It was very good except the water pressure in our room in the main lodge would suddenly and there would be no water coming out of shower or sink. Happened a couple of times. Told management and they would have had us change rooms but we were leaving early the next day so declined.

This was an awesome property a long time ago, but now it’s worn out and rundown. We stayed in Cedar Lodge right after it rained. The place reeks of mold, the furnishings are ancient, the bathroom smells funky and is overall disgusting condition. The carpeting has an eclectic pattern of filth and stains. I woke up in the middle of the night with a horribly sore throat and congestion, which went away about 2 hours after I left the place. DO NOT STAY HERE.

This resort is incredibly out dated and dirty. We were in the cedar lodge and the furniture in the room was falling apart. The toilets weren't working well, it took like 4 flushes to have a few sheets of toilet paper get flushed. It had a musty smell, mis matched curtains, tape stuck to the walls, many stains in the bath, ceiling was cracked and looked to be caving in in some areas. For almost $1000 for 2 nights I expected higher quality, otherwise they need to adjust the prices to line up with what is being provided. I will say the air conditioning worked great in our room and it was cold in our room upon arrival so that was nice. Some of the wait staff were really great, the front desk people were quick to help us check in/out. The food at the restaurant was great. The "continental breakfast" was some yogurt, cereal, toast and muffin options-which was a bit disappointing and nowhere to actually purchase a hot breakfast onsite. The indoor pool was typically not busy at all, but the pool water was very cloudy and gross looking.

We stayed on a Friday and Saturday night as part of a mini-family reunion. We liked the waterfront location, outdoor dining, fishing /boat dock, and overall lodge-like atmosphere. The rooms had been updated in terms of flooring, paint, and walk-in showers. It was nice to have a mini-fridge in the room and a small deck. Views were superb. Decorating was haphazard and poor. Furniture was outdated Bathrooms were not equipped with towel bars. Only two towels were left and we had to request more. Soap was a mere sliver. Walls were thin, and rowdy guests at 1:30 am disturbed our sleep. Food quality was good—especially burgers and pizza! Rooftop bar was enjoyable. Continental breakfast was a line-up of carbs—no fruit or protein. For over $300 per night, I expected more. You pay for the lakefront location.
