Stayed here for a night with my girlfriend and we were literally the only people in the lodge, it is really far from the town of Hakuba, there's a 500 yen shuttle every hour or so that takes about 30 min. But we took a cab back from dinner and it was over 7000 yen.
Pros - $120 CAD a night was pretty cheap for Hakuba in January. Our host was really nice and helpful although we had to use Google Translate a lot as he didn't speak much English. I could see this being a fun place to stay if you had a big group. There are a few resorts quite close.
Cons - when we first arrived the Lodge was really cold and empty, it feels a bit rundown and there aren't many amenities. We were really looking forward to enjoying the big fire place when we got there but it wasn't lit and the lodge was really cold. It's really far from Hakuba, maybe 30 min drive although there is a shuttle every hour or so. There is only one bath/shower area in the basement that men get for 5-7 and women get from 7-9, we didn't use it. Our room was not made when we got there and was also freezing. After we went to bed our host and some of his friends got a fire going and the smoke filled the lodge, it was even quite smokey in our room with the door closed.
