  • My 2 daughters and I rented a cabin at the Lodge. We were there right before mother's day so not too crowded. The views of the lake were awesome! The cabins were really nice. The restaurant at the Lodge is very nice and the wait staff were so nice to us. Can't praise the location enough! We had the best vacation there and hope to come back again next year.

  • Beautiful views from our balcony. Loved the walking paths, pools, restaurants, and staff were very friendly. I would highly recommend the lodge to stay in.

  • Even more beautiful in person than in the photos. Very happy with our 3 night stay. The lodge is very clean and comfortable. All of the staff from the front desk, housekeeping, waitresses, and shuttle drivers were so personable, kind, and helpful. Loved having the restaurant on site, the food was very good and not too pricey. Also had a great time on the wine shuttle, such a neat experience that the lodge offers! Overall great trip and would love to go back.

  • Lovely, very well maintained facility & grounds. The room was spacious and very nicely equipped with ample seating other than on the beds, as well as a little bistro table and chairs!! Every staff member we met was warm, friendly & helpful. The view from the dining room overlooking Lake Erie was beautiful and mesmerizing. Was only here for 1 night but already starting to plan a longer return visit!!
