The aesthetic appeal of the establishment is quite pleasing, and the surrounding area is aesthetically pleasing. The Powderkeg restaurant and bar provided an exceptional and extraordinary experience. The staff demonstrated exceptional professionalism and provided outstanding service. The only significant concern is the pricing structure of the mini-bar, which may be considered excessive.

The swimming pool was a great hit and it is fantastic to get a new towel for the pool each time we went swimming. The staff were great and helpful with suggestions of things to do and places to go.

Very charming hotel! Wish we had more time to stay. The property feels very much like a ski lodge and I'm sure is gorgeous in the winter. Just as nice and more quiet in the summer! We ate at the more casual restaurant - great food and enjoyed having drinks on the rooftop patio. We didn't have a chance to swim in the heated pool but it looked lovely. We loved learning that some of the Lord of the Rings cast stayed here when they were filming! 10/10 recommend
