Effortless Ski Concierge

The ski-in/ski-out access made my vacation stress-free. The ski concierge efficiently stored my equipment, and they even helped me locate missing items from the previous day. Their attention to detail and seamless service really enhanced my overall experience on the slopes.

Delicious Unique Dishes

Dining at Manzanita was a highlight of my stay. The duck I ordered was perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor. The ambiance was inviting, making each meal a nice experience. I especially appreciated the attention to ensuring my meals were served piping hot.

Comfortable Room Retreat

My room featured a gorgeous fireplace, which not only provided warmth but created a cozy atmosphere during my stay. I loved having a separate seating area to relax after a long day of skiing. The thoughtful touches truly made it feel like a luxury retreat.

Overall, this hotel offers a lovely mountain retreat with breathtaking views and a great range of family activities. The room we stayed in was comfortable, but not exceptional. The staff was competent, though I found them less engaging than expected given the hotel's reputation. The location is fantastic for skiers, providing easy access to the slopes, but be prepared for the resort fees that can add up quickly.

The hotel offers a beautiful location tucked away in the mountains, making it convenient for skiing with stunning views. The staff was exceptionally warm and helpful, providing excellent service throughout our stay. However, the dining experience left much to be desired, as we found the food expensive and not up to par. Additionally, the rooms, while comfortable, could use some modernization to match the luxury vibes of the property.
