Outside of some newer carpet, it didn't look like the place had been updated since the 1960's. NO TV or WIIFI. Lumpy old beds (probably original mattress), Old uncomfortable chairs and sofa/sleeper bed, Worst night of sleep I've had in a long time.

We enjoyed the fire pit a lot. The room was satisfactory, missed having a tv, a little bit. The ceiling tile in the bathroom kept falling down. We would probably stay here again, though. Its a beautiful spot and close to Ely.

Was ok - stayed 2 nights but no breakfast/food despite a restaurant on the property. Had to walk down cement stairs to get to room. Could not enjoy view or open windows due to heavy smokers being outside quite frequently. There are talks about this property being torn down this fall.

There was no hand soap in bathroom or ANY soap for that matter. It was very dusty and odorous. Their website claims amenities that are either non-existent or not working. There is no sauna, no restaurant, no homemade pizzas. It was so bad we did not stay our second night even though we paid for it. My husband is such a grace giving man, he asked me not to say anything to the attendant and simply thank her. So we did. Please update website. This was super disappointing and it could all be remedied. What awesome potential and prime location. I hope my feedback is used constructively.

I loved the location and it was quiet and close to the river! Parking was a little cramped and our coffee pot was broken. Other than that it was very nice!

Loved the location by the lake, outside views were lovely. Inside of cabin was very neat, clean and comfortable. Outside of cabin was rustic and showed a lot of weather wear but did not affect the inside ambiance.

they advertise Internet, but there is no Internet in the rooms. They should clearly state that. They could easily update the furniture and carpeting in the rooms. Also the steps leading down to the bottom level of the building needs to be replaced for safety reasons.

Never Again
The pictures of the room showed a stove and full size refrigerator -- the reality is a small refrigerator and no stove. The carpet was peeling up from the floor and we were lucky it wasn't hot out because the air conditioner is missing the control knob. There is no wifi, no TV and no landline in the room. Some of their docks were partially submerged and very difficult to traverse from shore. There are campsites almost right outside the door of the room and no soundproofing -- you can hear everything in the rooms next door and outside. The drop ceiling is in pretty rough shape and virtually zero water pressure in the shower. Will not stay here again.

We had a great experience at Silver Rapids Lodge. The place is a gem, very clean, friendly, rustic, and for the right price. The cabin had all we needed to make our trip comfortable.

Beautiful stay. Cabins look like they are straight out of the 1970s which I thought added a nice touch to it. Appliances all worked well and was comfy. Very clean inside, and the area around it was really beautiful. We will most likely be back as we go up north to Minnesota once or more times a year.

Bumped room
I was reserving a cabin not a motel room. When I made my reservation they sent me a picture of the cabin I reserved. When I got there they said oh no they only have a room in the motel. I said that was not what I reserved! I strongly believed that they bumped us to the motel room for a better reservation. That ticked me off. We heard the people upstairs all 3 nights!
