Longing for a break , we only had 2 days to spare! Other than spending it at a water park in a hotel, my wife and I , and my 2 teenage boys , opted for the almost 3 hour ride to chestnut mountain resort knowing full well they would be closing after Sunday ( the ski part)! In short,... More

Okay, so the hotel is not four star, and the rooms are a little dated, but they are clean and comfortable. The most impressive thing about this hotel is its staff who are wonderful and treat guests as if they are family. The skiing was good, and the lessons were great. The restaurants were both more than satisfactory. I would... More

Just returned from a weekend stay that was supposed to be a surprise birthday trip - and turned out to be a total disappoinment. We entered the reception area and were pleasantly surprised -there are two restaurants with great views of the slopes that seemed to have been recently remodeled. Had a very nice ski lodge feel. HOWEVER, when you... More

Hotel is outdated and in need of a overhaul. The ski kill is nice but I am not a great skier. The hotel beds were small and very uncomfortable. I will never stay at the hotel again but will definitely go back for the skiing.

Mountain: Can't speak highly enough about the ski hill! Just returned from a weekend at Chestnut Mountain Ski Resort. Blues at Chestnut Mountain are steeper & longer than all black runs at Alpine Valley! It's my new favorite ski hill in the Midwest! (Just over 500 ft of vert per my Ski Tracks iPhone App) They have 3 black runs... More

Double room clean but small, mattresses ok. No fridge, microwave. Tiny bathroom. Very convenient to hill, good restaurants available on site. Ski rental shop above average in being helpful and friendly - allowed us to wax in basement, and did emergency repairs on my daughters boot in a flash. Ski hill had good variety, great service, excellent grooming and conditions... More

I've read the other reviews and some have merit, but you have to remember that this is a ski lodge and wear and tear are going to be a given. When you go ask for a room that faces the Mississippi and that has been recently remodeled. The hotel is situated on a hill and is surrounded by mature trees.... More

Our room was very outdated and worn to the point that we were uncomfortable. However the common areas were nice and the views were outstanding. It is located quite a distance from Galena, which was unfortunate. Although we had a nice time with our friends, and the kids loved some of the amenities, we wouldn't stay here again.

The hotel is way outdated and the staff is far from knowledgeable about any of the supposed amenities. Needs a massive overhaul and better training. The restaurant was decent however and the waitstaff decent enough.
