We had a mixed experience at this resort. The property has great amenities like ski slopes and trails, but we faced multiple issues with customer service and dining reservations during our stay. While we liked the overall atmosphere and its location for winter activities, the service could have been much better, especially for families with young children.

I recently stayed at Horseshoe Resort for a family getaway, and while we had fun with some activities, the experience was marred by several issues. The check-in process was smooth, and the tubing hill was a highlight for my kids. However, the condition of the rooms and the cleanliness of the pool were disappointing. Overall, it felt like they need to invest more in maintaining their facilities to match the price we paid.

Our room felt dated and poorly maintained, with plumbing issues that made for very noisy nights. I would rate the room at a 5 out of 10.

Our stay at the resort was overall enjoyable with some great water activities for the kids, but we faced issues with cleaning and maintenance during our visit. The condo unit we stayed in was spacious and had a beautiful view of the small lake, perfect for younger kids. However, the dining options were quite limited and felt overpriced for what we received. Overall, I would say it’s a decent place for families, but they could significantly improve their room service.

Rooms

7.0

The condo unit was spacious and had a lovely layout, but it was disappointing that housekeeping didn't do more than just make the beds and provide fresh towels.

Service

5.0

I was disappointed that our room was never cleaned during our entire stay, and when we requested additional towels, they never arrived.

Location

7.0

The location by the lake is nice, but it feels somewhat isolated, with limited dining choices that require a drive.

Dining

5.0

The food felt pre-packaged and reheated, which was not ideal, especially considering the high prices.

The water activities and urban slide were a lot of fun for the kids, adding some much-needed entertainment during our stay.

My recent stay at the Horseshoe Resort was a mix of enjoyment and frustration. The complex offers fantastic skiing and ample amenities, which I really appreciated. However, the decor in the rooms feels outdated and doesn’t match the resort price we paid. The staff was very helpful, especially when I had questions or requests, but some aspects of the service, like food delivery times, could use improvement.

Rooms

6.0

The loft suite we stayed in was spacious and clean, but unfortunately, it felt quite dated with worn furniture and peeling ceiling stucco.

Service

The staff was genuinely helpful and pleasant, promptly addressing our requests. However, there were instances where service at the restaurants felt slow and disorganized.

Location

Dining

The food was decent but inconsistent, with some dishes arriving cold. The restaurant prices were typical for a resort, but could be high for families.

Facilities

7.0

The resort has excellent facilities, including a nice pool and gaming areas, but the drop-off zone for check-in is extremely cramped and user-unfriendly.
