Snowpine Lodge

I regularly stay at 5-star hotels, but Snowpine Lodge has set a new standard for hospitality and excellence. From the moment I arrived, I was treated with such kindness and attentiveness. The staff and management were incredibly accommodating, always ready to go the extra mile. The accommodations were luxurious and comfortable, with attention to every detail. I highly recommend this gem for anyone seeking a memorable and delightful stay. I can’t wait to return!

Snowpine Lodge in Alta is amazing! From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel so welcome. The lodge has a great mix of cozy, rustic vibes and modern comfort. Our room was super clean and had breathtaking views of the mountains. The amenities were awesome. We loved soaking in the heated outdoor pool and hot tub. The on-site restaurant had delicious food, and the breakfast buffet was a perfect way to start our day. The best part was the friendly and helpful staff. They really went out of their way to make sure we had a fantastic stay. Whether you're here for the skiing or just to relax, Snowpine Lodge is the perfect spot. We can't wait to come back!

We absolutely loved our stay at the Snowpine! A beautiful resort in an amazing setting. The staff was very welcoming and friendly. The food, the spa and the pool were a huge hit with us. We wish we could have stayed longer. Thank you for a relaxing time that was much needed! We’ll definitely be planning a return trip.

This hotel checks all the boxes. The design, decor, amenities and stunning views exceeded all our expectations. The games rooms are huge with a multitude of fun things to do. The food was delicious and well prepared. The staff were helpful and friendly. I wish we could have stayed for our entire trip. Unfortunately we had to leave early because of a health issue. The management went above and beyond to help us. Shout out to Nathan and his staff. Thank you all so much.

This is the cleanest place to stay. The staff are kind, helpful and go out of their way to make you comfortable. While dinning all the food was delicious. If you want an amazing spa experience they have a beautiful place with awesome staff. The whole lodge is first rate. Love this place I would highly recommend.

We have been staying at the Snowpine Lodge for the last 3 days and had a wonderful time with our family. Every part of our experience exceeded our expectations! The staff is super friendly and helpful, the rooms are gorgeous and very clean, and the hotel has stunning views that are unbeatable. In addition the beauty all around, the hotel has a fantastic play room for kids, pool, hot tub and grass area for yard games. This is a family favorite spot. Thank you to the snowpine staff for such a wonderful stay.

Snowpine Lodge is a wonderful escape from the world in the beautiful Wasatch mountains. We visited in the summer. The views are spectacular and the atmosphere is relaxing. The staff is absolutely amazing!! They took care of all our needs. They were very attentive to our needs with our autistic son! 5 stars for sure!!

I’ve stayed here for both large family gatherings, as well as smaller more romantic getaways and it’s provided amazing experiences for both. There’s great outdoor accessibility no matter the season and most gorgeous location. Have stayed here in winter, summer, and fall. The elevated decor and style of the hotel makes for a great experience Always look forward to coming back.

This is the most well established high class resort that I've ever been to nestled right up the beautiful mountains of Alta, Utah. The service is top notch, food is phenomenal , and the amenities are next level. I'm not a skier but I thought it was cool that the resort is right next to a bunny slope, so I was able to practice right outside the back door. The bottom floor has a ski shop where you can get all of your essentials. There's a pool and even two jacuzzis! My favorite part was the jacuzzi time since as mentioned I'm not a skier. Then the fireplace on every floor was the perfect touch when I wanted to unwind with some hot chocolate and a good book. I literally can say nothing negative about this place. Well except the long winding roads up the mountain. Outside of that nope! This was the perfect snowy winter wonderland. I highly recommend hands down.

I had a 3 star experience, but it is a nice place and my experience was just circumstances. Check in was friendly and I had a nice room with a view of the pool. There are limited restaurants open depending on the day and no room service. There are also hiking trails right outside the resort (bring bug pray as I forgot and the hotel didn't have any). On the second day I was there, the power was out all day. They didn't have any control over the power, but do they not have generators? This meant no wifi, hot water, elevators, etc. Then on my third night, there were people loudly in the pool until at least 3am. I repeatedly called the front desk, but there was no answer. Was that one of the people in the pool? I was pretty frustrated by my stay, but Ginnymarie was great when I checked out and helped make it right. The spa was nice. I got a day pass and you can use the grotto (hot tub) by reservation and the sauna and steam room. They also have a relaxation room and brought me a warm neck towel.

