Great food in a cozy atmosphere especially in the winter. The menu is small but nice choices.  It’s a good place for a special occasion because it is expensive, but the quality is there. The bar with fireplace has a hobbit atmosphere which I like.

Always Good

Overall not worth it and variable service quality. Assistant Manager in particular was at times individually rude to all 5 of us there the weekend. Front desk individual (Cameron) is a stand out and should be running the place. Otherwise, we just got the sense it was a Motel 6 run establishment but at Marriott prices. Room was too hot and uncomfortable - even with heat off and windows open. Bathroom amenities were empty from the beginning of the stay and not refilled. Buffet breakfast a joke - nothing remotely similar to what it was pre-covid. Now it's sadder than a Fairfield Inn freebie breakfast. Overall, not worth the money by far and Management does not seem to really care about the guest experience. We had rented 3 rooms this weekend - sadly we'll take our money elsewhere.

Not worth it

I’m sorry to say this formerly charming lodge has slipped from its pre-Covid days.  The food is good but not as good as before.  And my stay of several nights was marred by disappointing service from the superficially welcoming host. There was a mixup with my room which concerned him not a whit.  And he was downright rude about helping me get in touch with a local restaurant whose website had failed.

My group has stayed and dined here for years and others felt the same.  Sadly, it seems to have become particularly unwelcoming to women, whether you are an overnight guest or a diner.  The rooms are old fashioned ski lodge style, fine but spare.  You’d only choose to stay here because of an overall welcoming experience, which sadly no longer prevails.

The breakfast also has slipped, and the music in the dining room at 8:00 a.m. was loud hard rock.  The offerings are meager, a loss from the previously lovely beginning to the day. 

So while I think you might have a nice stay in this inn’s truly charming atmosphere, it’s become a roll of the dice as to whether the service lives up to the surroundings.  I’ve skied in many places in the U.S. and Europe, often in quite simple inns, and never encountered similarly indifferent service. It was a very disappointing visit and I won’t return.

Sad decline of formerly lovely accommodation

Stayed here for a couple of nights passing through to view the fall leaves Overall ok experience, breakfast was pretty good and downstairs had a nice lodge vibe- however don’t expect immaculate rooms upstairs. There was a thick layer of dust bunnies under and behind the beds and on top of some taller pieces of furniture. The pillows (under the pillowcases) were stained a yellowish brown from body oils which was unsettling. The linens were washed in some sort of scented detergent which typically is not the case with basic hotel lodging. Better to keep linens neutral smelling. After seeing that I was a bit grossed out and questioned the cleanliness overall within the room, i.e. condition of carpeting, air quality, etc. I was just glad we weren’t staying very long. If I could do it over, I would have picked a different accommodation, maybe more updated/ newer interior based on the room alone-especially since we had our young children with us and their health/wellbeing is of my utmost concern. I want to hope the lack of cleaning was because it was off season, but that really shouldn’t matter. Also a weird constant knocking sound from a nearby area within the lodge ( similar to shoes tumbling in a dryer) was constant throughout the night. Became white noise after a while but could have done without the disturbance. Will not be returning based on room cleanliness alone. My husband booked it for us. He is fired from making any future lodging decisions. Need lodging with higher cleaning standards.

Friendly host, but rooms need to be cleaner!

My friends and I decided to splurge on a special dinner at the Ski Tip Lodge. We got dressed and we’re impressed by the ambiance and charm of the place.  It was a 4 course meal with a few choices for each course.  
We ordered our meals and wine. Our server was a nice young woman.  My first course was a curried soup.  Kind of average, but service was going well so far.  Second course was an apple “salad” very strange and below par.  We were enjoying each other’s company and making the best of the situation at this point.  The main course arrived.  I got steak and potatoes.
The little I had of this course was good.  BUT….the a glaring fire alarm started going off.  We just sat there for several minutes when an older man in a chef’s uniform walked out and by us saying “you’re gonna have to get out”. No one came and spoke to us. We stood
Outside for 20 minutes or so. No fire response and no one talking to us.
My friend finally asked for a bill.  She indicated we didn’t get to eat our main course or get the dessert and requested that the bill reflect that fact.  Our server came back and said they gave us the “homeowner’s discount.”  My fried. Already qualified for that and asked for more of a discount.  The restaurant refused to further reduce our bill or make it right in any way.  Very disappointing customer service and food definitely not worth the steep prices.

