The lodge was very clean and nice. Great continental breakfast and tasty restaurant on the property. Also a cute little sauna we tried out. All in all a very nice place to stay.
Self check in very easy. Staff is available if needed. Property had wonderful views. Restaurant on the property was open very accommodating. Would stay again and use the out door hot sauna.
One night stay. The room was very clean and updated and my husband really liked the outlets next to the bed as well as the echo dot in the room. The self service option was easy to navigate and the bartender at the Lean Two was very fun and personable. I highly recommend his property !!

Great place to stay. Nice clean rooms, and cabins. Right on snowmobile trail 5. Lean-too is a nice restaurant and bar....Luis is a great bartender!
We really like staying here when we visit our family. The rooms are easily accessible, the views are amazing, and our dog loves that she can stay with us. We appreciate the grab-n-go options, and enjoyed our cup of tea each evening.
We had an excellent stay at Great Pines. Beautiful scenery right on Fourth Lake, and Snowmobile access.
The only negative of this property is the unreliability of the on site restaurant. It seems to be rarely open
