Myoko Forest Lodge

The Lodge is very well presented with a variety of rooms - we had a queen with an ensuite - not really big but totally fine as you spend your time in the main lounge and dining area which is comfortable and relaxing. The staff are fun and helpful, as are the owners, Cheryene and Brett - they are a great team (Cheryenes' a chef and Brett does the transporting of guests and behind the scenes man stuff). The food was great - no need to go out and the wine and drinks in house were fab - they put on a wonderful outdoor drinks party around the fire with Glühwein (and beer or GnT's) which was divine.

Nothing to fault there - all 4 of us loved our stay :)

Staff are extremely accomodating. Very friendly and the food was awesome. Each night had a different meal and some evenings we used the “inori” (Japanese hearth to barbecue on). Really cool relaxing area down by the bar with an open fireplace. Great for recovery days and just chilling out. Transfers to all close snow resorts were not a problem and we will definitely go back.

The lodge is set up in a fusion of western and Japanese style. This means that the showers are quite small. Not really an issue but a little difficult for a tall man like me. But this is minor in my opinion.

This is a delightful, small, independent lodge in a picturesque, quiet little area just outside Myoko. We wondered about staying off the snow, but Shereyne and Brett were so obliging with shuttling us around that it was no problem at all. And they were able to advise on the best slope for the conditions each day. The drying room for ski gear was wonderful. The rooms are a good size for Japan, with lovely, modern appointments. A lovely comfy bed, but not much storage for clothes, as is often the case. We had our own little bathroom , with small bath and good shower, but there was also the option of private use of the big mineral bath, which was lovely after a day on the slopes. We took the breakfast and dinner option, and the meals were superb. A couple of evenings featured an indoor Japanese bbq pit, with fresh seafood, meat and veges - delicious!

We never quite got the hang of the little room heater, which seemed to turn itself off a bit randomly - but we didn’t ask for advice either, so this was probably an operator error rather than a genuine problem.

Amazing vibe and fantastic people. Great food and social atmosphere for guests. Very quiet and laid back, perfect spot if you're looking to hit the slopes all day and get a good night's rest. Transfers to and from the hills are absolutely mint. Thanks Myoko team, I'll be back next year!

All good, nothing I didn't like.

We had a lovely stay for 5 days at the lodge! We didn’t quite get the snow we hoped for, however, Brett & Chereyne were able to give us local knowledge and help us make the absolute most of our trip. The lodge was the perfect place for a rest day and to wind down after hitting the slopes. The food was fantastic - extremely high quality. The bar was excellently stocked. Thanks to all the wonderful staff there. We hope to make it back again soon!

The lodge is super cozy, warm and in a silent place. The food is great (And also the coffee!).The owners are lovely and welcoming, the general atmosphere made our days ;)

The room was a bit small, but cozy and with a great view

very friendly staff, very relaxed atmosphere in communal areas, was great with our kids. Cooking on the fire was great fun.

Staff and owners create great hospitality Very good recommendations for winter hiking

En suite Bathroom difficult to heat

Brett & Chereyne are amazing host, all staff are super friendly & very accomodating: cresting a lovely community feel & we had some really lovely conversations with other guests in the common areas. The daily breakfast was delicious; the best before a full day at the snow. Dinner was available during our stay & the nights we decided to eat-in was no disappointment: the Irori BBQ was exceptional & a highlight. Beds were very comfy & lovely warm interior: appreciated the phone charging bedside lights!
