Our stay at Lake Crackenback was truly enjoyable! The spacious chalet allowed our family to relax in comfort while being surrounded by nature. The recreational activities were fantastic, and we especially loved sharing Happy Hour with the local wildlife. The only drawback was the temporary closure of certain facilities, but overall, it was a great experience, and we left with plans to return with friends next time!

I had a fantastic stay at the resort with my family. The location near the ski tube was perfect for our skiing trip, and our room had stunning mountain views. While the overall experience was enjoyable, I did encounter some service hiccups in dining and a few maintenance issues in the room that could use attention. Overall, it was a memorable trip with beautiful surroundings and a cozy atmosphere.

Service at check-in was friendly and efficient, but dining reservations and responsiveness after hours left much to be desired. I felt a bit neglected during our stay when we faced issues with the fireplace and didn't receive timely assistance.

The dining experience was somewhat lackluster, especially for dinner as we faced a few disappointments with limited menu options and fully booked restaurants. Breakfast was nice but offered the same basics every day.

While the resort did offer nice amenities like a pool and sauna, they felt outdated and could use some upgrades to match the appeal of the surroundings.
