Walking into the lodge was impressive and lots of space to explore. We loved the view of Dingle Run and enjoyed watching the skiers, right from the couch, almost as much as skiing. Loved, skiing down the green hill, right to the lift (would be a bit of a hike for a novice skier to get to the chalet and the bunny hill) but the convenience of skiing right out the door is great. Bedrooms and bathrooms were very comfortable and this property would be great with little ones - cribs, cots are all there. Played some good games of ping pong, air hockey and enjoyed cards around the kitchen table. Great firepit adjacent to a little ski jump was a fun place to sit to watch the stunts. Kitchen was cottage friendly and pretty serviceable.
Skiing on the Dingle doesn't t really get going until 10:30 and then ends at 4, and really quiet after that. Hiking up the hill a bit at night and looking back at lodge - prettiest lodge on the hill.
Points to note - Probably not the best property for those who struggle with mobility, although that's probably most ski areas in the Winter. Walks and stairs were very icy due to thaw/freeze and we had to be careful going up the stairs. Almost didn't make it up the hill to the lodge even with 4 wheel drive the one night. Two vehicles in the ditch so having 4 wheel drive is an asset at times. Also, Sir Sams is very family oriented and there were lots of little ones skiing and very few young adults. That's good for some, and not for others - neutral factor for us.
