Great little hotel. I was pleasantly surprised. The rooms are very clean and quiet. The beds are comfy. There was a large, Lazy Boy style chair.

I can’t say enough about Karen and AJ - I went for a 3 day trip to go snowmobiling - phenomenal experience from renting a sled to heading out on the trails. Would highly recommend,

In my line of work I enjoy traveling, the Ridge View Lodge is by far a great place to stay for the night or the weekend, the staff is by far the best thank you lady's. The atmosphere is nice and homing... It's not a lodge. It feels like home

Have rented sleds here for a few years for our guests and now after some of ours broke down and they are fantastic to work with. Sleds are solid. They have a great team from the front desk to the shop. Can't recommend them enough.
