What we booked thru Expedia was a 1 room cabin. What we got was a I room studio. No counter , no closet, no table. The ‘Room’ did NOT Match the pictures.. we immediately upgraded to a much nice cabin..The Frontier staff was gracious & accommodating..Typical bait & switch by Expedia, which we will NEVER use again. Make your reservations through the actual resort for a FAR BETTER EXPERIENCE!

They were re-doing one side of where the cabins were. We were on the otherside that had been re-done with up to date items like fire pits, corn hole game and walking area with very nice light up fences. Over all the new cabins were very nice and up to date.

Definitely a aweful all around experience. A group were complaining when I arrived. They offered me an upgrade then changed their minds once I asked to see it because it was the cabin the people were complaining about. The heater was stuck on and would not go down, the bathroom floor was dirty, shower curtain dirty, and tub was dirty. I have photos of arrival, toilet does not flush completely, the “ lake view” you have to walk to and it’s not a beachfront stangent water area at end of lake, the pool ect was closed which was not listed. One of the beds seemed to be missing springs in an areas so I had a aweful night sleep. We went somewhere else the next day. There was no number to call to get help and Expedia rep said they couldn’t get ahold of property during the night. Next morning told them and they also told me that it strange that Expedia couldn’t get ahold of them but they had placed me on hold and told me they contact them the next morning also they told me that the price I paid was $50 less than what I was charges so something is fishy with this place. They point to Expedia as the issue but I am not to sure given all the other issues. Avoid this place there are a lot of better options and if it was not so late by the time they got to me because of the people before me complaining I would have gone somewhere else too.

Heat would not turn off or go down. No help or maintenance response

I honestly absolutely adored my stay here. It was in a perfect location to walk wherever we needed. The view was absolutely gorgeous and I was able to take my dogs hassle free. Check in was amazing and I Would love to stay here again. However we stayed in cabin number 310. The sofa bed was broken and they attempted to help but ended up just blaming us and saying we were rude. I know what it’s like to work customer service and I would never be rude to any workers especially when it’s 1am.

NOTE: If you are looking for a cabin, this is not it. I booked this place thinking it was an actual cabin-like space. This is more like a remodeled unit. Aside from that, it's a nice place to stay. Everything is new, modern, and clean. We stayed in Unit 116. The front desk hosts were so welcoming and friendly. They made us feel at home. Thank you, ladies! The unit has a kitchenette area which we used to cook breakfast in the mornings. They supplied us with a k-cup coffeemaker, paper towels, dish sponge, and dish soap. There is a fireplace (but we didn't end up using it). I will say the sitting chairs are a bit stiff and really itchy. The bed mattress is unfortunately terrible. They provide no support. We had two nights of really bad sleep. Overall though, you can't beat the price on this stay. It was peaceful, quiet, and it's close to The Village and other main areas. We'd stay here again.

This is the kitchen area off to the left when you come in.

Bathroom to the left, full-size bed, two chairs, small table. Big screen tv mounted on the wall to the right above a fireplace.

Clean cabin, but property under construction and we did not have acces to pool or basketball court which bummed out my 3 children. They are also short staffed and they would close the office during the mid morning.

Staff is great!!! Property is a disaster. Under complete renovation even though it says only select guestrooms effected. No pool, hot tub, no amenities like table tennis, basketball etc. Was told pool was closed due to ADA upgrades. Absolute lie.

We were very excited to stay here. We had stayed here years ago and enjoyed it. However this was not the case this trip. The first room we stayed at smelled of marijuana. Thankfully the front desk was accommodating and gave us another room. That room was much better with the exception of baby spiders. We ended up not complaining about that and figured were in the woods and that comes with it. The beds were terrible and we could not sleep. We ended up leaving early to go home and sleep in our own beds. Unfortunately we will not be staying here again. The plus side is that the room visually looks nice, it has a nice view of the lake, it's close to the village, it's close to the alpine slides. However traffic gets backed up pretty good there and if you're trying to get to the village it takes forever for traffic to clear. Im sure during the week its probably not as bad but the weekend we went it was pretty bad. They are also under construction making it hard to maneuver around the premises at this time. We hope others have a better experience at this hotel.

Gorgeous view of the lake right outside our door! This stay was mostly great. You can hear the people next door as if they were in your room, and you can really hear every footstep and movement from the people staying above you. If you’re a light sleeper, you’ll have a difficult time with this - it was a bit much for us and we are heavier sleepers. I assume this is why the staff leave earplugs in the room when you check in. Besides that though, everything else was perfect :) beautiful views, beautiful property, really great service
