So cozy and welcoming. Feels like home, feels like nostalgia, feels like a distant resort. Also, great cheese pizza! We stay with the free night with two full day tickets to Sipapu Ski Basin. I love love love this place and so do my kids. The cabins are cute, warm, and sturdy although they are a little old fashoned, but that's good enough! We will stay here again and again now that we know....ooopps I should have kept this place a secret.

Residents are so nice. The grounds are super clean. My sister had her wedding there and everyone was so welcoming and helpful. Plus, it’s so so quiet and peaceful out here. If I could I would buy a little lot and be here anytime I could. They have fun little games like cornhole and shuffle board. Love the ambience. Great great atmosphere.

Beautiful course, was not informed they only had 9 holes available. Staff worked with us. Considering they lost the lodge in the big fire the course was great to play.

Service was exceptional! We took advantage of the packaged ski deal with Sipapu Resort. The lodge was beautiful and very relaxing. Pendaries village residents were very welcoming & even included us in their annual holiday gathering for the town. The lodge staff were very hospitable. Would definitely vacation there again!

Just returned from our first visit to Pendaries Village and Golf Resort. The lodge was nice, the food was great, and the golf was really good. I wish when I registered in I would have been informed of everything they had to offer and times places opened. The Moosehead restaurant has great food at good prices. The snack bar at the course serves great breakfast and good options for lunch. Now to the golf course. One of the most enjoyable courses I have ever played. Such a well designed course that includes a back nine as scenic as it can get. You can be sure we will be back.

Pendaries Village Lodge was a perfect getaway for relaxation spending time in nature. Wid and Caroline are wonderful hosts. They were gracious and attentive all of our inquiries. The location is lovely and relaxing. The charm and warmth of the people and Village made for a wonderful break from a fast-paced life.
