It was good, but comfort would have improved with rescreening the door to the balcony, and having a chair by the desk. The insects made the balcony impossible to access or even to allow outside air inside. I didn’t use any of the many amenities other than doing some walking around the complex.

Loved the beautiful surroundings, view of lake, staff helpfulness, linens/amenity services of the room, however there was an unpleasant sewer odor in our room.
Resort is very dog friendly.
Family reunion serviceable.

Great peaceful place. Great food at decent price. The place is undergoing renovations which will make it even better. However, it does pose a few inconveniences.

Everyone was so helpful and welcoming. Zybi and the restaurant cook even stayed after to cook my late meal. I greatly appreciate all of your help and we’ll be back.

The room was nice but the lodge itself is old and outdated. No housekeeping, I’m glad we only stayed for 2 nights. There are so many stairs, to get into the lodge, dinning room area, everywhere you go you will be taking stairs. Oh, and cobwebs and spiders on the balcony, overall maintenance is needed, dirty and rundown. On the up side, dining room food was good. Staff is great, very friendly. The view is beautiful from the balcony.

Overall, we enjoyed our stay. Would have been better if restaurant was open while we were there.

I really loved the serenity of the area. They are working to bring the place back to life.

We loved the spacious cottages and front and back porch!
The only drawback for us was picnic table and grills are too far from the cottage, we like to grill and eat outside, so it was a little inconvenient.
Would like to be able to see more of the lake from the cottages.
However we enjoyed staying there and will do so again. The employees of the park were super nice and helpful!

Many maintenance issues are being ignored. Entire property is very dated and needing repairs.

The place is in a gorgeous setting the view from the window was beautiful!! The room was large but the phone was broken. The floor was dirt and the buildings are old in need of repair and TLC. The price was very good!

Resort is Rustic, but also dated. Needs an update in rooms. Walls are thin. Balcony view of the lake would be incredible if trees were trimmed of low branches. I could tell that they were trimmed back in the last year or two.

They need to tell you that half of the rooms require going up and down stairs with your luggage. I am almost handicapped, but not quite, just a severe illness, and never expected something like this.

Bugs everywhere in room. Unkept. No services at all

The property is old and in disrepair. Our room smelled funky, had bugs and the floors were filthy. The pool area was overflowing with garbage and no one was in any hurry to clean it up. The dining room is only open 4 1/2 days a week and there are no refrigerators or microwaves in the room so if you are there on the days when the dining room is closed, too bad.
5.0
This is a very beautiful park and lodge. The staff was super friendly and helpful. The lodge needs a little work which I am sure they are aware of and planning to attend to. Nothing to hinder your stay but to maintain its functionality and beauty it needs attention. We had a great time and will surely return.

The cabin is very dated. I was disappointed that we had no view of the lake. The outside was not in a manner that I felt like ok to use. Chairs rusty and dirty. All kinds of sticks and brush in side yard near picnic tables.

My husband had fallen the night before our registered stay. He is under a doctors care and has stability issues. His injuries prohibited us from making the trip. We were so looking forward to this trip giving us a chance to have an outing. The stay would offer a balcony sitting to have our morning coffee over looking a lake and watching and listening to wild life. The peaceful getaway would have been soul healing. The facility offered a swimming pool that would allow therapeutic exercise for him. We were so disappointed that we could not make the trip. Hopefully we may try again in the future.

The location is great but the property lets itself down. Dinner was low quality no better than a fast food chain. Smokers in nearby rooms spoiled our time even though the hotel is supposed to be smoke free. Water pressure was very low.
4.0
It was soooo quiet here! At first, I was surprised at how it felt like we were camping even though we were in a lodge. The room seemed a little outdated but I think it was more perfect for the setting. If you like being in the woods, in a very quiet place this is for you! I was pleasantly surprised at how updated the fitness building was. The pool was excellent there! Again, there seemed to be very few others here, even though it's spring break. Makes me wonder if it ever is busy.

Very pleasant quiet stay. Wish it wouldn't have rained and I had more time to explore. Very beautiful view from room of lake.

The site was lovely and had many walking paths. We did have dinner on Friday night and it was good, hot, and pleasing after a long day of travel.
The room smelled musty yet the bathroom looked to be updated recently and was very nice. Wood paneling needs to be cleaned at least once a year to eliminate the musty smell. We have a cottage in WI and I have the walls washed every spring which prevents the smell. An organic cleaner with essential oils in it will do the trick.
5.0
We were upgraded to a cabin and it was awesome. We had a small issue with fireplace and they fixed it immediately. It was quiet and so relaxing as it was a slow time at the resort. Will come back again in high season so we can do the beach, etc.

The resort is gorgeous, but we were there during an ice storm and getting back to the highway was difficult and dangerous. The room was beautiful, but even with the heat cranked way up, we were cold and there weren't any extra blankets. And, because it was winter the hotel restaurant was closed except for weekends so that part was no fun.
5.0
Not the most updated property, but was extremely clean and is what you would expect for any stay away from home. Right on the water with excellent views of mother nature and all of her landscape. LOTS of wildlife around including many deer.
3.0
Very clean even though they are working there way through updating. However, Hotels.com indicates property had an indoor pool which is one of the reasons we picked resort but it only had outdoor pools which where closed because it was winter.

Facility needs updated and painted! Mold around bathtub! Dark and cold! Could not get heat to come on! Very musty!

The lake view is beautiful. The resort is older so you expect it to be a bit dated. But our room was musty smelling, had no heat and needed a complete deep cleaning. The bathroom had broken floorboard and extremely low ceilings. Which meant the shower head was very low. We asked for an upper level room to get away from the musty smell. But they tried telling us they were full. Interesting since there were only about 20 cars in the lot.

Everything was just run down and worn out. The room was dark and dingy, the carpet was old and had seen better days. The grounds were not kept up and everything was covered in dust. The path by the lake in front of the lodge was in serious disrepair, concrete was brokeen and heaved up, benches were knocked over and in the water. I expected more from a state park.
