Great views.
Rooms are updated. Very clean and modern looking. Beds are comfy, balcony is great for the views. Casino buyins are getting pricey, making it hard to want to gamble.

Our go to for staying up north
We're repeat customers for a reason! The lodge is convenient, reasonably priced, and just what we need--especially after the renovations! Love the refrigerator and comfortable beds!

Great hotel. Cozy and tucked into the trees. Check in was fast and easy and the staff was polite and friendly. Our room was very clean and the bed was comfortable. The tv was bigger than in any hotel I’ve been in. Overall a great visit and I’m looking forward to booking again.

Unacceptable
The air conditioner was noisy, and they only provided 2 sets of towels for 3 people staying in room, when we asked for more they said they didn’t have any! View of lake was nice.

Very good value
We were very pleasantly surprised how nice our stay was. Just a quick overnight for me and my husband, booked on spur of the moment. Our king room was newly remodeled, very spacious and extremely clean. The bed was a bit too hard for our liking but we didn’t wake up feeling achy or stiff. Our only bit of disappointment came from the person who checked us in…she could’ve been a little friendlier. Would stay again and recommend to others.

Feeling misled and disappointed
Nice rooms. The casino is just that. Not truly a resort. Not pool or spa. No beach. No place to sit outside, comfortably, maybe to have a camp fire. The picture of the tables and chairs outside is false. There was none. The restaurant isn't. It is basically a cafeteria.
