Hotel overview
Perched on a hilltop overlooking the mountain ranges and nearby lakes, this casual 3-star resort offers a mix of relaxation and outdoor adventure. The nine-hole golf course weaves through hilly terrain, ideal for both novices and enthusiasts. Guests can enjoy four swimming pools, including indoor and outdoor options, creating year-round family fun.
The resort’s relaxed American restaurant serves straightforward meals in an informal setting, while the Vantage Day Spa provides opportunities to unwind with professional treatments. Spacious rooms include kitchenettes, appealing to families and longer stays.
Located just a few miles from Lake Winnisquam and within driving distance of Ahern State Park, Steele Hill gives easy access to hiking, boating, and ski attractions nearby. Though amenities are extensive, expect some dated decor and slower restaurant service as noted by visitors.
The property also hosts events, including weddings and laser tag activities, adding to varied recreational options. Friendly staff and clean accommodation remain highlights despite the resort’s remote setting.

Guest reviews
What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“We stayed here through timeshare and absolutely loved it! We went with our 5 month old and they had terrific amenities. Free 9 hole golf course(very hilly), viewing tower (stunning view of mountains), beautiful family friendly indoor pool and video game stations. These are only 3 we used and they had so much more including hiking trails, other pools, sports centre, spa etc. the rooms are a bit dated in terms of furniture but what was very important to us was cleanliness and the rooms were very clean. The staff were very helpful anytime we needed any service of any kind. Overall we really enjoyed our stay here and would return in a heartbeat.”
“I've stayed here three times (once just before COVID) with my family and have been happy every time. Three different room set ups and all have been comfortable for a family of five. The pools are always clean and easy to access. I gave 4-stars for the location because it is off the beaten path (which is ideal to some) and will take you 15-20 minutes to get to a store or more for local attractions. This is a little hidden gem of a place that's not so little.”
“We had a great time at Steele Hill! The view was awesome, the pool in the West building was a blast, and it was easy to check-in, check-out, ask questions, etc. Unfortunately it was raining during our time, so we couldn’t enjoy the trails or playground, but they looked like a blast!! My only complaints would be the lack of an elevator and slow service at the restaurant. Overall Steele Hill was a nice weekend away.”
“We had a wonderful three-day stay May 10th time frame. Our suite was incredibly spacious and well-equipped with everything we could possibly need, including three bathrooms, a large tub, and a full kitchen (though we didn’t end up using it). The king-sized bed was very comfortable, and the views from our private deck were truly amazing. We did the 2.9-mile hiking loop, checked out the multiple indoor pools, went up the tower to see beautiful views, etc. While we didn't utilize all of the free amenities, it’s clear that this is a fantastic destination for families—there is plenty of entertainment to keep kids busy. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a relaxing stay with great outdoor access!”
