    I understand this isn't anywhere that snow is decent so it's hard to get good snow. But for the prices they charge it's so funny. Terrible icy gross. Runs are awful. I usually go to alpine but wanted to try here and all I can say is I won't ever be back. Make sure you tell your family and friends it isn't worth it.

    Two of our families planned a trip to Wilmot today. I used six of my epic buddy passes and paid for 5 rentals. I tried to use my Epic Mountain Rewards for the rentals but the lady at the window said it was only good for one rental. I searched all over epicpass.com and wilmotmountain.com and I read all the Terms & Conditions and that is not listed anywhere. After about two runs the kiddos were ready for lunch. We went back to the parking lot and I set up my awning, propane fire pit, camp stove, and Peppa Pig for the kids to watch. Between all of us we had kids between the ages of 3-10 years old. We wanted to be "socially distant" from others so we decided to do our own thing in the parking lot. A gentleman wearing a black Wilmot uniform, driving a white sportsman van with Colorado plates (see photo) approached us not wearing a mask and said that we couldn't have a fire pit and we had to put it out and that tailgating is not allowed because they are trying to avoid gatherings. It ruined our family trip and the kids were upset because they couldn't roast marshmallows. We packed up and left. Everyone is aware of what's going on with the Pandemic and the last thing anyone wants to have is any type of gathering. We are two lifelong family friends just trying to enjoy a day at Wilmot Mountain. If he was so concerned about us he should observe the tables outside of Walt Tavern that had several people at them not wearing masks as well as at the lift lines. When we arrived at home I searched all over wilmotmontain.com and read through the info on the red banner that reads "OUR COMMITMENT TO SAFETY" and "No Tailgating" is not listed. The fire pit I have is the Camp Chef Compact Fire Ring, Smokeless propane-fueled flame. It is actually approved by several National Parks and Counties that are in high risk of fires because it is propane and it also serves as a stove. I have been to Wilmot about 5 times over the past two weeks and have had parking attendants hang out while I had the fire pit on and no one ever said anything to me about it or tailgating. The first paragraph in the Wilmot Mountain section Our Story reads "Since 1938, Wilmot Mountain has enchanted families as one of the Midwest's premier Winter destinations for snowsport activities. Just a short drive away from Chicago and Milwaukee, they have made skiing, snowboarding, and tubing an easy, accessible, affordable and fun trip for the whole family." This was not a "fun trip for the whole family." We are very disappointed with Wilmot Mountain. v/r PVJ

    We had so much fun

    OMG SOOO MUCH FUN, but very very busy all day!! Anyways I will be back next year for sure :)

    Five stars goes to instructor David K. on being such an wonderful instructor. I had never gone skiing before and my friend and I decided to scale Wilmot mountain and try out best at the slopes. She opted for lessons so I decided to join her. Our experience was a zero. David was our instructor and taught us how to ski with just boots on, then with one ski, and finally with both. He taught us the proper safety methods of how to fall and to make sure that we knew how to stop. He was patient, funny, and reminiscent of a proud dad trying to teach his kids how to bike. Except in this case, ski. By the end of the afternoon, my friend and I had gone on the lift by ourselves and we were able to confidently ski down the slopes. I highly recommend David K. if you could get him as an instructor because he made us laugh and made skiing fun. In fact, my friend ended up spending another whole day on the mountain (Wilmot closes in about a week) and I think she'll black diamond ready by next time ;) But seriously, I'm so glad I was able to check this off my bucket list. Wilmot has plenty of parking, a ski lodge and ski rentals. They also sell super expensive, very nice ski gloves which I forgot (thanks to the BF for getting me a pair). Their staff in general are quite friendly and you can tell everyone is excited for the slopes! Apresski!

    We had a great time there, the staff were very nice and friendly, their work was appreciated especially in such a bad snowy day. We had lunch here, and I love the soup so much. However, the rent area was expected to be wider and cleaner. Besides, this was my first time skiing, when I was renting my ski board, the staff was talking to another person and didn't give me a helmet, which I waited in a long line to finally got it.

