What can you expect from a cheap lodge? not much! The location is very close to Hunter Mountain Ski resort ( basically around the corner), but far from the busy/trendy bar area. The rooms look/felt clean, nice big king sized bed - comfy; did not use the hot tub, but you would need ear plugs if you are a light/medium... more

I stayed at the Forester Lodge with 7 other friends for one night in March 2009. The rooms were very large and clean. They contained coffee makers and mini fridges. There was information for free wifi in the room but we did not get a chance to use it. A short distance away (a 2 minute drive or probably a... more

I would not stay here again. The view is great and the rooms are quite large. A plus with a lot of ski equipment. However, the room was cold and uninviting and the beds were very uncomfortable. The roll away bed one of my sons used was a joke. He slept on the floor instead. The worst part was the... more

Closest to Hunter mountain. Our room, with a view of the mountain, was HUGE with two double beds. The beds were very comfortable. The room was clean. We had total climate control of the room--important after a day of skiing in the cold. The bathroom shower gave more hot water than ANY hotel I've been in in recent memory. A... more

I expected worse but was surprised. The room was cozy with a newly, renovated bathroom. Not a luxurious stay, the building reminded me of a college dormitory. Nonetheless, I really don't have anything to complain as far as the room went. However, if you expect to have a relaxing night of sleep after a looong day of skiing, this place... more

The Forester Lodge is a perfectly decent low-priced motel. It was a full $100 cheaper than other properties in the area we looked at, the room had a lovely view, everything was clean and well presented and the owner was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was included with the room rate at a little bagel shop a 5-minute walk away.... more

Situated very close to Hunter mountain ski resort(10 minutes walk). Friendly staff. Nice view (with had a room with a view). Rooms looking VERY bad (need renovation: faucets with corrosion, bath tub was dirty with black stains and ceiling was bloated due to humidity. Some walls in the room were dirty, and one of them even had a hole in... more

We booked our stay here for one night through the lodge's website. We figured how bad could it be for just one night? I was so disappointed. The room had such a bad smell, the bathroom was disgusting (in need of major repair) and the beds were really uncomfortable. This place does not look well taken care of. There was... more

Stayed in July. The accomodations were great. Great rates. Clean, new furniture, great pool, friendly staff. We only stayed one night but we loved it.

Our family and friends (12 in total) stayed at the Forester for two nights for the German Alps Festival. We had rooms facing the spectacular mountain view. After reading some of the previous reviews we were scared of what we would find. Although lodge is old and tired, it was spacious and clean. Beds were comfortable, with fresh linens and... more
