We had such a wonderful experience at the lodge! The owners were incredibly welcoming, treating us like family from the moment we arrived. The surrounding forest added a beautiful touch to our stay, especially with the snowfall. There was a great hot tub to relax in after skiing. While the room was spacious and clean, we wished there were a few more dining options nearby for variety.

During my stay at Black River Lodge, I found it to be a comfortable place perfect for outdoor adventures. The rooms are spacious and clean, making for a relaxing environment. The lodge offers great amenities for families, which we enjoyed thoroughly. However, while the dining options were good, we had limited time to explore them since we found ourselves preferring to relax in the lodge instead of going out.

I had a wonderful stay at this lodge, which offered clean and spacious accommodations, perfect for our family getaway. The location is fantastic, being close to nature and various attractions. However, the rooms require some climbing, and while the amenities are great, a few more modern touches wouldn't hurt. Overall, it's a cozy place for families looking to enjoy the outdoors and some quality time together.
