Very nice accommodations.

The cottage was PERFECT. Right on the golf course which with the snow was perfect for the kids to go run and play. Christmas Mountain Village in the winter is a really good (inexpensive) venue to get away with the family and do some winter sports.

When booking this reservation, the floor plan showed the layout of the Christmas Mountain Log Cabins, including a spiral staircase and loft. That is what I desired and that is not what I got. Before my arrival, I asked the owner for the specific cabin I would be staying in and he said that he cannot reserve a specific cabin for us. We would be assigned a random place to stay when we arrived. The owner did use the word "cottage" in all of his communication, but I didn't think much of it. I still expected the floor plan that was pictured at the top of each of our correspondences. When we arrived at Christmas Mountain, the front desk assigned us to a "cottage". And now I know that a "cottage" is not a "cabin". At first impression, the cottage looked like a dud. The exteriors of all the "Cottages" are dated and run-down looking. The driveway, deck and sidewalks were covered in snow when we arrived so we had to shovel it out ourselves; however, we were allowed to check-in 4 hours early, so that may be why our property had not been shoveled. Upon entry of the cottage, we were pleasantly surprised that it was completely renovated with brand new everything in every room except for the fireplace doors which were old, dated, and less than desirable to operate. The interior is perfectly clean and beautiful, but each of the rooms are very cramped. The bottom drawer of the master dresser was broken and unusable. The outlet cover was broken, leaving the outlet exposed to my 2 year old. The kitchen table and chairs were awkward. The large "log" chairs would not all tuck away under the table at the same time so it always left a random chair sticking out somewhere taking up space in an already cramped area. I have stayed in the Christmas Mountain Cabins and the Christmas Mountain Timbers and they are much more comfortable and well appointed in comparison with the Christmas Mountain Cottage. The owner was very responsive and very communicative. We had a nice time overall. The front desk called to check-in on us, which was nice, so I was able to mention the shoveling, the open outlet and the broken dresser to them at that time....so it seems the owner does not maintain the building, but perhaps the staff at Christmas Mountain.

The cottage was lovely. It had a screened porch with a table and chairs where the early risers ate breakfast. The only negative was the WiFi which required a reset every day and didn't work at all the last couple of days. Great setting and a very quick trip into town.

We had an excellent time at Christmas Mountain. We did get one of the recently renovated cottages and it was perfect! Great size, cozy, gas fireplace, cable, DVD player, updated kitchen with all the essentials for cooking and it worked really well for our family (2 adults, 1 toddler, 1 baby). Everything was super clean and comfortable. We spent plenty of time at the pool which was perfect for our toddler since it has lots of toddler-sized fun. However, there were lots of older kids on the deep end of the pool having a blast as well. The outdoor jacuzzi was fantastic! We did head into the Dells, but given the time of year (early Spring), our main plan was to relax at the cottage and pool. They also offer activities for kids at the clubhouse during weekdays, some are free, others have a fee. We took our daughter to finger painting. Most of those activities are probably best for young school-aged kids. We did go to Knuckleheads in the Dells which also had some good indoor fun for a very active toddler. Bottom line: it was perfect for our family! And, it would've been a great place for a get-away kid-free too. There was a bit of confusion the first time I called the resort to verify my reservation. When I called the owner he was quick to respond and straightened things out quickly. He was very helpful and answered all of my questions about the resort prior to deciding to book with him. Everything was as we had been informed it would be. The property is beautiful and they do have activities year round.