Very Poor Customer Service,. Food Just Average

Food and atmosphere was fabulous! We will return again on next trip to Colorado ski area in Keystone!
The waitress was thoroughly familiar with all the choices and was able to help us all choice the best meal for each of our tastes!
Reservations are most difficult to get unless someone knows exact date and the number in your party several weeks in advance. They only have two dinner seatings one at 6 and one at 8 pm. It was easy to enjoy our meal and company with the limited number of each party! No rush to turn tables like many restaurants. This was and A plus meal for our party of 6.

Outstanding meal in Keystone area of Colorado

I hate to leave a review for this amazing Bed and Breakfast gem during our ski trip. Wow, happy as can be. This place is unique, like a maze, a hod podge of 1869 & 1940 construction with modern updates. Comfortable, clean, exceptional staff, and easy enough to get to ski hill. We stayed in a one bedroom 'suite' (3 rooms-queen bed, 2 twin beds with joining bath), keep in mind, that you do not get to choose which suite (there are 3) you get, same is true for the one room options. I hope it stays a Bed and Breakfast, delicious breakfast and oh so filling. I was so tempted like others to leave a one star review to keep this place a secret, sorry. Do not stay here if you need luxury, this place has old time charm. Hot tub is a bit of a walk and is okay. No tvs No pool. 

"It's Easy Edna, It's Downhill all the way". but so hard to leave.

We have eaten at Ski Tip Lodge many times over the years - pre Covid.  Our experience tonight was worth writing about because it was so different and so disappointing. We were a party of 6 adults and the bill was $1000.  Three people did the wine pairing and the other three had nothing but water to drink.  The positive - the food is still quite good and the setting is quaint and cozy. Make sure to read about the history of the Lodge - it's interesting. The negative - there are no longer sommeliers working there.  The wine pairing still exists but the star of the show was the sommeliers telling you all about the wine, why they chose to pair it with the entree and stories of their actual visits to the wineries all over the world.  Our waitress had no clue about the wine we were being served.  Everyone used to be seated in the fireplace lounge for dessert.  This is a cozy room with a large, roaring fire.  We never had to make a special request for this or reserve it in advance.  Tonight we were told we did not reserve it so our dessert would be served at our table.  This was news to us and quite frankly a very bad policy.  We were the first guests to be seated at the restaurant and we should have had no problem being seated there.  So disappointing.  We had talked up this restaurant to our guests and it was a totally different experience that what we had had previously.  Word to the wise - book by phone, not on Tock. Request to dine in the room with the small fireplace and make sure to reserve your dessert in the lounge with the large fireplace and hope they hire sommeliers soon.

Not what it used to be

Actually visited here for an overnighted on my way to Vail in 2019 (pre-Covid), but have only recently been nudged by Trip Advisor to finish the review draft I thought I had already posted.

To summarise; quaint accommodation, very historic but comfortable with good service. Parking was fine and close to the entrance.

Superb a la carte dining with fabulous wine selection and stellar explanatory sommelier service, but really badly let down by the tired breakfast, which was just left out in warming pans and contrasted so poorly with the dinner.

Overall, well worth a visit for the evening, but they really need to improve the ‘morning after’ experience.

Evening great; morning not so

My husband surprised me with a two night get away for our 10 year anniversary to Ski Tip Lodge and it was incredible! The lodge itself is nestled in a sweet little grove of Apens with a beautiful beaver pond out back (we saw several beavers) and colorful flowers everywhere. Our room was furnished beautifully and everything was extremely clean. We dined both nights at the lodge and the chef’s creations were delectable. A four course dinner with many options. We tried different selections each night and not one disappointed! We see why this place is renowned for its food. The wine list is extensive. The atmosphere was so romantic and dessert in front of the fireplace just put it over the top. If you need a place to celebrate something special this is truly it! The staff was so attentive and went above and beyond to make our time there special. Many thanks to Gilcon, Zach, Celeste, Ashley, Dominic, Cindy Lou and Austri for such great service. Definitely cannot recommend this place enough!