    If I had to review Wilmot within my first hour of being there, this review would be very different. My boyfriend and I purchased our passes and ski lessons online a week or so in advance and arrived to the resort with ample time to figure everything out that we needed (where to check in for lessons, get or rentals, etc.) As we walked into the first building that held their cafeteria, we approached an employee to ask where we needed to go for our rentals, who then replied "I don't know," and walked away. After finally finding the check-in for adult lessons, one of our passes got misplaced, but thankfully we had the receipt and after a lot of confusion, the pass was found. The majority of the employees, whether they were teenagers or adults, did not seem very friendly or happy to help in any way. The lesson was worth it, but had potential to be better due to the instructor. Now, I want to give my reason for this four star review after all of my negative remarks... once the lesson was over and we didn't really have to deal with the employees, we had a wonderful time. Keep in mind this resort isn't the most beautiful or unique, but for a beginner like myself, it was a great place to learn and gain some experience on skis! My boyfriend, who has skied quite a few times before, agreed with this as being a nice place to learn or for a fun day trip that's not too far from home. Midday we took a break and ate in the restaurant/bar, which was a nice experience and a good time to get a few drinks in before heading back out! Once 3/4 o'clock hit, the place really cleared out. We were making it down the hill and hopping right on the lift. Final thoughts: if you can see beyond the attitudes of some of the employees, you're due to have an excellent time. We definitely plan on going back!

I navigated finding the property, parking, hallways, and my room in the dark. Everything felt calm and organized as it could be once I was in the room. I didn't do nighttime entertainment exploring of the resort though due to no power. As a hotel and conference space, it worked very well. The grounds are expansive, the facilities were solid for meetings, and breakfast was enjoyable. I later learned it once housed a recording studio that one of my favorite albums was recorded at (as part of a Playboy Mansion outpost) which makes me curious to return and explore more. Overall, a solid stay -- 4 stars.

The Christmas decorations were nothing short of amazing. Literally Christmas EVERYWHERE. and the kids could climb on anything. They do a cute little Santa letter pick up by the elves every day at 4pm and my daughter loved this. Our suite was nice. Comfy bed. Updated. Highly recommend upgrading to a suite if you can afford it. Room service was just OK, the first night we called it went to voicemail and they never called back. It was odd. The service was so-so. Front desk staff were great. The brunch spot in the lobby had terrible service... they didn't even think to ask we needed a high chair or chair in general for our little one. Just sat us with no seat for her. The bar in the lobby had one bartender. It took 40+ minutes to get drinks. Overall, I'd come back for the nostalgia of Christmas! But I will be going into town more often for services and food.

I was pleasantly surprised at all it had to offer, even if we did stay for just a night. Coming from northwest Indiana, it was just under 3-hour drive and my two kids under 10 had a blast. The water park resort rooms are a bit dated if you are comparing it to Grand Geneva Hotel, but everything was tidy. It had a 12-cup coffee maker (bring filters and coffee if you are particular like me about coffee), a toaster, blender, full sized fridge, microwave, dishwasher, plates, silverware, cups etc. Soap and a sponge for the sink dishes were nice of them to provide for clean up as well. The room was spacious even for a one bedroom and slept two adults and 2 kids wonderfully. Plenty of space for sitting at the table as well in the kitchen area. The waterpark had PLENTY of lifeguards on duty, a lazy river that was decently laid out, an adults only hot tub and an indoor/outdoor hot tub, a kids play area, two slides and a swimming area. With it being winter the outside pools were closed. There were also various crafts outside the waterpark area for the kids for an upcharge. For the negative: The place is pretty spendy so make sure to account for extra expenses. The cafe in the waterpark area is a bit overpriced in my opinion. Two bags of chips, two drinks and a pina colada that seemed to have no alcohol for 30$. The arcade, even though the games are great and it has many, takes too many credits for each game play. The gift shop by the lobby had ice cream and a small coffee station for a charge. There is a restaurant in the hotel for a breakfast option, but it's not the greatest quality for what you pay for. For dinner we went to the buffet at the Grand Cafe at the other hotel and that was nice, but again, unless you eat 3+ plates of food I don't think it's worth the 50 per adult. Our hotel room had no blankets, only sheets, make sure you ask for extras. Also, if you plan to be at the waterpark all day, a cabana rental may be worth it, we arrived at 3pm and went to swim immediately and there were NO chairs to put our things down on, it seems to be staked out pretty early. All in all we will go back in the summer and see what else the resort has to offer, and we won't mind staying again at Timber Ridge, we will just know what to plan for next time to save on expenses.
