Read moreThis a a place for folks who are interested in the great outdoors instead of pricey, stuffy hotels. Turn of River Lodge is your place at the mountains that you're sharing with friends you haven't met yet! ||||This was our first stay here. We'll definitely be back. It's just like a place we stayed at when I was a kid.||||Put your feet up, have a drink, play solitaire or invite others to play cards or a board game in the great room/dining area. Or just share stories and tips about the local skiing and beyond.||||There a microwave and large guest fridge. A great fireplace and plenty of wood. Indoor storage for skis and boards.||||Clean and plenty of hot water in the shower.||||A variety of rooms and sleeping arrangements.

Cream cheese and peanut butter are also served with breakfast.||||They have a room for waxing and tuning your skis or board.||||I had a great time, my 18 year old daughter was along.
