road in snow conditions was provided. Once in the bldg it was fine as a hostel.

Summary: The staff was friendly. Rooms were clean and the library was cozy. The games and game room were in terrible condition. Everything was unusable or broken or missing pieces. Also, the food was a bit disappointing. We paid $40 a person for 1 breakfast and one lunch. Breakfast was a limited amount of scrambled eggs, plain hasbrowns, and sausages. Lunch was make your own PBJ. Unfortunately there is only a microwave available to guests so bringing your own food is difficult. And if you want dinner, make sure to order when you book reservation as they didn’t accommodate us as we arrived too late to add on site (something they advertised as an option online).

Summary: Winter indoor camping. Ski coats are a necessity at breakfast. Heat was off for two days on our wing including bathrooms. Bring sleeping bags and towels. Parking and unloading luggage is an Olympic nightmare. You walk on a narrow path on top of 6 feet of snow for 150 yards. Path is maybe 2 feet wide, steep and has holes ,and if you are off the path you will sink to your waist. But, the sledding is excellent.
