Whiteface lodge was amazing to stay at! There was a lot to do in the property and we enjoyed our time there. The breakfast buffet was also good, along with nice touches for the movie time & popcorn, game room had a lot of games as well as outdoor game options. There’s a lot to do if you don’t leave the property for a short stay - especially the hot tub - so amazing!

Restaurant staff were rude. Pool didn’t work and sauna was down which was the reason we chose this location for ski trip and no discount was offered for the inconvenience.
