The fire place in our room did not work. It was freezing. Like my face was cold to the touch while sleeping. The heat kept turning on and off on the heater/AC unit. It would blow consistently but sometimes cold air. If you turned it above 7 it went cold. Our toilet would not flush you had to remove the back of it. The bed was nothing but springs. I called the desk and they said they knew the fire place in my room was complaint worthy and I could move rooms....I was confused then why I was put in that one in the first place. We had our dog and a portable kennel so we did not want to move and risk something else being broken (that's the vibe of the place) great views but I'd recommend a hotel for these prices and then go to the state park vs this lodge.

Disliked: Amenities

Every floor board squeaked when you walked on it. Lots of things did not work in the cabin. No outside lights on the deck, toilets were marginal. We were never told what was included in the stay. Like bring your own dish soap, towels, paper towel etc. The free breakfast was nothing. Make your own waffles, hard to peel hard boiled eggs. We had to ask for butter and syrup.

We don’t mind an “old lodge” fell, but the room was quite outdated, shower was rusty and carpet was stained. Balcony wood was in poor shape, didn’t go out there. Breakfast was minimal, hard boiled eggs were old and yolks turning blackish green. Lobby was great, bar was good. Views were beautiful. Lodge dog was a bonus for the kids.

We ended up in a cabin, possibly by mistake that was really not up to par. When we went to the front desk they were very helpful and put us in a room that was very nice and comfortable. We would be happy to come back sometime!

We rented a cabin for the weekend, and it wasn’t very clean, and could use some updating. Location right on the lake was nice, delivery of firewood and linens was great.
