Go somewhere else !!
This is a very sad, dated place, worn carpets and furnishings. No utensils provided apart from a couple of cups. They had a fridges and microwave but no knives forks or spoons. Check in was not very friendly, given the place was virtually empty.

The property nestled in the picturesque Cyprus Hills park close to the lake has very much a lodge feeling. The accomodating staff make every effort to make the stay an enjoyable one. A great place to meet up with friends or share time with family.

8/10 Very good

Close to restaurants and the beach. Dog friendly room was right next to the elevator so with the increased traffic/noise caused increased barking. Probably should have those rooms down at the end of the hallway on both floors.
Todd, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The stay was amazing, the lodge is just really old but that’s to be expected at these locations and the lodge has a lot of unique characteristics and the kids has a great time!! Family friendly!! The on-site restaurant is more of a pub, sticky floors and over priced, was not clean and dark and dingy. The rooms have full kitchens so better to cook your own food.
Aaron, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Located well to walk anywhere in town/lake. The room was not ready at check in time. Bring your own food as there was only 1 place to eat and the hours of operation were limited. Thank you.
Linda, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Poorly managed
In the room we booked, the toilet stopped flushing. It was not clogged, and the staff suggested taking the toilet paper out. They then moved us to the room next to it, which was filthy, as if they were doing renovations and did not clean it.
Kenton, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Horrible restaurant in the hotel. Dirty, bad service, bad food. Bring food or plan to buy overpriced food at the local gas station instead.
Mike, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

An upper floor room would’ve been excellent had balcony and quieter no one above but felt as paid through Expedia automatically got a room on main floor versus top (2nd) floor.
Michele, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Yearly Vacation
We stay here every year to take in Elkwater parks’ many winter amenities. Our rating dropped a notch this year as the pool is in need of some TLC. Filters are ransacked with hair, hot tub is at room temperature, tile floors are grimy, and the liner in the bottom of the pool is lifting in all areas. Overall, still one of our favourite vacations of the year and already booked again for Christmas 2023.
Jason, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

The room was not clean , the sheet had a spot . The hotel main area was not clean .
Irene, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

We stayed Friday & Saturday in a fireplace room getting away after a lose of a Parent. The room set up is a bit different but works actually really well. We didn't swim or eat in the restraunt as we were looking for more of a secluded weekend. Our room was tidy but the tub wasn't very clean because the doesn't drain so there was a lot of hair and things in the bottom, which we know was due to the lack of drainage & drying after cleaning. Sunday morning before check out time, they were knocking on doors which I found of & have never had happen before. We don't live that far and though we thought the weekend was okay, we'd likely opt to not stay a full weekend again, maybe just a night before/after skiing if the weather's bad.
Karen, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Outdoor deck not cleaned and needed repair.Guests expected to wash any dishes used.No control for hygiene especially following pandemic!
Sharon, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Would have rated the property/room excellent except the shower curtain rod kept falling down once the curtain got heavy with water. Also the toilet did not flush well and had to unplug it once and then be very careful and flush often . Overall would have rated the property and stay excellent.
Dawn, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

Not happy
The wifi wasn’t working, the hot tub is out of commission-which was not disclosed prior to me going down to use it and found it taped off, there was no gluten free options, even though it said on the menu there would be…it was just awful that I ended up checking out four hrs later & driving three hours home. This has not been my experience previously. They are usually a lovely place to stay-not sure what was going on this time that all the places stopped carrying GF options-other than a salad & not letting you know about the hot tub