My daughter and I checked in to the lodge on 12/28 and my wife arrived on 12/29. When I went into the room I could smell bleach, but, I assumed that was due to people bringing their wet ski gear...but, when my wife arrived she could smell mold. I was looking for the source behind the bed and I dropped my glasses behind the nightstand; when I pulled the nightstand away from the wall a piece of baseboard fell off and behind it was black mold. Once I was able to pull the bed away from the wall more baseboard fell and we found more mold. Upon further inspection of the room I noticed several pieces of baseboard that were loose, I pulled them away from the wall with my hands. Below is what we found (see photos): Good Luck to those staying there. I just hope it's not in the ventilation system.

I canceled a reservation ahead of Thanksgiving weekend well in accordance with the Snowpine Lodge's cancellation policy. However, the hotel elected to bill me anyways. I have been unable to reach the manager of the hotel, and will be opening a dispute with my credit card company as well as contacting the Utah attorney general regarding this property's business practices. The hotel has refused to stand by their own refund policy.

OK, the view is great, and the room we stayed in was nice. (But let me add that my daughter, staying in a lower-priced room came to shower in ours every day because the shower in hers was "too janky". Didn't go see it, myself.) The food was decent, but considering the prices, not up to standard. The real big problem is NO HOT WATER! OK, let me clarify. At 5AM, plenty of scalding hot water. At 9:30 AM, it was, lets say, adequately warm. But at 4PM, showering meant standing under a stream of ice water. When we complained on the 1st day, we were told "a team was coming to fix the problem". Apparently, that's their stock answer, as nothing was done, and a check of past reviews shows it's been that way for years. Also, as also noted by others, no screens. Leaving the balcony door open for any length of time results in multiple flies, or worse, wasps, flitting around your room. So bottom line, if you must book an event there, do your guests a favor and at least have every one stay somewhere else.

I keep giving this place chances year after year, but it's nothing more than a two star property...it is in dire need of an customer service overhaul.

Biked from Salt Lake City to Alta Ski resort on a hot summer day last week. Ran out of water when arriving at the top. Stopped at Snowpine Lodge to walk to bar to ask for water refill. Got stopped at entrance of lodge and denied entry to get water refill. When asked if we could use a water fountain got denied too. Extremely rude manager. Shooed my husband and me away like animals stating " find water somewhere else". We have come to Alta since the 1980's and have never been treated like this anywhere. All we wanted is to refill our bike water bottles.

We have given this lodge a lot of chances as we are passionate about Alta mountain. We have spent thousands here but I caution you to vacation here. We had low expectations but somehow the staff actually made our vacation terrible at every turn. The food was worse than any cafeteria I could imagine, and every request even more complimentary bottled water to our room the staff scoffed at as if we were asking for the world. This lodge has a great location but the terrible service cannot be ignored (I wish) and actually menaces your vacation at every turn.

To be completely honest, part of me feels like I shouldn't even be reviewing Snowpine because I didn't spend the night there. I did however have a work meeting there and was truly blown away with how gorgeous the hotel was and how friendly the staff was. Our work meeting was on the bottom floor adjacent to the pool and hot tub. They served us breakfast and everything was WAY better than your typical convention food. They had these bacon, cheddar scone things that were amazing. I was also impressed by the level of detail in the lobby, the kind employees and what looked to be great restaurants. I will update the review once I try every else. But as of now it deserves 5/5 from what I've seen.

They have no idea how to run a hotel. Employees do not know what service is. Food is worse than the worst cafeteria I've eaten in. Bars close at 8pm. Bartender was drunk and threw things across the bar in a fit in tears. Nobody wants to help with the slightest thing - even bringing water to the room. Reserved a rollaway bed with an email confirmation and we showed up to find out there wasn't one available. Guests feel like they are inconveniencing the employees rather than being served for the high price they are paying. Priced like a luxury resort, run worse than a Holiday Inn. Skiing at Alta is good, but you're better off staying elsewhere.

