We had a lovely stay at Moose Creek Ranch, and the property itself is absolutely stunning. The setting is beautiful, peaceful, and exactly what we were hoping for. The staff was also wonderful- very personable, friendly, and welcoming, which truly made a difference in our overall experience.
We especially appreciated the complimentary Nordic ski rentals, which were an incredible perk, and the use of the brand-new sauna was such a wonderful amenity and very appreciated after long day outside. We also had dinner at Penny’s Pub, and the pizza was absolutely superb!
That said, for the price point, I did expect a bit more from the accommodations themselves. Both beds in our unit (Pine 2) were unfortunately very uncomfortable. One mattress appeared to be significantly worn or possibly broken, as it sunk in dramatically and made for a rough night’s sleep.
A few other small but notable details stood out. There was only one mirror in the unit, located in the bathroom, which made it difficult for multiple people to get ready at the same time. It was also surprising that guests were expected to wash all dishes, yet the dish soap in our unit appeared to be diluted with water and wasn’t effective. The same was true for the hand soap, both in our unit and in the lodge.
The kitchen could also use some attention- the oven appeared to need cleaning, as even preheating it caused the fire alarm to go off. Additionally, the shower in our unit was unfortunately quite dirty, and the water never heated past lukewarm for showering.
While the unit is advertised as having a fully stocked kitchen, there was no coffee maker. I understand that a Keurig is available in the lodge 24/7, but having an option in the cabin itself would have been a nice touch. Lastly, during the winter season, a few extra floor mats near the entryway would be helpful for snow and wet boots.
Overall, Moose Creek Ranch is a beautiful property with fantastic amenities and a wonderful staff, and we would stay again. A few improvements to cleanliness, in-unit amenities, and overall comfort would go a long way in better matching the premium experience the property aims to offer.
