Victoria specifically mentioned this extended stay as enhancing her overall experience. The accommodation receives praise for cleanliness and quality, with Sabrina noting that "everything was great from start to finish" and that her "room was clean."

#3 Hunter Mountain - Accommodation Options Rating
Hunter Mountain offers a solid mix of accommodation options that please most visitors. Our reviewers mention that staying on-site provides excellent access to the slopes. One Snomad community member liked the range of places to stay both within the resort and in the surrounding area. Some accommodation provides easy access to the lifts, particularly handy for families with kids.

While not as luxurious as some western resorts, the accommodation serves its purpose well for a proper East Coast skiing experience.
