Sun Mountain Lodge

It honestly pains me to leave this review because I had such high expectations after reading so many positive reviews before our stay. We chose Sun Mountain Lodge for our honeymoon trip in August, which made the experience even more disappointing. Check-in was seamless and the staff at the front desk were kind and efficient. The rooms were clean, and the views were absolutely stunning! Truly the highlight of the property. Unfortunately, our experience at the hotel restaurant was extremely disappointing. There were an overwhelming number of flies. I’m not exaggerating when I say it felt like hundreds. At one point, I had to slam my menu shut to kill one that landed on it. It made it very difficult to enjoy our meal. On top of that, the food itself was subpar. I’d rate it maybe a 1/5. It was simply not good. Between the flies, the poor food quality, and the overall underwhelming experience, it did not feel like the honeymoon getaway we were hoping for… especially given the reputation and price point. I really wanted to love this place, but sadly it did not live up to expectations.

Jetted tub blew out chunks of something rusty looking while in it. And the floors in the main lodge common areas look like they have never seen a vacuum so that was gross. Otherwise the views were gorgeous and the restaurant was good and staff was helpful and friendly. It’s a cool place just expected more cleanliness from a resort.

Sun Mountain Lodge remains a premier PNW escape, blending rustic charm with refined comfort. The views over the Methow Valley are breathtaking, and the direct access to winter trails is unbeatable. A huge highlight of the stay was the service; the dining servers were exceptional, providing warm, attentive care that made every meal feel like a special occasion. Between the roaring fireplaces and that legendary chicken curry soup, it’s the ultimate spot to truly unplug. It’s rare to find such a perfect balance of luxury and genuine mountain hospitality

Sun Mt. Lodge IS A BEAUTIFUL resort experience. Located high atop a mountain west of Winthrop, WA. Service is outstanding, employees are friendly and always willing to help out in most situations. Five star resteraunt and elegant bar overlooking the entire Methoelw valley. Although we stay here every summer, this is our first Christmas trip to the lodge. As always, top notch in all categories! So many things to do from cross country skiing, snow showing, sledding, hiking, biking and sleigh rides too exploring Winthrop and all that this charming town offers. Quiet suites (without television) adds to the western Lodge experience. With so much to offer from the Lodge to the cabins at the lake and all of the amenities, there is no reason to leave if that is what you enjoy

The setting at Sun Mountain is incredible. You are literally staying in a billionaires mountain top getaway - and it’s surrounded by an incredible trail system year round. The lodge is lovely. Full stop. They seem to struggle with being chronically understaffed so some things don’t run as smoothly or simply don’t happen. The only major challenge here is the food. I understand that running a quality food program in this location would be extremely challenging - and probably prohibitively expensive. But it’s kind of like they’re not even trying. We will absolutely return, and we’ll arm ourselves eith more of our own food options. Heading in to town to eat yields great food, but kind of defeats the purpose of staying out on the mountain top.
