ロッジが出来た頃に利用した兄弟より、とても優雅な時代の話しを聴いていたので、一度は行ってみたいと思い　50年以上も経ってから宿泊しまいた。 森の中にあるロッジ、私は気に入りました。古いですが、それが何だか落ち着いて良かったです。今年の１０月には取り壊されと知って、ああ間に合って良かったと！安堵しました。 ショッピングプラザモールにも駐車場から続く橋を渡って行けるのも高齢者にはとても有難いです。

One of the downside is there is no aircon in the room during this season & room was stuffy & warm despite door ing the windows. Staff should inform during check in that the room is still equipped with heater not air condition as there was no indication in the room.

This is a ski resort during the winter season. Although it’s still early season, they managed to open with man made snow. The snow condition is good but not great because the trail is narrow and there are too much skiers. However, it’s a great experience in the early season. The resort is also next to an outlet center . There are 200 plus shops. It’s great for non skiers. The hot springs are also great, especially for the skiers after the exercises. We are vegetarian and the restaurant taking care our request seriously. Over all, it’s a great experience and I will definitely recommend it to everyone.

林の中のホテル

車を夜間駐車場に停める時は、暗いので駐車位置が良く分からないのが欠点、駐車場は広すぎるので尚更、宿泊全般に関しては問題無い、広い清掃の行き届いた通路、大きいバスタブ、アメニティ、清潔なベッド、清潔な温泉（宿泊施設から移動するのに少し通路が入り組んでいますが）、アウトレットも徒歩で林の中を通ってほぼ３分で行けるので便利、バスもありますが利用しなくても大丈夫ですか
