First of all, we did not stay at this property because the room had issues. There was water on the floor from a leaky refrigerator, when the desk manager was informed and he gave us towels to clean up the water. We have been trying to recoup our monies from expedia and have been given the run around. The place is a dump and I wouldn't advise anyone to stay there for any reason. I WANT A REFUND!!!

Beautiful view of tranquil lake but noisy highway

The lakeside rooms have a beautiful view of Upper Blue Lakes. There are porches with wooden chairs and a few tables to sit outside. It would have been perfect if not for the highway noise from Ca 20. No food is provided, but there are microwave, coffeemaker and coffee, Fridge. Its 6 miles to the nearest restaurant.

Water line left broken from precious tennant on tub causing nonstop flooding in tub, water pouring noise 24/7 for 3 days making it hard to sleep, and room becoming too humid and smelling badly as a result. Staff lacked basic customer service skills but was direct and cooperative in most interactions.

This place was recommended for so long by a friend , and finally we made it , we had a high expectation about it because the place looked so good , it all started with a phone call 3 days earlier before check in requested an early check in , it took a while for tue rude guy to pick up , and surprisingly he’s the only guy running the whole hotel , I mean it , check in , boat rental , janitor , valley , butler , bbq guy , …… wth , name it , so rude and note flexible , made a booking through Expedia they made a mistake and gave us wrong room , no help , no upgrade options , we come with family and kids and they actually he didn’t seems to care about my crying baby or my 8 months pregnant wife , zero zero hospitality, anyways we used Expedia for our booking and never again , already deleted Expedia. App never ,this place has potential but no TLC at all , what a waste

Images on website do not reflect reality. They have day use available and our room was next to the “port a potty”. The property is a bit worn down, the access to the lake is over grown and the beach area is small. The property has seen better days

False advertising. I paid $168/night and there was no pool and no beach. I was willing to pay the price because the photos and description called it a “Lodge”. This place was a roadside motel. We were next to the road so loud we couldn’t sleep. Although we paid for 2 nights we left in 18 hours. It showed a dining room that was not there. The beach access was sand about 3ft wide in the middle of reeds. Couldn’t even swim. I want a refund or at least a credit from expedia

Although the hotel is not fancy, the rooms are prepared nicely with coffee pots, microwaves, and refrigerators. They have AC. The beach area is rather disappointing; it's very minimal and can quickly be overcrowded. I wonder if some landscaping might provide more access to the lake.
