We booked a mid-week ski and stay package through Killington in late January 2011. We chose Cascades Lodge as it appeared that they had everything that we were looking for. We wanted a hot tub, an on-site restaurant / pub and a lounge with a fireplace. On our first day we drove directly to the mountain and skiied prior to checking in. The temperature was 6 below zero but we were prepared and had a great day. After skiing we went to check in. The location is perfect as it is about 200 yards from the lodge and lifts. We got a room on the lower level. The room had two full size beds, a refrigerator, a small table with two chairs and a TV. It was somewhat rustic with a sliding glass door and you could hear people walking around upstairs. We went to the hot tub and indoor pool, which weren't bad. They were clean and after a day of skiing felt great. After showering we headed down to the pub only to find out that they only have a bartender on weekends. The guy at check-in offered to pour us a beer, which he did but we were somewhat dissappointed that the pub wasn't going to be open during our stay. The story was the same for the restaurant (only open on weekends) except for breakfast. After going out for dinner we retired to our room. The room was pretty cold and there wasn't any way to adjust the heat. We are used to the cold and keep our house at 60 degrees at night in the winter but this was cold. the temp. outside got down to about 20 below and we ended up stacking our bags in front of the sliding glass door and combining all of the covers from both beds onto one to keep warm. When we got up in the morning there was snow inside the room by the sliding door and it was closed. We mentioned it to the lady at the desk in the morning and she said we should have called. They have space heaters, and she brought one to our room. That did the trick and the rest of trip was enjoyable.
In summary the good things were the location, the hot tub, the breakfast. The bad things were rustic accomodations and not all advertised ammenities were open during the week.
Room Tip: Chose upper floor and if you have a problem call the desk.
