It was clean. Beds ok. Booking said there’d be a breakfast but restaurant was closed. Had to find a town with one. Challenging especially on a Sunday. Wasn’t horrible, but wouldn’t go back.

Our stay was great. The place is relatively poorly run. Check in is akward because you basically have to walk into the restaurant and ask for someone and about half the tine no one os there. The deck area between the lodge and the lake was peaceful, but there were a ton of cigarette butts on the ground.

Great Family run Lake resort . Going through some growing pains since owners have been there only a year and had some surprises. Staff in restaurant are not seasoned due to age and experience. located in very rural area so the pool to hire staff is limited for hospitality industry. All the staff was very friendly and courteous. Food was good and priced well. I will go back when in the area again.

This was my fourth day at the resort, accommodations were excellent but went to the restaurant and I don't know what's happened but the food wasn't good I got the sliders and it was like a Frozen patty that tasted like an old steer. The last time i ate was excellent.. definitely will be back for the accommodations I think I'll hold off on the restaurant though

Loved the keyless door lock. They were great for checking me in over the phone when I had vehicle trouble and wouldn't make it in time for check in. Room was clean and they had the most comfortable beds I'm slept on in a hotel I never received clean towels or washcloths. I guess they won't put them in the room when your gone. Also would have liked a curtain over the window for more privacy and not just blinds.

There was no description of the stairs necessary to get to our room from the parking area. It was that or walk the long way around the closed office. Guests need to read the hours that the office is open. I did not and barely made it in time. The restaurant across the road is the late check-in and they had closed at 8pm just as we got there. Thankfully, they let me in and were more than kind and got us check-in.

Adequate

The room had recently been updated. The flooring, beds are new. Great pillows. The heater was very loud when it would kick on. I know it woke me up at least 6 times during the night ( per my fit bit watch). The in room coffee was awful, but only option in the area. The towels were very thin and worn, and tiny, about the size of a floor mat. Worst hotel towels I have ever experienced. The balcony was a plus with a beautiful view of the lake. Not sure I would stay here again.

Good but needs help

In the beginning a very accommodating place, first night no issues although confusing on where to go to check in. 2nd night they are clearly under staffed for any sort of dinner rush. My family sat at table for 20 mins and saw no server even for water. Walked back to room tried to place Togo order, no one answering phone. Walked back over and gave my order to girl at front desk. A little after 8pm I call to check on my order and they had no record of it and told me kitchen was closed. I asked for manager and told her the whole story, she apologized and rounded up some bbq sandwiches and fries, finally got that a lil before 9pm. That scenario really tainted my stay but I do appreciate they still tried to make up for it. My suggestion is if that short staffed condense your menu or only seat so many at a time. Otherwise rustic lodge was nice and clean.
