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!

We found the staff to be very pleasant the rooms were clean grounds were an excellent condition.

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.
