The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Cozy Fireplaces

Our stay included a unit with a charming wood-burning fireplace that made our evenings very special, as we relaxed by the fire after a long day of exploration. The constant supply of firewood was a thoughtful touch that completed the cozy atmosphere.

Relaxing Hot Tub

After a full day of hiking, the outdoor hot tub was an absolute delight. There’s nothing quite like soaking in warm water with snow falling around you—it really took our relaxation to the next level.

S'mores Delight

I absolutely loved that the resort offered complimentary s'mores kits for the evening campfires. It was an enjoyable way to unwind after a day of activities, bonding with family while roasting marshmallows under the stars.

My stay at Bluefin Bay was both enjoyable and frustrating. The stunning views were a major highlight of my experience, and I loved the spacious accommodations. However, there were significant issues with the studio unit’s uncomfortable pull-out couch and poorly managed amenities. Overall, if you prioritize location and lake views, it might be worth considering, but be prepared for some disappointments.