Excellent stay at the Snowpine Lodge! From the moment of check in until checking out was a perfect experience. The front desk staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. The hotel is very clean, modern and beautiful. The rooms are very well appointed, the beds are comfortable, the views of the mountains are incredible. The restaurant in the hotel is very good, the bar tenders are extremely nice especially Brett, great selection of local beers and bourbons! The ski shop is inside the hotel and the staff is very friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. This is a ski in ski out property with direct access to Alta/Snowbird. You even get your own ski locker! Loved the spa, hot tub/pool and game room! I would highly suggest recommend this hotel to couples, people traveling solo or anyone looking for a great ski experience! A +

We stayed at Snowpine Lodge this weekend for a little family get away. The entire lodge and our room were BEAUTIFUL!!! Our room was very spacious with a beautiful walk out to a huge deck that looked out at the ski resort. We loved The Nest! My kids had such a good time playing the arcade games and pool and because of COVID, we had the space all to ourselves for an hour and a half! The pool and hot tub were nice. The pool was a little cold though and could stand to be a few degrees warmer. My only complaint was I wish there were more places to eat. I know it is the offseason, but our only choice was The Gulch Pub which is only open during dinner. Overall, it was a beautiful place to stay and staff were friendly! We'll be back!

Loved our stay. People were amazing--especially Hollis. They were I able to offer us an upgrade through my CC, which was great. The rooms are good size. The common areas are incredible. Fireplaces everywhere. We are coming back for sure.

Unfortunately, we had a really poor experience with Snowpine Lodge; it was one of the worst sales experiences we've encountered from any business, let alone a 4-star hotel. We had the following happen with the events manager: - She canceled 2.5 hours before our appointment. On 6/25, I scheduled time with her to see the space while we were visiting from out of town. My parents were driving up to see the space with us and I emailed the events manager to confirm the time two *days* before our tour. She didn't respond for those two days, but instead canceled 2.5 *hours* before our appointment and stated "no one else on the team" but she can give tours. - She ghosted us. We rescheduled with her for the following Saturday after canceling our other plans. We got there and the front desk team said she wasn't there. We waited 25+ minutes while they called another staff member, who had left for the day, to come back to the lodge to give us a tour. This was frustrating for two reasons: first, because she just didn't show up to the meeting, and second, because someone else gave us a tour which she had stated wasn't possible days before. We felt lied to and unappreciated. We found out from the staff she had Covid, but even so, she could have communicated that to us and made a plan with other staff to take over. Instead, she just didn't show up or let us know. - Finally, she was unresponsive. We were willing to overlook being canceled on at the last minute and ghosted after rescheduling because we wanted to make it work. That was a mistake. It never got better. We had to practically beg her to give us information on dates, pricing, amenities, etc. She took 7+ days to respond to emails - if she would respond. This is just not acceptable from a business. - Last, we reported our experience to the General Manager and Sales Director, and they simply didn't respond. Maybe they're busy or they just don't care about guest experiences - either way, it's not cool. Overall, it was a terrible, unprofessional experience that left us feeling confused and frustrated. We were prepared to spend tens of thousands of dollars with them for an event and unfortunately, they just don't have the experience to deliver for customers. I was super disappointed by their actions. Bottom line: For others looking for a venue, look somewhere else - it's just not worth dealing with the staff when they provide an experience like this for prospective customers.

The Snowpine Lodge is not only set in the most gorgeous setting, it is gorgeous itself. The lodge has fantastic service and remarkable dining but what I went for, was the world class spa. I went to the Snowpine Lodge Spa for a massage. It was a true treat. I booked with Michael and couldn't recommend him and this facility enough. There is something for everyone at this location if your traveling in a group. The restaurant is fantastic, there's a variety of treatments, a game room, a heated grotto spa style pool, cozy nooks throughout the building. It was awesome - I'll be back for a lash lift and a facial with Renee next time and of course another massage with Michael. Living in Oakland, I realized I can get to Alta Utah faster than Tahoe. I'll be back for sure!

SnowPine Lodge Staff has gone above & beyond to guarantee a memorable experience for our family during such challenging times for businesses!

