You drive up to the lodge to check in and then back to the motel. Nice big room with a comfortable queen down stair and a queen bed in the loft. Mystery stains in the comforter tho. Both upstairs and downstairs beds. Sheets seemed clean but the comforters weren’t very comfortable

Comfort and ease

This place was perfect! Super close to the mountain with a super comfy bed and all the kitchen essentials. Our only complaint was that the studio unit located downstairs was extremely noisy. You could hear everything and the guests staying above us were very loud and disturbed our sleep.

The check in was so irritating! It’s not at the place you’re staying at. It’s 2 miles up the road and hard to find! Hot tub was cold!

The front desk person was so friendly and helpful. I am embarrassed that I don't know his name because when I walked in to get the keys, he called me by my name. It was a wonderful experience and I would definitely recommend Cottam's Lodge to others.

Interesting Two-Night Stay

We booked a 2-night stay the lodge. Bad news: Room was not in good shape overall with slow heat, draft through the door and the room above sounding like a bowling alley. Good news: Called and talked with Garrett. He brought a space heater to get us through the night. The next day, he moved us down the road to much better accommodations. Being in a sales, understand the importance of service and he did that exceedingly. Upon check-out, Maddy was also friendly and helpful.

Do not recommend this place to anyone. Place was supposed to be serene. Our experience was far from it. Outside it was picturesque. Inside - one word - crappy. Worst place I’ve stayed at for the money I paid. Room was either hot or cold. Temperature control didn’t exist. Floor was cold a couldn’t stay without our socks on all the time or on the bed. Bathroom didn’t have exhaust. One good this is, hot water was good. Bed was very soft and gave me back pain. Room service didn’t exist. We came back from skiing at 3 or 3:30 but our room was not cleaned. Other rooms were being cleaned. ABSOLUTELY the worst place to stay.

We stayed in the suite with a kitchenette. It was very clean and looked like a newly remodeled bathroom with walk in shower. We loved waking up to the view in the mountains and even saw a deer grazing by. It’s pet friendly which was a bonus.
