Family Vacation

The holidays can get a little hectic, so planning a family getaway becomes a necessity. Whether you spend a weekend or a full week with us, there’s something for everyone! Start your morning off right by learning how to ski or snowboard from one of our experienced instructors. Then, test your skills in the afternoon by hitting one of our 19 runs. Recharge your energy in the evening by booking a suite in the slopeside lodge and warm up in our sauna or jacuzzi. We have all of the amenities you expect in a resort destination, but our Midwestern roots and small town charm keep people coming back for more.

Dining

The slopes are officially open at Chestnut Mountain Resort, as are additional dining options. Mountain Top Café, which opened on December 9th, is perfect for those on the go. You can grab a quick cup of chili, while making the most of your time on the slopes. Are you looking for more of a “wine and dine” atmosphere? Step inside The Summit or Sunset Grille! Enjoy one of our craft beers or fine wines by the warm fireplace before you enjoy a meal with your family and reminisce about your day on the mountain. With three dining options available, we have something for every palate.

After you’ve spent quality time with your family, spend some time during your break with friends at our resort. Booking a group (15 or more people) means that everyone in your party will receive a deeper discount on lift tickets and rental equipment. Additionally, groups who choose to rent skis and snowboards will receive a free group lesson. Whether you’re a first timer or already breezing through the blues, Chestnut professional instructors will you help you get the most out of your time here.  Affordable rates on group accommodations and lunch tickets are also available.
