The property has parking with low ceilings. A normal size pick up truck may not fit. Parking around the facility where you are directed to park is scarce. We were given accommodations on the first floor. The first floor is on the same level as the hot tub. The entire floor has a strong smell of chemicals. My wife and I had head aches from the strong chemical smell. It was not worth the money. We will not stay here again.

We arrived for our honeymoon. We requested a room with a room and the front desk was so helpful she upgraded us to a suite and it was so nice! If we come back again I would stay here again. Staff is so kind. Also the parking is easy and everything is nearby.

It was a lovely stay, unfortunately though our room was quite cold in the night, my partner was sleeping in the bed underneath the vent, and this kept them up most of the night. The hotel didn’t actually do anything about it other than come in and say the heating was working, which was disappointing. They did supply two duvets and a space heater, but I felt given it had ruined one of our nights. They should’ve given us some money back.

We stayed in a superior double room which was perfect for our family of 4, roomy enough for all our ski gear. Staff very accommodating when we asked for something. Nice large hot pool/tub which we enjoyed every night. Would stay here again.

Caribou lodge & spa was clean & well taken care of. The staff were friendly & professional. The Keg restaraunt, however, was a huge disappointment. They didn't have the prime rib so I ordered filet mignon medium rare with bernaise sauce. The meat was medium well. The bernaise sauce was tasteless & watery. I expected more from a keg restaurant.
