Beautiful State Park. The accommodations and staff are fabulous. Wonderful clean rooms with a view of the lake. I absolutely love this State Resort. The food at the restaurant was not very good but besides that the staff and hotel were great and the park is amazingly beautiful.

Lovely state park but not winter friendly. I chose this lodge for the warmth of the lovely pics of lobby fireplace and lake view. I think there were only 3 other rooms rented on a Friday night. When I asked about fireplace not burning, employee at check in told me their wood was too wet. But the next morning a different employee had started a fire. The room was basic but very clean and had nice towels. There is a balcony looking over the lake. Rooms require outside walk to lodge. Many nice property amenities for warmer weather. Many things were “out of order.” No coffee out our whole stay. I understand there were few guests to serve but I still paid for my room with expectations. Very limited continental breakfast. We ate in dining room Friday evening and food was very tasty. Service was very friendly at dinner. Again very few guests. (6)

Peaceful area with great amenities when visiting with family. Did not realize lodge doesn't come with microwave or mini refrigerator definitely would look into cottage next time or bring cooler. The area doesn't have lots of food options so bring your own food is a must unless you're going to eat at lodge restaurant every day. Amazing trip with my sister will be back next year.

Wedding Anniversary Celebrating
The weekend was beautiful. Very relaxing. We enjoyed the view from the room and slept well. We were not happy with the food. All state park food has not been good since Covid. The buffet has always been a family favorite but not this time. Staff was pleasant and eager to make our stay pleasant.
