Rooms could use updates and a good cleaning. Way too much walking to get to food courts and restaurants.

We had almost exclusive use of the lodge’s pool, hot tub and dry sauna. Free use of laundry machines is a delightful plus.

Swiss Mountain Village
This was a super cute place, set along a quaint pond. We arrived late but check in materials were set out for us. Our chalet was cozy and well appointed. We appreciated having the laundry in the unit. We were only there for one night, but I feel this would be a better option for a longer stay.
