We stayed in August and were the only family staying there. Upon check in the place was open, empty with an envelope with my name on it and keys inside. It was actually really scary. A little bit like the shining. We liked the two room bathroom in the middle room set up for our family of 5, but we felt really creeped out.

Property needs to put a visible address sign at entrance to prooerty. Hard to find at night. Property name on reservation did not match sign at the location. 3 collage grad people did not think the "The Lodge" was the same amas. Snow River Mountain Resort. We came in at night. The after hrs checkin worked ok but we believe the unit numbers should match the directions given .in other words . Put the actual unit numbers visible on the building id instead of current numbers.

We stayed here during the off season and it was great! Beautiful views and we had the whole pool are to ourselves. The room was clean, quiet and comfortable. None of the food/drink options were open but there were a couple places in town that satisfied our needs.

Nice off-season stay
I always enjoy staying at ski resorts in the off season, and Snowriver fits the bill. Lodging was reasonably priced. It was relatively quiet, but very scenic. The location was perfect for exploring surrounding waterfalls, lakefront, and Porcupine Mountains State Park. The room was compact, but very clean and comfortable. I think it would be tight if sharing this space amongst 4 people just due to lack of seating options and no room to spread out or just hang out in the room. (I don’t know where one would put all the luggage for 4 people with all their ski gear for a long weekend.) However it was fine if one is just using the room to sleep and then get ready in the morning (which is how I use hotels). My only real (first world) problem was lack of functional WiFi. There was occasionally a very weak and slow signal that disappeared more than it was available, but it was not sufficient to actually use during my stay. Consequently I burned up a lot of cell phone data during my stay.

A Cute Midwest Getaway
I loved how cute the rooms are. They do not have a continental breakfast, or microwaves in the room but we were able to head into town to grab breakfast. We stayed in the double queen studio. The sights on the premises were amazing. The ski lift was super cool, although it was super cold and windy. The hotel staff was super friendly and helpful as well. The only feedback I’d have to the property is to check the cleanliness of the rooms, our room had a few flies in it when we first arrived but I was quickly able to catch them and release them outside.

Vastly overpriced and underwhelming
I would have been underwhelmed if this room cost half of what it did, to be honest. Positives: The room was clean and attractive The mattress was quite comfortable Negatives: Very thin walls Terrible water pressure No breakfast, not even a thrown together continental buffet Badly overpriced - nearly $200 for a night for one person Unlit parking lot in terrible condition that you have to traverse between the lobby and the buildings with rooms

Way over priced
We killed 4 flies in the room upon entering. There was no smoke detector, it smelled musty, and the water in the shower got no warmer than lukewarm (I was unable to truly shower).

We stayed here for one night for our anniversary. Vintage ski resort. Kind of cute. The rooms in the main lodge are pretty small. Hot water for our shower was basically non existent so that was less than ideal. Minor issues like broken toilet paper holder. The pool and sauna were nice and the resort overall pretty cute. Everything was closed due to a wedding so we went into Bessemer to eat. Pretty view. 7/10 stars overall for the price but a cute, quaint place if you’re just looking to stay to ski or explore the UP and won’t be in your room much.
