The Kandahar Lodge is ranked one of the top ten places to stay in the Whitefish area. I booked it for the ratings and location up on the mountain. The staff was nice and helpful. To be honest, it was a throwback to the 1980s-1990s. Our room was straight out of the 80s-90s except for the flat screen tv. We were on the "second floor," which was actually the third floor. We got there later in the evening. The front desk attendant and another man helped us haul our luggage up the multiple flights of stairs. I think they are used to it. The accomodations are fine and clean, just not updated. The room above us was occupied by a family and sounded like someone was teaching a ballroom dance class, all night long, four out of our five night stay. I discussed it with the front desk after the first night. They said if it happens again, meaning keeping us up all night, they would look into it and maybe say something. We just dealt with it. The Kandahar Lodge was built, apparently, before soundproofing materials and elevators were in every hotel. It would be hard to retrofit one, but one is surely needed. It's quaint and nice with a nice staff. For the ski season, it is located next to a lift.

Very clean and friendly staff, but outdated. Not super family friendly for younger kids as theres not much for younger ones to do and rooms are small. Kitchens in rooms are fairly well stocked with tools and utensils.

This hotel is not fancy but incredibly charming. The staff were so friendly and helpful and the popcorn, hot chocolate bar were a HIT with my kids. We will definitely come again.

Room was a great space for our family to spread out. The common areas around lobby and main fireplace lounge are cozy with plenty of seating. Daily breakfast was great!

Too early in the season! The hotel had just reopened and we found our room had the all appliances unplussed, and the tv didn't work. Also found the hotel very noisy with young kids running in the halls at 6am. Should have been looked after better by the hotel staff
