The Phoenix Inn Resort is a recently re-opened, under new ownership hotel, formerly known as the Copperfield Inn (old Yelp listing is here: https://www.yelp.com/biz/the-copperfield-inn-resort-north-creek).
We were skiing Gore for two days, and if you look around online, this is probably the best and closest hotel to Gore that you'll find. Other places in the nearby area are much smaller B&Bs or motel-caliber places, or you can venture towards Lake George for more selection.
Anyway, we had a great stay here - the new owner is very nice and hands-on, pretty much around from breakfast all the way until we turned in at night, lapping around the property, checking in with guests, and generously addressing any small glitches as they came up. The facilities are nice - some areas could use a little freshening up, but everything was clean and we felt good about staying here. They have a nice sitting area with fireplace, great if you want to hang out with some drinks without sitting in your room. The breakfast that's included is basic but sufficient enough (oatmeal, Nutri-grain bars, fruit, bread, spreads, coffee, juice, etc.), but they do offer hot entrees like omelets and other cooked to order items for additional cost.
While we were here, we had a few rounds and dinner at Trapper's Tavern (which is the on-site restaurant). Trapper's has a nice rustic vibe, and if it wasn't for the pandemic, I'm sure they would have been way more crowded. You can't beat the commute either!
Overall, four stars as is it. They could use just a bit more freshening up here and there, and my skier/winter bias wishes there was an outdoor hot tub (or I guess even an indoor one!). I trust things will be even better next time we're around - and we definitely will! Thank you! read more
