The Hungry Trout Lodge has a charming vibe and is perfectly located near Whiteface Mountain, making it a great spot for ski trips. The rooms are comfortable and clean, while the dining options on-site are enjoyable. However, if you're expecting a high-end resort experience, this place may not meet those expectations as it embraces a more retro style.