Gah! I want to sit in the bar with a glass of wine when it's snowy... the atmosphere was so cozy! Went with a meetup group and the staff were incredibly accommodating! I had the ricotta pancakes with a side of bacon, no complaints, I'd definitely eat this again. Was plenty of food (I ate half) and the entire menu was appealing.

The Snowpine Lodge is the most beautiful hotel Little Cotton Wood Canyon has to offer. The other options don't hold a candle to this newly renovated hotel. Each floor has a beautifully designed "family room" that is great place to hang out as a family or with friends. My kids were obsessed with "The Nest" which is a game room that has tons of fun activities for kids to do when not on the slopes. The pool is heated year around, so they also loved going there and warming up in the hot tubs. But my favorite part was the SPA!! Katie gave the best facial and I had an incredible massage by Ivana. The cheeseburgers from the bar are delicious and was my go to after a long day of skiing. The rooms were comfortable, clean, and beautifully designed. We can't wait to go back!

Really torn here. Location is awesome, fall colors amazing, and the place has so much potential but we had a bad experience. First off we booked the place because they have a heated pool to keep our high energy 1st grader busy on a Saturday but when we arrived, we're told there was a wedding that reserved the whole area the whole afternoon and evening but no where on their website did they tell us that before booking. We definitely would've gone elsewhere had we known. When I asked to talk to the manager about it they said they'd call me when we got to the room and they never did. Called down a couple of times and could never get them. Weird? However, they have a really cool, free game room and arcade which my daughter loved. Another odd thing was the room we were given was underneath the restaurant kitchen so it was extremely loud and bumpy all night. We also had a roof and exhaust stacks in-front of our window which made us scared to open the slider since we didn't know what was being exhausted. See pictures. Barely slept a wink. The food was really good though and the scallop risotto was the best I've ever had. Breakfast was ok and did the job. The staff overall was really nice and were accommodating besides the fact I couldn't get time with the manager. If youre going to book here, make sure there are no events because it's not big enough to have events and other guests at the same time.

Admit it, you're not coming to Snowpine Lodge to stay in your room. So it shouldn't matter that the room doesn't have much space for friends to crash on the floor (if they do, then somebody's probably going to get stepped on!). There are balconies and living room type spaces in which to spread out on each floor--go explore other floors to find the porch swings or couches by a double-sided fireplace. There is room for everyone to stay plugged-in, however. Both nightstands have USB ports in addition to a duplex outlet on the side. Plus, the wall outlet the lamps are plugged into are above the top of the nightstands so you don't have to move furniture to reach them. Then there's also outlets all along the wall, including one set higher above the bench so you can reach it over your pile of luggage. There's an outlet on the balcony, of course by the sink, and even one in the water closet with the toilet! The dresser is built-in with a countertop, and also has an outlet, which is a good height for standing at a laptop. There is a desk with a computer in the open seating area on Level 2, and a spare chair with extra desk space if you need to sit to get some work done (open guest WiFi, bring your own VPN). It is a bummer that no mini fridge is included at this price (I guess they bought electrical outlets!). During the low occupancy of the summer when we were here, the game room arcade was in free play mode! They also have board games and a pool table which were available for free use. We bought the cheapest king room (nonrefundable advance purchase through the property's website), and even though we're only on the second floor, we have a fantastic view of the ski hill. Even the outdoor pool and hot tubs (there are two -- separated by outdoor couches around a fireplace), which are on the bottom level, seem 3 stories up since the place is built on the side of a hill. Though we got lucky and our room has a balcony, there is no screen on the slider. So even though the "lawn" by the pool is artificial turf, there are mosquitoes which force a choice between letting the mountain air in and keeping the pests out. As for noise, the neighboring room may be unoccupied the night we stayed, but our other wall is to the common seating area next to the elevator lobby and we didn't notice any noise from that; other than doors closing like you would hear through the corridor from any room. The staff is fantastic, the decor is a well matched balance of modern and rustic; the bed is firm, the sheets are smooth, and the pillows are big. All told, we would be happy to stay here again.

