2/5 - Disappointing
Not much to do outside of skiing (in the winter). The “town” consists of like 5 buildings (post office, library, pub, market, gun shop). Hard to find any dining off the resort property (dining on property isn’t great either).

Perfect location. Had 5 couples and was great to each have own room. Also really enjoyed the fire pit.

This was the perfect cabin and location for our short family getaway. The cabin was very clean & comfortable. The host was extremely responsive. We hope to come back again soon! Thank you, Balsams for your wonderful hospitality .

Again, the resort itself is pristine and beautiful. They just need to update these musty old Colony rooms or charge $40 a night since basically you’re staying in a Super 8.
Make sure to stop in the small cafe Bear Claw! The staff was so very kind and took very good care of us. The food was so delicious. Our eggs were the fluffiest ever! It is a small place but very clean and great prices!
Not much there......
Thompsonville resort area beautiful, the villiage of Thompsonville very disappointing. It appears to be a dying town with nothing available to offer tourist.
Great time, but very pricey accomodations.
