This is a somewhat quirky, but pleasant hotel. It is located on the scenic access road to the ski area. The view is jaw dropping in most of the rooms, particularly the dining room. The rooms, hallways and lobby all have knotty pine walls and simple modern furniture giving the whole hotel a rustic Scandinavian feel. Since the king rooms were full, we had a 'family' room, which had a queen bed in a somewhat small space, and a closet like bunk bed room, which I suspect kids would love. The room was clean and had plenty of wall hooks and lighting. The two headed shower was great. The indoor swimming pool was very nice - large, clean and heated, surrounded by slip proof wooden flooring. Just outside the pool room was a spacious outdoor deck with a hot tub and comfortable lounge chairs as well as an unusual sauna out in the trees. The breakfast was basically a large selection of baked goods (some were homemade), jams and sliced melons. Having breakfast out on the front deck overlooking a 180 degree view of the mountains was a high point of our stay. Like most hotels, there were some small negatives: Since the hotel was built into the side of a hill, parking was not that close to the rooms but a good walk away - you can unload at the lobby however. Not ideal for folks with mobility issues. Strangely, the rooms didn't have fridges. There was a tiny community refrigerator, microwave and washer/dryer available, but the refrigerator was far too small for the whole hotel. All in all, our stay at the Horizon was pleasant, and we would have no problem returning.
