“What I found most appealing is the mountain views from the balconies, easily connecting guests to the outdoors, plus the game room and outdoor recreational activities for families were a nice touch. Although some areas need updating and the location is a bit remote, the friendly hostess and pet-friendly policies stood out to me. It's a suitable base for those prioritizing proximity to Monarch Ski Area and a retro vibe.”
