“I found the mountain resort has a great location for ski enthusiasts, offering ski-in and ski-out access to Whitefish slopes. The rustic mountain lodge decor and cozy communal spaces create a charming atmosphere, while amenities like the wellness center with its outdoor hot tub add to the appeal; for these reasons, I think it's a solid choice for families and groups looking for a mountain getaway.”