Upon entering this lodge you are greeted by a cozy and charming lobby. The roaring fireplace with it's stone mantle. The natural materials incorporated in the seating area. The pine tree theme is displayed on each table. The inviting atmosphere makes it easy to smile and relax! There are no glaring tvs in the lobby, instead you have the outdoor landscape to view. Everyone is quick to greet you and have a fun conversation. (Thank you for that!) However, if you need to catch up on the evening news or watch a movie, there is a tv in the guest rooms. Oh! I also appreciate the small details... Such as the L'Occtane bath and body items in the guest bathrooms. From start to finish, my stay here was pure perfection!

We stayed at Snowpine for our first time and loved it. The staff is beyond friendly the decor and ambiance is as good as it gets and the food was also wonderful. Besides all that the ski in/out access is perfect. Great place to say if you want to ski the goods at Alta.

The Snowpine has impeccable service and is overall a beautiful lodge. The staff bends over backwards for the guests and all of our meals were delicious. The Stilwell spa is absolutely gorgeous and they offer yoga classes to guests, which are small-class sizes and offer hands-on attention. Everything about our stay was 5 stars and I will definitely be back!!

The people are nice, but the design of this"remodel" is horrible. Very. Very. Very. Very. Poorly thought out. Actually, not thought out is a more correct statement. Very thin walls. You can hear every word of every conversation in the next room. The water running in the sink is even audible. It's not good. This place seems like it's trying to be something it shouldn't really be trying to be in Alta. The number we heard was 50 million$ for the remodel.... if that's the case the need to double it, because it's not even close to right, or finished. Danielle in the restaurant was lovely. Her personality and service was great. Molly and Marina at the front desk were also wonderful. The food in the dining room was very good. However, I doubt that Snowpine will be in business in two years, but if it is... I'd go to the rustler.

So far so good! Just checked in last night and am loving the newly renovated digs!

After a massive renovation the Snowpine is now the best hotel in Little Cottonwood. The finishes are incredible. A new lift now serves the hotel making the ski-in/ski-out effortless.

Hands down the best service I have received in the state of Utah! I haven't been very impressed with the food and service overall in this ski trip at Snowbird but once I came across SnowPine lodge I was very satisfied to say the least. The restaurant itself is very nice and there's even a balcony where you can enjoy the amazing view and food. I was very pleased with the server and especially impressed with the chef / new GM, Alfred. He made me a fabulous breakfast and even brought out samples of the hash browns I ordered to ensure they were cooked to my liking. Incredible service and pride! I was prepared to spend a good buck after my meal considering the fact that food is pretty pricy around here but no, very reasonable pricing! Can't ask for better and I will most definitely return.

My family booked a wedding for this venue. I called and booked my room. When the bride to be went to the hotel, the front desk staff told her what room I booked. This caused a huge problem within my family not to mention this is a breach of confidentiality. I WOULD NEVER STAY AT THIS PROPERTY!!!! With the onset of Covid, the reservation was cancelled and I never received a cancellation email or anything! Good thing I was not planning to stay at this unprofessional lodge!

This lodge is not great. It is horribly overpriced for what it is. I had a room with 2 twins that was the size of a prison cell. I had this room alone and I really cannot imagine sharing it with someone. You would not even be able to move. The beds were inches from each other. One wall of this room shares the wall of the ski boot closet. So every time someone puts their boots away, SLAM! There was also a small hole in the wall in the corner, and you could see into the ski boot room. I was well aware that I would have the shared bathroom. It was so-so. From what I could tell, the bathroom was not cleaned daily. It really should have been. I would have given a 2 star review, but the food is really good.

Having stayed at Snowbird's Cliff Lodge (a big hotel that always seems to have conferences going on) the last three times I came to Little Cottonwood Canyon to ski, I wanted a different experience on this trip so I decided to stay at Alta's Snowpine Lodge. What a great decision -- I love Snowpine and cannot wait to return! It's exactly what a ski lodge should be. Built in the late 1930s, over the past year, the lodge has been beautifully renovated in a way that preserves its historic character and makes the space very comfortable, cozy and even homey. I would describe the decor as "Pottery Barn Rustic." The photos on Snowpine's website are 100 percent accurate. While not posh or luxurious, Snowpine offers all the basic amenities that skiers want and then some: very comfy beds with down comforters, on-site ski and boot storage (and a boot changing room), late afternoon homemade cookies when you come in from the slopes, and complimentary transportation between Alta and Snowbird. My East wing room had a flat-screen TV. The staff is highly attentive and accommodating, providing service that is as good as it gets anywhere. The chef (whose pedigree includes working with/under an East coast celebrity chef) is extremely talented so the food is outstanding. This is an important consideration since breakfast and dinner are included in the nightly rate. Every meal was wonderful and some dinners were even spectacular. Because the lodge is small, guests inevitably mingle with one another in the common areas, which include a dining room that overlooks the Alta ski area, and several, well-appointed, den-like, living rooms. You likely will make new friends and even acquire some new ski buddies! Snowpine seems to have a loyal, early season following. A number of guests during my stay knew each other from previous visits in early December. I might just become a part of that "club" going forward!

