My family and I loved our stay, the chalets and its surroundings are absolutely fantastic! The smaller rooms are perfect for your snowboarding trips, BUT would definitely recommend upgrading to the bigger chalets (the ones with the kitchenette) if you're just coming to enjoy your stay .
We have been here twice this year and would definitely consider coming back, but if we may add our two cents here... flexibility for a late checkout would be greatly appreciated by active guests like us. We asked for a late checkout on both our visits and we failed to receive a positive

Stayed in a townhouse. Great location and pretty comfortable.
Be aware, no AT&T signal there. Verizon works. Wifi is rate limited and extremely slow, like 1990’s dialup slow.
Kitchen knives are all dangerously blunt. Hope the management will get them sharpened. Kitchen does not have common utensils, and what it does have is limited. If you expect to cook anything significant, bring your own utensils etc.
The place made my allergies flare horribly. I am not sure why. Probably just dust and maybe the comforter.
Staff was super kind and helpful.
Overall given the location and general layout

The woman running the front desk, Mimi, was very polite and was able to not only accommodate my request for a body pillow but also told me about a tag I had hanging on my shirt. That saved me so much embarrassment. I'm very grateful. She was easy on the eyes but my wife said I shouldn't keep staring. It is impolite Im told.

First visit during summer 2021 for a weekend getaway with my two daughters. The cabin for three was just the right size to shower, sleep, and just hang out. Golden hour hikes around the property were relaxing after a meal. Pinecrest Lake is just a 5 minute drive away. Cabin included table for dining, bathroom with shower, TV, bunk bed for 3 (full bottom/twin top), and coffee with coffee maker. Towels, pillows, and bed linens included also. We will definitely be returning for another weekend getaway.

No information and NO communication. The forest was shut down and the Rangers came around telling us to leave our second day there and the Chalet will not refund us for the night we didn't stay they because we were not out by 11am, we were not told of the forest shut down at 2pm. So unless you can tell the future and know when shut down are happening do not stay here. They claim it is in emails that we never got and it's awful of them to not cut us a break given it was a forest evacuation and not our choice.
They will also not tell you about hidden charges, they wanted to charge us a full wedding

Beautiful area. Enjoyed the hiking. Accommodations are just ok. Ice machine old and broken. Pool green. Good thing I didn't come for the pool. Room not supplied well. Room sleeps 8 but only 2 cereal bowls etc. Beds only have a fitted sheet and a comforter,, no flat sheet or blanket. Plus no one ever in the lobby to speak with and a note on the buzzer that says not to ring. Was here for 2 nights and only saw one employee that we had to search for 20 minutes to find. If you consider this place please pack as if you were tent camping.

This is our 3rd time staying at Pinecrest Chalet. We've stayed in a small chalet, a townhome, and now the largest townhome "B". We just love this facility! The units are clean, several recently updated, decently stocked kitchens. We BBQ'd, went swimming, kids enjoyed the playground, basketball court, and s'mores at night by the large fire pits. Scenery is beautiful, right on the river. Staff is helpful and nice. If you haven't stayed here, must try it!

What a great week long getaway my wife and I had in Chalet #7. Check-in and check-out was easy. All facilities were in good working order and when we needed to change out linens and towels, we simply went to the lobby and staff was more than happy to get us fresh ones. Staff were friendly and helpful, they even let us check out other larger cabins when they were cleaning them as we plan on getting a large group to stay there in the future with us. With a short mile or so drive to Pinecrest lake it was very conveniently located. The lobby offered many DVDs and books to check out (no cost). What

Overpriced for the quality and cleanness of the rooms and you get mice staying with you in your room as a bonus!! Could hardly sleep at night because mice were actually walking all around the room in my bags and boxes so I had to put my bags outside the chalet in the middle of the night. I found Mice droppings next morning on the kitchen counter and in the bathroom next to my toothbrush!! Also the WiFi did not work at all. I do not recommend this place. I have stayed in much better places for this price.

First time staying at Pinecrest Chalet. My two daughters and I stayed in cottage #3 Birch. The cottage was small and cozy, and provided a place to rest and shower. There is no kitchen but a table and chairs are provided indoors to eat meals. A toaster and coffee maker were provided. Bed linens, pillows, towels, hands soap, a small fridge, and micro were also provided in the cottage. No WI-FI but was able to make calls and text. Outdoor areas allow one to enjoy walks and short hikes. Friendly staff and room cleanliness met my expectations. Overall a quiet and cozy location to relax and recharge

Take my advice - this place is sketchy. Maybe not under previous owners but beware of the current owner. On site managment is absent and/or unresponsive - just read the recent reviews below.
I'm raising a Huge Red Flag here on wedding reservations. We visited in early April 2021 and were given a wedding date in June 2022. All good, seems like a great place for a wedding.
Since then we have been unable to get a hold of any responsible person to discuss contract terms and deposit. Phones have been "out" for weeks and, when we do get through we're given a different story

