Quiet and pretty resort
We stayed at the Ridges Resort for Christmas while visiting family. The Pros: The resort's main area had floor to ceiling windows, overlooking a beautiful lake, a lovely Christmas tree and a warm fireplace. Definitley felt warm and cozy for the holidays. The rooms were clean. The cons: The resort was a bit on the outdated side. it took 10-15 minutes for the hot water to kick-in once the shower or sink was turned on.
Overall a good stay. Very quiet without a lot of activity.

Awful
The property is beautiful but is falling apart and is not worth it the charge 25 resort fee but there are no amenities (news paper n coffee are not worth 25 dollar a day )
I had a 6 days stay no housekeeping I was told my room will be service on the 3rd day I never happen I clean the room myself got my own towel from the front seat etc .
On my 5th day the housekeeper walk in to my room without knocking or saying anything I was coming out of the shower
There construction material all over the property not safety secure which is a hazard n plain irresponsibility
The new removeted room are full of dirty dusk and is impossible to breath in there
All the lights in the outside area by the lake broken is completely dark out there safety hazard
To firewood going the wood
In general a mess not worth the money

4 day getaway
The resort is in a lovely location and we enjoyed the lake view and the breakfast was fantastic. We were somewhat concerned with the balcony railings. Very rotten wood and some banisters were falling out. The landscaping crew must be on vacation. So much work to be done.

Beautiful scenery
Had a very relaxing stay at the Ridges. Beautiful view of mountains and lake. Really enjoyed the fire and s’mores each night and meeting other guests there. We will return next year.
