The Kandahar Lodge offers an overall cozy and welcoming experience, with spacious and clean rooms. The staff is incredibly helpful and attentive, making our stay feel special. The dining, especially at the Cafe Kandahar, is exceptional but on the pricier side. The lodge is conveniently located right at the foot of the ski slopes, making it easy to access skiing, though it can get a bit noisy during peak times.

I had a wonderful stay at the Kandahar Lodge. The cozy lobby and friendly atmosphere made me feel right at home. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, although they could use a bit more cleanliness. Dining options were fantastic, especially the farm-to-table menu, and the outdoor hot tub was a perfect way to unwind after skiing. However, some areas needed more attention, and it would have been nice to have the bar and restaurant open during my visit.

The Kandahar hotel offers a rustic charm with a cozy atmosphere that's perfect for ski enthusiasts. I really appreciated the comfortable beds and the engaging communal spaces that fostered connections with other guests. The dining options were decent but could benefit from more variety at breakfast. The location is ideal for skiing, although the absence of an elevator can be a challenge if you're not on the ground floor.

We had a lovely time at Kandahar Lodge, situated right on the mountain, making it perfect for skiing. The rooms were well-maintained and cozy, though the breakfast options could use some variation if you're staying for a while. The amenities like the outdoor hot tub were great for relaxing after a day outdoors. However, stairs were a bit challenging since we were on the third floor without an elevator.

The Kandahar Lodge has an excellent location for skiing, just steps away from the slopes, making it perfect for winter sports enthusiasts. The rooms are cozy and clean, and the lodge offers a great atmosphere with its inviting lobby and fireplace. However, the dining options could be improved, as the choices were somewhat limited and on the expensive side. Overall, it was a lovely experience for our family getaway.
