This is a little overdue, however I definitely wanted to post this. So I rolled in here on Friday February 2nd for a skiing weekend at Cape Smokey, and was due to check out Sunday morning February 4th...but after 120 cm of snow over the weekend, I didn't get out until February 6th. All I can say is that the staff were absolutely outstanding in what must have been a difficult situation for them in what was one of the worst snowstorms in decades. I recently heard that the main lodge is closing to be revamped, and would otherwise recommend The Keltic Lodge in a heartbeat. Many, many thanks!

The hotel is in unique location, remoted area with the trail next to the hotel. Room was clean but a little "tired", it is 80s,not modern. Ocean view was more like view of poles, but because of snow piles in front of the windows at least there was no need to curtain them. The restaurant is in a seperate building, the food is tasty, a lot of food on the plate. Hot tub outside is amazing experience in the cold weather but it might be occupied so it is better to come in the morning. Spa services should be booked ahead.

The staff was very responsive and great. We were there after a major snow storm so we did not get the massages that we had scheduled because the staff could not get in. This was understandable but a little disappointment with our plans. However, we had a great time and enjoyed our stay and again the staff was exceptional.

A huge shout out of appreciation needs to be made to the staff of the Keltic Lodge! We were booked in for a weekend of skiing and from the beginning it was obvious that the staff wanted you to be comfortable and taken care of. As it turned out, we happened to be there during the biggest snow storm in decades! Usually, Keltic is closed on Sundays and Mondays, but instead of sending us into the blizzard to fend for ourselves, and to give the smaller winter staff a well deserved break, they all went above and beyond to help us feel safe and secure. They offered an extremely reasonable rate to stay put and made sure we were well nourished! Amazing! (Claire- you did a stellar job in an unprecedented situation- a leader extraordinaire.) Besides all that, our room was recently renovated and lovely, what food and drinks we had were delicious, and the musical entertainment was A-1!

Lovely property in beautiful setting. We stayed in the Corson House, centrally located on the property. One of the two restaurants (which offered vegan options--YAY) was conveniently across the main road. The well-appointed spa--where we happily took advantage of friendly, professional services--was next door. Our comfortable room had three large windows overlooking the restaurant and water. We had looked forward to relaxing and listening to live music in the Highland Sitting Room in the main lodge building; however, we found it closed for the season. Would definitely go back.
