What guests think
At High Country Lodge, guests consistently praise the friendly, welcoming hosts and enjoy cozy cabins with mountain views, while noting the property is older in style; the scenic, convenient setting appeals to many families seeking a quiet base near town.
Rooms are comfortable but dated, with occasional noise by the highway, and peak ski traffic can make access tricky. Cleanliness is generally solid, though a few guests reported issues like stained bedding or worn bathroom fixtures. On-site recreation such as the pool, arcade, and courts can be fun but feel limited or inconsistently maintained, and the pool temperature or heating has sometimes disappointed. Expect simple, rustic cabins suited to a laid-back stay.
