Loved the "Up North Lodge" ambiance. Breakfast was delicious and staff super friendly and helpful. I see why many Lodgers are "long timers"

An easy, quick getaway to see fall tree colors.

Our little 3 night get away to Manhattan Beach was just what we needed. The restaurant was open on Sunday, but was closed on Monday and Tuesday due to this being a slower time of year for them. We did have wonderful weather, the tree colors were just starting to turn which made a drive through Pillsbury State Park very enjoyable.

The room is freshly redone and nice. Nothing fancy but reflects the lake lifestyle. The grounds, bar, restaurant, beach and tiki bar were delightful! We’ll definitely return!

Loved the lodge, not the stairs

We loved the lodge and the employees. We did not eat at the restaurant because we were visiting fŕiends who invited us for dinner at their lake home. Our only complaint is the lack of an elevator. At 81 y/o, the steps to the 2nd floor with luggage is a killer. Probably will keep us from staying here again.
