Practical tips for dining at the lodge
Make reservations for The Dining Room, especially on weekends or during peak foliage/winter ski season. The hotel recommends guests share expected arrival times in advance because the front desk has limited evening staffing and check-in begins at 3:00 p.m.
The property is adults-only (no guests under 18), so family-style kids’ menus are not expected; dietary restrictions (vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free) are accommodated but should be flagged when you book. If you are attending an event, verify the meal and arrival policies — for example, arriving more than 15 minutes late for a Dining Room reservation may result in your table being released.
- Reserve The Dining Room ahead — recommended for brunch and dinner
- Notify the Front Desk of arrival time due to limited staffing and check-in window
- Flag dietary restrictions when booking or on arrival
- The lodge is adults-only (18+); children are not permitted
| Dining tip | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Reserve in advance | Dining room fills on weekends/peak season |
| Share arrival time | Front desk hours and late-arrival rules |
| Confirm group menus | Large parties may have prix fixe requirements |
