Giant Oaks Lodge

This is one of my favorite places in Running Springs! If you want to ski Snow Valley, it's perfect! Technically it's not a 5 star with room service, spa facilities, club house. it's 5 star in experience! They do have a pool and jacuzzi. That is a little basic, but again, it's the experience. Very cute touches like mood lights under our TV, fridge & micro in a compact area, and closet that is well equipped.

Not only was the room organized in such a way as to maximize every inch, but there was thought given to every inclusion, from the right amount of cups, coffee, ice, paper towels, and information about the area. The staff was VERY kind, and the amenities (the indoor pool and hot tub) were absolutely perfect. Thanks so much, we WILL be back!

The room wasn’t completely clean when we checked in, we had to borrow a vacuum to clean up debris left from prior guests. The staff lives on premesis but nobody actually staffs the front desk. You have to ring a doorbell & bother them anytime you need something. Since the pool is under lock & key anytime you want to use it you must sign up & ring the doorbell & get the key & the staff just doesn’t seem to want to be bothered. Nobody was rude, but for what seems like a small family run business they don’t seem very happy to be there. The place would be so much better if they would just allow everyone to use the pool without the hassle. Oh and they leave their dogs in a fenced area outside all day & anytime someone walks by the bark like crazy. So forget trying to take an afternoon nap between activities.

I came with my 3 children hoping to enjoy our first Ne Year away from home. Check in was super fast and easy, however they have very limited parking. I would suggest they have assigned parking spots since it is a super small lot. I stayed in room 106 which says there are two king size beds and there is just one with bunk beds. Walking up to our room, we realized the room was already unlocked and open which was a little unsettling walking into. The room was not cleaned well. Floors were not swepped, there was some type of residue smeared on one of their chairs, and a (clean) strip of toilet paper was left on the bathroom counter.

Staff was very friendly, the units have all been updated and are cute. They built in seating bars, microwaves and mini fridges which was nice. The pool & hot tub were indoors, heated and only one family at a time which was very nice. Both families that rented had room heating issues which made the stay a little uncomfortable. The wall heater in my room simply would not go on, and my friends heater was a fireplace which was not very easy to figure out. It takes a very long time to warm the room, but eventually in the late evening it warmed for them. My room however was very very cold. Parking was great and the hotel is very conveniently located next door to a great equipment rental store for skiing, and down the street from a wonderful breakfast spot. Overall it was good with only the heating issue.

We enjoyed our stay at Giant oaks lodge. Our room was small but it was comfortable, clean, and close to restaurants. We will definitely consider coming back. The lodge has indoor heating pool, which is something we want to try in the next visit.

Have stayed here several times and thoroughly enjoyed it. We were snowed in as we slep and the next morning worried about how to get out the steep driveway in and out of the property. The people in front made the mistake of stopping near the top and got stuck. The manager (owner?) and son rushed to their aid and worked in the snow to get them out. They instructed me (no chains) on how to do it and it worked like a charm and out we went. The room was comfortable including the beds except for the metal skirt around the bed which made noise when you moved too much. The indoor pool and spa are nice and kept up. Nice relaxing stay.

The inside of the hotel room was adorable but was cold. The fireplace was an electric heater but did not generate enough heat to warm up the small room. Bring your heaters. There was not enough parking in the parking lot. Add more parking and another heat source and our stay would have been pleasant.

Parking was easy and short walk to our room. Room was a bit cramped but had everything we needed, all amenities were provided. Bathroom was amply spaced, great shower and large mirrors surrounding. Room smelled very cabin-ey and was clean and welcoming.

This is a nice and convenient place only 10-12 minutes from Snow Valley. Dining options are very close. There supposedly is housekeeping service, but they never came to our room. There also are supposed to be coffee makers in the room, but we didn’t have one, despite what the manager said. But it is comfortable. Amenities provided: good size fridge, microwave, shampoo, conditioner, soap, lotion. If you want to use the pool, you need to sign up in the morning. We didn’t get to use it. Oddly, they only allow one room at a time at the pool. It was supposed to be for the pandemic, but for some reason, that still is the policy.

Excellent place very clean and beautiful Staff was nice. I’ll definitely go back.

In short, the room I stayed in was pretty gross. The whole room smelled very musty AND I could also smell the gas from the furnace; the floors hadn't been vacuumed or mopped and there was dirt smudges all over; the toilet hadn't been cleaned and there were marks inside the toilet bowl as well as the seat needing to be wiped down before I could use it; the toilet paper roll I was given had water marks on it like it had been dropped in a puddle and dried out; there was old food left in the fridge; the countertops hadn't even been wiped down, and when I put papers down on the counters they got grease stains all over them. I alerted the office my first morning and asked that they clean the room while I was out for some meetings before 11am. When I got back, nothing had been done and the gentleman at the front desk just said that he had alerted his cleaning crew. I had to work from the room for the rest of the day, so I told him it was too late. The cleaning lady did come by and was very apologetic and very kind, but the gentleman at the front didn't seem to care at all. I hope that this was just an oversight and the room accidentally got skipped for any cleaning beyond fresh towels and sheets, but still, I will not stay here again.