With all of the restrictions and travel precautions taken place this year, I was in need of a place to relax and refresh. I came across Pinecrest Chalet that has individual cabins, chalets and townhomes. An added bonus was that it was pet friendly.
I decided to book a chalet for our family and our family dog. Nestled amongst lovely large trees with the sound of a creek running nearby. This was a nice quiet place to reboot.
We went in the winter time, it was chilly but no snowfall yet. The cabin was kept warm by a lovely fireplace that was controlled by a thermostat. We had a small full kitchen

We stayed here when we got married and it was awesome! Very cute and cozy, stayed plenty warm, the shower water stayed hot for two showers back-to-back, and the beds were super comfortable! The Wifi is not the greatest though, so make sure to be prepared for that. But that is kind of the point of being in the woods. I would also recommend bringing some dvds if you want something to watch on your down time because there aren't many tv channels. Overall a great place to stay though, the staff are super nice!

Just got back and we had a great time. We stayed in Osprey and it was great. Very clean. The folks in the office are also nice and helpful. It is generally very relaxing and quiet there.
A couple things to point out:
- when the heat kicks in and goes off it does make a bit noise that may scare/annoy little kids at night. It's not very loud but it is a rumble so the kids were trying to figure out what it was.
- TV channel selection is very light. They have a DVD player so bring some or you can borrow some from the office.
- No AT&T cell service. Heard Verizon works.
- Wifi is slow. They

Stayed here in the past. I think they have different owners now. Very disappointed with our stay. The housekeeping staff seem "sketchy." One of their staff was driving around in a golf cart blaring his music. He was also smoking even though there is EXTREME fire danger in the area (no campfires, propane stoves, smoking, etc.!!!!) Cottages need updating(leaky shower, poor painting, floors, etc.) There was a dead fly on bathroom window sill. Would not stay here again.

Great location near the lake. Loved the quiet location. Cabins were well maintained, nice beds and furnishings. Plumbing was good and worked well. Enjoyed the bbq and fire pit, porch on the cabin (Eagle #6) had a nice view of the creek.
Wifi is advertised but only available near the office, so keep that in mind.
We had to depart early due to the increased fire danger, hope we can return soon.

The townhome (unit B) we rented was spacious, furnished well and had room for 14 to sleep. We only had nine people with us so we had a ton of room for everyone. All the bedrooms are downstairs, there are three bedrooms with queen size beds and one bedroom with two sets of bunkbeds. The kids really liked being in the same room with these bunkbeds. There are also two bathrooms downstairs. Upstairs: no bathroom, livingroom has two futon sofas that sleeps two people each, tv, DVD player, a kitchen & dining area. The upper floor of this unit has a deck that wraps around the side AND the back of

Horrible townhouse and service. I'm from the East Coast and was visiting family on the West Coast. They rave about this place and although Pinecrest is absolutely beautiful.. rent a cabin from one of the other loops! Had townhouse F and it was a nightmare start to finish. During check-in they claimed it was taking longer due to having to deeper clean for COVID.. haha.. what a joke. The place was dirty. Even the dishes (fully furnished) were absolutely repulsive. No front curtains so everyone could see in. Shut the WiFi off two hours prior to check out time. And realized there was 6 other townhouses

Pinecrest Chalet is a beautiful lodge with cabins surrounded by the great outdoors. There's a flowing river in the back and the smell of pine trees everywhere. There are various sized cabins to accommodate couples, families and even larger houses for big groups. It's under new management as of the beginning of December 2019.
Our room had a queen+futon to sleep 4 comfortably. There was a microwave, hot shower, water boiler and plates and utensils. Very convenient and we cooked up some simple dishes and ramen. Fyi, there is no food or supplies within Pinecrest Chalet, so prepare your food

We family of 4 with 3 dogs stayed at 2 bedroom townhouse ground floor unit G. It was good size room for us. We enjoyed our time here. Check in was easy. I like there were DVD for us to borrow at lobby. We watched some old school movie with our kids. Kitchen had most everything we need. The bed were comfy and hot water was running ok! We hang out at backyard hill with kids and dogs a lot. There was plenty snow for us to play and dogs wondering around. We bought some board game to here play and also went to ski at ski resort. It was about less than 10 minutes drive. We went for hike at Pinecrest

I did not stay here but am reviewing based on the hospitality of the staff. Being up this way (In the mountains) cuts you off from the cellular grid depending on your carrier. My group and I starved for some wifi were allowed to used it even though we weren't truly guests there. This is much appreciated
Also to my surprise they have a washer and dryer here. Being a bit unprepared for the trip in the clothing department I was able to use the laundry room here which again was a big help making it through my week here as hiking and traversing through the woods dirtied up my clothes pretty good
