Mountain Lodge: Mountain lodge is the perfect destination and a short walk (1-2 minutes) to the village restaurants, bars, shopping and split rock pool. Auntie Pasta’s Italian food and the Comedy Cellar are in the lower level of Mountain Lodge with some of the finest Italian food and local entertainment in the state. Mountain Lodge has an Exercise room, an indoor playground, a huge arcade for the kids, movie rentals at the front desk and 24 hour security. Free shuttle available picks you up at the front door and will take you everywhere else on the mountain.

There are very few 2-bedroom homes at Mountain Lodge. The majority of the homes are 1 bedroom. We waited for this location and loved the fact that we are on the quite end, on the first floor and the side that has the panoramic mountain views and not the parking lot side!

Mountain Lodge is one of the only village properties with full kitchens. Now that may not seem like a huge benefit, but when you consider the cost of a vacation and the cost of eating out, we preferred to ski extra days and cook meals at our convenience. All other village properties have refrigerators that can barely hold a 12 pack of beer let alone a gallon of milk.

My wife and I fell in love with the hominess of the Mountain Lodge feeling. The lobby with its warm fireplace provides a great place to read a book, have a glass of wine or socialize. It is so close to everything. Steps from the restaurants, bars and slopes make this the best of the best locations.

I love the building construction. Mountain Lodge was built at a time when homes were made to last. It has heavy-duty thick insulated walls. Most all of the village properties we have stayed in (we have stayed at all of them) have thin walls and you hear intimate conversation from the people next door. You definitely won’t have this problem at our Mountain Lodge home!

We love the fact that you walk in from Ballhooter slope and you can be inside our home in a minute. You can come in grab a bite and be back on the slopes in no time.
