There was no staff, only a phone number. We had to notify them that the fireplace wasn’t working. They fixed it promptly. The timer wouldn’t turn it off though.

I love this Lodge!!!
I absolutely love staying here at the Snow Bear Lodge, it’s always very clean. The morning cleaning crew is very nice and helpful. This lodge is literally across the street from where we dock our boat, and close to the community park. I just wish their pool was filled so we didn’t have to make friends next door, to swim after hours from the lake

We really enjoyed our stay Snow Bear Lodge. Our room was very spacious and we were pleasantly surprised with the bathroom and shower sizes as well. It was perfect for our quick trip for snowboarding. And a quick walk, less than 10 minutes to the village. Would definitely recommend staying here and would book again!

We stayed in the 2 bedroom cabin with the twin beds. Perfect for what we needed! Cabin was clean and comfy! Only complaint was the only tv was in room with the twin beds. Kinda inconvenient for the adults.
Kitchen had dishes and coffee mugs but that's it. No silverware, coffee maker (glad i brought my own), pots or pans. We ate out but in case anyone plans to cook, better bring stuff with you.
We would still stay there again!
