Older but well maintained lodge. In-house shuttle was a lifesaver. Great breakfast. Very friendly and helpful staff. Only complaint was that we were expecting the kitchenette to include a stove. It did not, so we had to eat out every single day at some point, which meant a drive into town and a waitlist most nights.

Perfect getaway

The check in didn’t provide much information but the shuttle drivers were full of great information about the skiing, the lodge and things to do in town. Chris and Blake knew all the best stuff. The lodge had great amenities like massage and hot tub which we enjoyed after skiing into and out of the lodge for full days on the slopes.

We loved our stay here. The lodge is adorable and perfect for a ski getaway. Breakfast is high quality and better than most continental breakfasts. My kids loved the mini Nutella spreads. The rooms were perfect and as described. The resort was true ski in ski out and they also offered a convenient shuttle to the base lodge. Hot chocolate and popcorn snack was an awesome bonus every afternoon. We will definitely consider coming back.

Really enjoyed my stay here. The fireplace was always being tended to. The breakfast hours and selection were good. Hot chocolate,cookies and popcorn after returning from snowboarding all day was chef's kiss. The hot tub was huge and steam room were amazing to relax in. The rooms were spacious. Shower pressure great and hot water that did not run out. Full size coffee maker in our room was nice! Beds were comfortable with extra pillows. Having a ski room (for equipment) was top tier! And ski in ski out!!! ❤️ Dan at the front desk was extremely helpful.

After staying here for 4 nights, I would definitely recommend Kandahar Lodge. All of the staff was very friendly and knowledgeable when asking questions about the ski resort. The rooms were nice and everything was well kept. Breakfasts were simple but offered something for everyone and did the job. The jacuzzi and steam room were a nice bonus!
