I always wanted a ski-in and ski-out location and this lodge delivered. Waking up on the hill and heading straight to the chairlift was amazing. The gondola ride to the resort offered a perfect introduction with helpful staff and a lovely outlook.

The gondola ride to the hotel offered fine views, it. Staff members were kind. The room had a fireplace and huge windows, it was an amazing upgrade for my birthday. The resort features hiking trails, an outdoor soaking tub, and various food options.
The travel time to get to my car required some planning, it took about thirty minutes. This is a small inconvenience when going out and about each day.

the gondola ride to the hotel was a unique experience, offering amazing views. the large hot tub was enjoyable, especially after exploring the scenic trails. i found a curated collection of goods at the sunshine merch shop. the restaurant staff were very attentive.
the limited evening activities made for slightly quiet evenings.
Rooms

The loft room had ample space, perfectly accommodating our family of four. Fresh linens, towels, soaps, and coffee pods were replaced each day. each room includes a small balcony. It has space for two people and beautiful views.
Location
10/10
The hotel sits atop the mountain, accessible via a 10-15 minute gondola ride, if the gondola runs without any stops. Shuttle buses are a second option. summer offers plenty of walking trails nearby, though the gondola is the best scenic route!
Dining
9/10
Multiple dining options serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner, a convenience for all guests. the local restaurant provided a satisfying dinner. It complemented the family's enjoyable breakfast the next morning with very friendly service.
