We rented two rooms for a friend's bachelor party. We intended to have the units for a place to stay overnight and to just hangout after a busy day and to allow us to be close to treetop trekking the next day. My wife and I have stayed at Horseshoe resort on multiple occasions and have loved our stay. This time, the rooms were great and the staff was mostly accommodating and professional. However, after we had gone out for dinner we hoped to spend a few hours relaxing in the hot tub and sauna and enjoy the pool. However we were greeted at the change room doors by a notice that they had rented the entire pool room out for a "private booking". It would have been really nice for them to at least give us some notice that the pool area would be rented out for the time that we were actually going to be there. No apology or attempt to redeem the fact that an advertised portion of the resort was unavailable to the people who have payed good money for access to the amenities. This left a pretty poor taste in our mouth after an overall good experience.

I went there to snowboard (day trip). Location is pretty close to highway 400; very convenient. There are plenty of ski racks; easy to find a slot. Lifts are challenging to get on and off as they are pretty close to the ground and fast. Staff are friendly and helpful, they slow down the lifts by hand for everyone. The trails are so much fun to ride on, they are sometimes narrower, has more turns and each trail is unique.

We came here for a school field trip and I was impressed with the organization they had. I wasn't confused about how the place was layed out, and when I asked staff for directions they were very clear and accurate. The prices were alright, but this is where they lost 1 star. I'll say to bring a group of people as this can make sure you get special deal. But overall they have a ton of selection of different slopes and lines. The food court had decent prices and have new buildings as hotels in the making. I would recommend this place to have a good time.

This resort sports fairly new accommodations with new deco, new paintings, warmth, and furniture. Yet little things were not handled well over my family's stay there this week. (1) dirty coffee pot and unavailable water kettle (2) furniture surfaces peeling off (3) loud ventilation fan (4) robot-like and mistake-prone rental/lift desk services (5) culturally insensitive communication and attitude of service staff (6) icy walk paths (7) very worn-out snowboards (8) lots of dogs, which we found out upon our arrival and (9) overcharged for my child's snowboarding equipment and (10) understaffed rental shop on a Saturday morning until someone behind me complained to the management (waited more than 45 min to get a snowboard). Yet the part of the resort which we loved the most is where there is less involvement of service staffs: namely ski hill lifts. This kind of services is not worth $200 a night accommodation + rental/lift. My family was thoroughly disappointed in the stay.

Nice resort and a great learning hill. No ski lockers or valet though so you are carry all your gear to and from the hill. Also, once at the main lodge, there is nowhere to store your non-skiing gear except for an unsupervised room with some tables and chairs. Most people just seem to leave their bags on tables in the upstairs cafeteria. Tubing hill was great. The Inn was very nice and comfy.