Room was dirty. Shelf with coffee pot had dust thick enough to write your initials. Outdoor furniture was too dirty to use. Floor in bath and sink area was dirty, Towel used to wipe it came up black. Bedside lamp was broken, socket hanging off base. Owners little dog yapped constantly day and night. One and done, never to return.....

I booked the family cabin for a weekend girls night out. Spend 2 nights, total of 3 adults and 4 kids. Pros: Staffs are friendly, check in is easy. There’s a restaurant and gas station right next to lodge. There’s kitchen inside cabin, a must have when travel with kids, but no dishwasher. Love the fireplace gas heater. Kids love the indoor pool and spa. Bed are comfortable. 3 TVs. Full size fridge, microwave, toaster, stove, coffeemaker, pots and pans. Cons: there’s only 1 bathroom for 7 people, and shower and toilet are together, that means when someone is taking care of business the others cannot use shower. And when there’s 7 people, the waiting can frustrating. And it takes a while for water get hot again for next shower. And I don’t like shower head. the water pressure is so high that it is actually painful when water hit body. There’s no dishwasher. I noticed the mugs and cups are very dirty, have to wash them manually. Finally I got tired of washing, just used disposable cups instead. There is mini market , pizza restaurant and Mexico restaurant across the road. But you can’t get there by foot. It is a busy road, not safe to cross. So we took the car just to cross highway, kind of annoying.

The bath tub was very dirty. Carpet needed to be vacuumed

We love staying here! It’s our 3rd time and cabin 112 is a new favorite! Clean and had everything we needed.

Great environment, but cleanliness within the room was lacking.

The heater was broken, we had a space heater that didn't help much. Rather than that, it was ok. Considering been at the mountain during Fall, the heater needed to be working.

The 3 bed spa lodge room was large, had a balcony and all the amenities to make it feel like a nice living room. The large TV had an incredible amount of satellite stations. The large fake log fireplace was controlled by the room thermostat and provided a cozy atmosphere. We found a microwave oven, a refrigerator, a coffee maker and even paper cups, plates and plastic cutlery! A few small glitches such as a faulty toilet shutoff valve and the fact that the hot shower valve was installed in reverse were in our opinion no big deal. The room and bathroom were clean and the whole 2 night experience exceeded our expectations.

My room was spacious and comfortable. Lots of available in-room amenities: coffee maker, fridge, iron & ironing board, tv, WiFi, microwave. The shower worked well and the towels were plush. The bed was very comfortable. I sat out on my deck every morning and had coffee to the pleasant sounds of the mountains and forest. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Thank you for a very nice stay.

Wow is what comes to mouth first when I want to share about my stay here... this spot is a gem!!! I love the rustic log-cabin-like feel to my large and accommodating room. The bed was very comfortable, the bathroom large and clean and the fireplace as well as tiny kitchenette made this room the most magical lovely solo getaway for me preparing for an intensive professional retreat, including using it as a workspace with all of the varied comfortable seating options. Highly recommend this place and would love to return!

Great little place. This place has a little coffee maker/fridge/microwave, skylight, usable wifi, and a wonderful wood decor. I liked the attention to details such as forks,plates for us to use, along with paper towels. Will stay again with the fam if we are in the area

When we first got in, we were given a room with no heater with 30 degree weather and windy. The room was freezing and I have a baby. My family was freezing we were all wearing coats and stuff inside just to stay warm. Only a couple hours later, did they tell us to change to a room with a heater. Then it was much better. But we were not able to enjoy our evening because we were freezing an they weren't doing anything about it. At least we were able to sleep comfortably because we were finally given a room with a heater.

We loved staying at the lodge. The room was big and very comfortable and cozy. Well furnished with a nice tv, fridge and microwave. Bathroom was roomy and well stocked - nice towels! We received a very warm welcome upon arrival and excellent treatment during our stay. Would definitely return.

Wife and I needed a last minute room overnight on the mountain. Usually this means sacrificing quality for a fair rate. Not so with the Giant Oaks Lodge. We hadn't stayed here before, but we enjoyed the room and the service so much we will stay again. Thank you Bryson for taking care of us and accommodating our oversize parking needs.

Management is quick to resolve any issues. Check-in hassle free.

Our stay was nice and quiet. The staff were friendly and provided good service. Check in and check out were quick and easy.

Location was great. staff was super helpful and friendly and there are plenty of restaurants that you can walk to.

Great place, near skiing, restaurant as well.

Excellent value for money. Convenient location for Snow Valley. Bit of a drive for Snow Summit/ Big Bear, especially if a snow storm hits.

a relaxing stay, the cabin is clean, easy parking, close to store. i like the naturesque vibe in the mountain. the desk guy is nice but looks so serious. worth coming back.

Quiet and convenient, friendly staff.
