Young Life Mountain Lodge

5 Stars.
I’m one of a lucky few that got the privilege to work here one winter, and it was one of the best experiences in my life. The building aside, the owners are an incredible family and the type of people you would want to support!
That being said, the building is awesome. Funky looking on the outside but recently and beautifully remodeled on the inside. I believe it sleeps 50 comfortable, plus a little wiggle room to negotiate more. It has a full kitchen, huge living room with big beams, fireplace, dining hall area, laundry, game room, apple tv hookup, and is the best place ever to play hide and seek in the dark with a big group.
When I was there the onsite staff was super friendly and really accommodating. Even willing to carry groceries up the hill, but also willing to disappear when it was time.
The lodge is near ski resorts, state parks, mountain biking trails, Donner Lake, and basically everything else you want to be near.
I lot of amazing memories have been created over a very long time at this place, and I thank my God every time I think of them.
Cheers,

I am giving the Lodge 5 stars because it’s perfect for what my group needs. I have been using the Mountain Lodge for years as a venue for various types of retreats for students and adults, in both the winter, summer and the fall (but primarily weekends in the winter).
The facilities are well kept and they always have great staff on hand to help with any issues that we may have, super friendly folks. They have places to sleep, places to prepare food and eat together a larger enough «big room» to hold a gathering of at least 40 people and you’re in a beautiful location. This place is a gem if it’s what you’re looking for.

The Mountain Lodge is a beautiful, well-​maintained facility with everything you need for a mountain get-​away! The kitchen is fully stocked for cooking, the main living room is a great place to hang out with a group of people, and the bunk rooms can sleep up to 50 of your closest friends. My first time staying at the Mountain Lodge was 14 years ago, and I’m still enjoying it today. It’s a great place for groups, every season of the year.

Young Life’s Mountain Lodge is our favorite places to take groups skiing. The accommodations are very good with lots of room for large groups. The onsite staff have always been very helpful and skiing at Sugar Bowl is just 10 mins away.

Huge space! Love this place. Mostly used as a ski lodge for groups for the weekend. Very nice… close to Sugar Bowl.
