Downing Mountain Lodge and Guides

"The Downing Mountain Lodge is such a unique, beautiful place. I couldn’t give it anything but five stars. However, with that said, it is rustic. The linens and pillows could use some updating, and you’ll need to bring your own towels. Plus, renters don’t always follow the cleaning checklist. The floor had definitely not been vacuumed by the previous renters as it was supposed to be. With that said, we loved this place. It’s quirky, peaceful, lost in time, and spacious. Additionally, the views are astounding. We’ll be visiting again."

"The lodge is awesome. Very unique, somewhat rustic, and exactly what my family and a few friends needed for a summer getaway. The views are amazing. The kids loved using the triple sink and playing foosball. The adults loved sitting on the deck and enjoying the views. There are plenty of nearby things to explore for the young and old alike. Thanks for a wonderful stay!"

"This is an amazing place to stay in a beautiful corner of the world! The lodge has a huge fireplace and an incredible kitchen, the skiing offers something for everyone, and the hot tub and sauna are waiting for you at the end. You could easily take novices right out the back door, and experts with snow safety skills won't have enough time to get it all. The owner John couldn't be a nicer guy, and his place will leave you wanting more!"

"We stayed at Downing Mountain Lodge in January of 2020. Our group included four kids under the age of 4. The Lodge was perfect. Spacious and inviting with all the amenities. The views are spectacular. John was very helpful with information on road conditions and the best zones to ski given the sketchy snowpack at the time. The skiing was fantastic. There is lots of terrain for every type of skier and condition (even the kids!). We had such a great time, we immediately booked for 2021."

"We very much enjoyed our family gathering at Downing Mountain Lodge. The lodge is uniquely rustic, while providing all necessary conveniences and amenities. Views are spectacular. The location feels remote, but provides good access to local attractions. Owner/manager very friendly and helpful. It was a great experience."
