Friendly staff and a lovely location make this resort a must-see spot! Camping in our RV there this very minute, using the free WiFi for guests. Food, drink and small campground-style store are wonderful.

The staff was so accommodating! We stayed for Christmas vacation and when I asked if there was a tree in the cabin, she said no but we were welcome to get one. When we arrived she had put up a tree. It warmed our hearts. The cabin was clean and warm with full amenities. Great place to make wonderful memories definitely want to make a tradition out of this. 10 out of 10! Snow pack was high and roads were clear!

Our Favorite Place To Stay When Visiting Butte Meadows. I grew up with my Great Grandparents hunting cabing in the area. How wonderful to have a place to stay with my kids and show them the area. Wonderful customer service! The cabin was perfect for my family of six.
