Pleasant stay

We visited frim out of state for the first time. We stayed in the lodge. You can tell they are older buildings but kept very clean. Our room was very roomy and comfortable. It would be nice to have a little mini fridge to keep cold drinks or left overs from the restaurant but otherwise it was a good stay.

Booked a 2 night stay/fishing adventure. Had drinks at the lounge the first night and our bartender was top notch. He kept an eye out and was right there ready to refill as needed. Had the breakfast buffet before leaving the next morning and it was good.

At first glance, this park is outstanding, but first impressions are deceiving. Staff was very friendly and helpful, room was clean except for the balcony. The view of the lake is excellent, but.......we encountered loud people outside our door until way past 11pm, the motion sensor light in the bath turned itself off when my wife was taking a shower, the cook for the dinner meal quit before the meal, shutting down the meal and restaurant,..but maybe you will get lucky if you stay .

Stayed 1 night. Staff at check in was super friendly and even let us switch our room when we discovered ours involved stairs. Staff at check out was equally nice, although we did have to wait a bit as they were very busy. We ate dinner at the restaurant and although the menu was small the food was great. Service was good there as well, they let us move to a table by the window. Free breakfast had plenty to choose from, and once again customer service went above and beyond because they made plain oatmeal and decaf coffee special for me due to my dietary restrictions. State Park had very nice beach and marina, would love to visit during the summer. Views from the restaurant and our hotel room were beautiful, loved the balcony. On the down side we were afraid to sit on the chairs because they were old, kind of rusty metal and we thought they may break with our weight. Bathroom ceiling was cracked/peeling. Lamps and walls could have used a cleaning. Air/Heat unit was noisy at times. No fridge/microwave. But overall it was a very nice experience and great value for the price. Highly recommend.

The park and lake are beautiful, but the rooms in the lodge are terrible. Lights didn't work, commode was loose, the carpet was a hundred years old, the back door to the patio had a hole in it. The TV tube was going out and it was unwatchable. It appeared that they were in the process of updating the lodge. All I can say is they had better. No one wants to spend the night under those conditions.

Lodge Rooms are outdated! Needs new furniture, paint, doors, curtains, and mini blinds! Refrigerators, Microwaves, and Big Screen Tv's on a wall mount need to be included in each lodge room because there are days the lodge restaurant is not open to serve food! The outside patio of my lodge room was dirty and entire place needs to be pressure washed! The outdoor pool is very nice, and the grounds was clean and mowed!! Customer Service is excellent and very accomodating at the front desk!
