We had a 2nd floor room and there were people above us on the 3rd floor. Their floor was very creaky and they were up very late. It was hard to sleep. Next time i'll get a 3rd floor room. Breakfast was great and the staff was awesome. Very helpful.

i’ve never been here before, so I did not know what I was getting myself into. I was under the impression that it was more cabinet like and it wasn’t where we were placed was in a motel type of place. I was under the impression that there was a sliding door that went right out to the lake. Well there was but we’re on the second floor so you only had like a patio I guess so that was a little bit disappointing and then it snowed so we’re outside trying to haul all this luggage up to the second floor on the slippery ass steps and then I thought it would be more modern. I kind of felt like I was gonna get murdered, but I didn’t. It seemed very safe. It just looked really old. I guess, but it was clean and staff were super awesome. The continental breakfast was pretty nice. Actually we were the only ones in there so it was kinda nice just having that peacefulness there was waffles which were amazing and then eggs and muffins and juices and milk and coffee. It was really nice. Actually it all in all I would recommend this place to somebody if you’re looking just to get away nothing bougie just basic. It was nice.

The restaurant and staff are great! Food was amazing as usual. Main lodge is well maintained and beautiful. Cedar lodge is NOT!! We rented the lift kitchenette so our teen daughters could have own space. The room was outdated and in desperate need of TLC. All beds were broken. Recliner was broken. Fireplace did not work. Paint was falling from ceiling and walls. Half the lights did not work. Definitely mold in there somewhere as I had reactions to it.
