Came here on the recommendation of a friend for Mothers Day weekend. This is a cute place. Little efficiency suites with tiny, Euro-style kitchens, comfortable furniture, and lots of cable TV choices. The location is great -- it's 10 minutes from Crystal Mountain and Mt Rainer National Park, with all that entails (skiing, hiking, etc.) but also only 90 -... More

We have stayed at Alta Crystal twice in the past couple of years and will definitely be back again. The loft suites are great for families (we took all 4 of our boys - 8,10,12 and 16) and there is plenty of room. We love all the great activities offered - particularly movie nights and smores around the bonfire. There... More

We have gone to Alta every year since we moved to Seattle. Our first experience in March 2006 sold us--swimming and sitting in the hot tub while big fat snowflakes cam down on our heads, an elk herd coming right through the resort, and of course skiing at Crystal Mountain. Alta has a great blend of old-time lodge feel with... More

This is a good - not great - little place within 15 minute drive of Crystal Mountain ski resort (which is the most likely reason you're considering this property during the winter). The rooms are cozy, some with fireplaces, but the furnishings, the cabinets, the counters and the appliances are all a little tired (meaning quite used, needing update). It... More

24 people from our sports/social group stayed at this resort for 3 days, two nights Friday March 22-Sunday March 24. We found the accommodations quaint. After skiing all day it was wonderful to jump into a 90 degree heated outdoor swimming pool and a hot tub that was actually hot. The log cabin with an original fireplace was a special... More

We visited the Alta Crystal Resort for President's Day Weekend with 2 other families of four. I wish I could give it four stars, but I'm super picky. 3 1/2 would be my ideal choice! The resort is clean and cute. Our room had a small kitchen with dishes, mugs, silverware, and cooking appliances. It has a two burner stove... More

Stayed here with friends for a weekend of skiing. They give you 2 free lift and gondola tickets with each night of rental ($150 savings), so it makes the price very reasonable for what you get. Though our room was on the smaller side with all our gear strewn around, it was comfortable and very easy to cook in, which... More

With another family, we were able to get the last two units on our winter break. This place books up so reserve early! It lives up to its popularity. The location was roughly 10 minutes from the lifts and on weekends the Crystal ski area parking lots can get very packed. However you could easily spend a day in the... More

We stayed one night between 2 ski days at Crystal Mountain. We all enjoyed the heated outdoor pool surrounded by snow laden trees. After a soak in the hot tub, we lit a fire in the woodstove and relaxed. Beds were pretty comfortable - even the sofabed was not bad. Everything was very clean, though beginning to show some wear....
