Disappointing stay.

Booked what was called a corner suite. The room is actually on the side of the hotel. I was also placed on the ground floor which I was looking at a construction site out the side window. I went back to the front desk and asked for a different room but was told nothing available. Also asked to be moved for the second night but was never given a response by front desk. This was our third stay and will be back. Just won’t book the “corner suite” again.

We loved our stay here. The room was huge. The view was amazing. Everything was clean. The hotel was quiet and the bed was comfortable. It was a bit chilly when we were there so we didn’t get to enjoy the outdoors too much but this hotel would be perfect for the summer. I look forward to coming here again.

Beautiful Property on the Bay

The staff was very friendly during check-in and the entire stay. The property is well maintained and clean. The detail of the wood work and trim is top quality. The doors and cabinets are custom made with solid wood and panels. The common areas are also clean and well appointed. Plenty of space to hang out and relax. The grounds around the property are the same. Clean and well maintained. Very nice beach with a gazebo and bar-b-q grills. Our suite was roomy and very comfortable. There was a nice kitchenette, sitting area, balcony overlooking the bay. The bathroom was clean and spacious. The suite included a washer & dryer, full size fridge, dishwasher, microwave, and cook top. The bedroom was small but contained a king size bed. Even the fire exit stairways were clean and nice with wall sconce lighting and tile floors and steps. Super nice property. I would recommend it to anyone. I plan to stay there again.

The parking is extremely limited here. You're only allowed 1 parking spot per party. Additional parking is across the street behind a gas station. Very strange. Other than that is was great.

We had an absolutely amazing stay at the Tamarack Lodge. We are a family of four with two young kids and the room set up was so perfect for us. The room was huge, and I mean HUGE. The separate bedrooms and main living area gave us freedom as parents after the kids went to bed to relax and the balcony was perfect for watching the sunsets. Everything was impeccably clean every single day and the staff were so helpful and friendly. The lounge chairs and beach area were so convenient and our kids loved playing in the sand and looking for treasures along the beach. We highly recommend staying here for any family but it would also be such a great stay for a couple.
