The Kandahar Lodge offers a cozy atmosphere and is conveniently located for skiing enthusiasts. The rooms are clean and well-maintained, providing a comfortable stay. However, the dining options weren't ideal, and the lack of an elevator made access challenging, especially for those on the upper floors. Overall, it's a great getaway for winter sports, but improvements in accessibility and dining variety would enhance the experience.

Kandahar Lodge offers a nostalgic ski getaway with a cozy, rustic charm that makes you feel right at home. The rooms are comfortable, although a bit dated and compact for larger families. The on-site dining options are excellent, especially the gourmet restaurant, but the breakfast could use a bit more variety. The staff stands out for their exceptional service, helping create a welcoming atmosphere for guests. The proximity to the slopes and hiking trails adds to the overall appeal, although the lack of an elevator might be a challenge for some.