The Food!! My family and I recently headed up the canyon for an escape from the heat and a little brunch. Passing the mega resort of Snowbird, we headed directly to Snowpine Lodge, as I heard the food was phenomenal. From the views to the food, the experience did not disappoint. We sampled everything! My daughter loved the ricotta pancakes, the porketta sub was amazing, the bacon was cooked to perfection (my son is the ultimate connoisseur)! The ultimate icing on the cake, was the snowpine burger! It was burger perfection! If you are looking for amazing food, service and atmosphere, the Snowpine Lodge does not disappoint!!

Thank you to Dave and Eddie and Robin for another great year. Fabulous people and a fabulous place. Excellent food and great atmosphere for all. I go as a single woman looking to mingle and I always leave with friends.

Easily the best hotel/B&B experience I've ever had. The whole staff is friendly, the included breakfast/dinner is delicious, the rooms are gorgeous, and you can ski to the Alta lifts. What more could you want? Oh and they're happy to shuttle you to Snowbird and always have coffee/tea and snacks out. Wouldn't stay anywhere else

We made a great decision by staying here! We made our reservations after reading the five star reviews on Yelp; but we didn't stop by the website to notice that if you stay more than 2 nights in November, skiing at Alta is on the Snowpine! What?! We don't have to pay for lift tickets this whole week? We were astonished! I love Susan T's review -- now that we're here, we can see how she captures the simplicity and beauty of this lodge perfectly. It feels more like a bed and breakfast...our room is a little smaller than we expected, but no matter, the bed is large and comfortable and the rest of the lodge provides a rustic yet inviting living room to relax and socialize. The view from the historic rooms is of the breathtaking mountains...what an amazing scene to wake up to! The staff (Robin, Neil, Taylor, Tony and Eddie) has been friendly and professional, happy to assist at any request and quick to anticipate our needs. The food -- we made a terrible mistake by not having dinner here last night. Breakfast and dinner are included in the nightly rate. When we arrived around 7:30pm, full from dinner at the Red Iguana, the heavenly aromas from the kitchen and dining room were making us a little jealous as the other guests had their dinner while sipped some wine. After watching a beautifully presented plate of large scallops head to the table next to us -- we couldn't resist; we couldn't miss out! Four huge, perfectly sautéed sweet scallops, roasted brussels sprouts, over a puree of roasted granny smith apples....truly wonderful. We can't wait for dinner tonight!

awesome food (dinner & breakfast) included in your very reasonable rate. everything from bunk beds to private mtn view rooms with their own baths. for a smaller lodge, it gets the right amount of mixing and privacy on an as-needed basis. would be nice to have a spot to tune your own skis....

I love this place!! The staff works extra hard to make you feel at home and to take care of you. The lodge itself is cosy and warm: absolutely no pretense (that's true of Alta in general). I stayed in a double with a private bath and was happy with my room and my comfy bed. This is a low-key place: No night life to speak of but lovely dinners in a pretty dining room. There's an outdoor hot tub and they will arrange a massage (not the best) if you want it. The location is perfect: ski right to the lift. I was worried about coming on a ski trip by myself but it really worked out well. I can't wait to come back with my husband!

We had our wedding at the Snowpine Lodge in September 2014. Robin did an incredible job (event coordinator) and the entire staff went above and beyond to accommodate us. Our guests all felt at home at the Lodge. No one wanted to leave! It was a spectacular setting and the service was excellent. Can't say enough about this place. If you are looking for the perfect wedding spot. You will be happy with the Snowpine!
