Pros:

I loves the location. It was very laid back and inviting. The staff is wonderful and friendly. We didn't spend any money eating out because they provided us with a grill. We were able to fish right in the back of the hotel, off of their dock. There was a fire pit for us to use. The kids didn't have to be cooped up in the room when we were at the hotel. They have a neat game room in the basement.

Cons:

This place needs an update. The beds are old, and the carpet is also.

Pros:

I loved the lakeside room. I just wish there was wood for the fire pit. It would have been nice to make a fire. We really enjoyed the complimentary breakfast.

Pros:

The location and access to the lake were probably my favorite party of the lodge. The lodge is right off the freeway but far enough away it feels like you're in the country. The back area is near the lake and has a private sitting area so you can watch the sunset and enjoy the night sky from your own private patio.

Cons:

Staffing hours were slim during a very busy weekend for the city. Family Weekend visitors for a nearby camp brings many visitors the same time each summer. It's predictable. The lodge responded quickly to phone calls which I appreciated but I felt like I was at a self help hotel or hostel.
