The most convenient lodging options are located between the two buildings, though there are beautiful cottages available for rent nearby too. Everything in the village core is within a short walk.

DINING
We highly recommend enjoying some fine dining at The Thistle in Kinlochen. For a bar-grill atmosphere with an entertaining view of the slopes, head over to The Vista Lounge. Family-friendly dining can be enjoyed at the Clipper Cafe and the Waffle Cabin. Off-site and a little ways down the road you’ll find St. Ambrose Cellars, a meadery with some good eats. The famous Iron Fish Distillery is also just a few miles away.
