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.

While the resort did offer nice amenities like a pool and sauna, they felt outdated and could use some upgrades to match the appeal of the surroundings.

My stay at Lake Crackenback was a mix of good and not-so-great experiences. The location was fantastic, almost idyllic for a ski getaway, and I enjoyed the spacious chalet. However, some issues with the room's furnishings and a lack of amenities detracted from the overall experience, especially considering the price. The dining option was a highlight, but the service left a bit to be desired.
