Nice setting on small lake. The overpriced room was a painted over 1950 style. Good beds. Needs better furnishings. Mold in shower. Strong cleaning product smell was overpowering, No Food available near or far.

Property is nice, the rooms were not very clean but scott the host and the front desk gentleman fixed it for us. It’s new management so there were hiccups but Scott the host made sure we were taken care of. It is such a beautiful property and the lake is incredible. Would stay there 💯 again!!

When I checked in, it was just after the check in time and there were so many people there who had apparently bought day passes that there was nowhere for a paying guest to park. At all. It was over 100° and I had dogs in the car and I had to park out by the road. The person who checked me in was not very nice to me, although he was plenty nice to the woman that he checked on before me. The room was good as far as air conditioning and tile floors. The floors were wet and sticky feeling. The bathroom could have used a deep cleaning as well. a couple hours after I checked in there was a public safety power shut off and the staff did not offer any kind of assistance to anyone. Luckily, it came back on after an hour. And perhaps the most disappointing, there is a photo of a pool on the website. The poo looks like it has been out of commission for at least a year. It has been drained and has a couple of feet of disgusting nasty water in the bottom. The entire enclosure is rundown in a state of disrepair with multiple broken pieces of furniture. it looks awful

This property's website lists it as a lodge. The photos are real but well-edited to give an appearance that doesn't match expectations. We arrived to find a crowded property with extremely loud music playing. As we later learned, these people were just visiting for the day and paid to access the property. Once the day visitors left the crowd diminished and it felt more tranquil. The pool is closed and in disrepair. Our room was clean, but dated and dingy. The staff was very polite and helpful.

The staff here are very friendly, the lake is beautiful and the water feels cool and refreshing. We rented kayaks for a couple of hours in mid morning and enjoyed every bit of it. They have tubes to rent, a small beach area and plenty of deck space that overlooks the lake to sit and relax. The room was clean and cozy but our a/c unit was clearly on it's last leg. Upper Lake's conviences are only a 6min drive and Lakeport a little over 20min. There is a small store here next to the lodge. We didn't fish here but saw one jump completely out of the water to catch an insect while kayaking. We would definitely stay here again.

I traveled by the lodge several time a year on my way to my Soul Buddy's farm. Every time I pass it by I tell myself I want to stay there. I am so glad I had the opportunity to stay there with my Mom. Beautiful, and relaxing visit. The staff was over the top ~ I highly recommend you pay a visit and when you do - tell 'em Cookie sent you!

Sweet little older resort. Rooms have been updated and were clean. Our room overlooked the lake. Very beautiful. Management was great, friendly, professional and promptly answered pre check in emails. Do not come here expecting a five star hotel. It is a small country older lodge, with the charm and ambiance of such. A wonderful place to "chill". We will be back.

This property is situated at the beautiful upper lake. It has a small beach access to the lake and plenty of water ladders into the water. The freshest of the lake water is remarkable. I enjoy swimming in the lake a lot and we come every year for a short staycation. The facility is well kept, consider its age, and we notice that there are always some small improvements every year we come. The lawn and the flowers are well manicured. One can see how much care the operators are putting into making the environment pleasing and relaxing. A small convenient store right next to the property is reopened this year (it hadn't been opened during covid years), and this adds to the charm of the place!

It’s really nice to have a place like this available, to stay in Lake County! Unfortunately, for the insanely high price, I wouldn’t stay here again. Our room was tiny and it was missing things that we needed. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful and was the best part of our stay! I wouldn’t pay more than $200 for a room here, and the price to rent kayaks and boats is double what you would pay pretty much anywhere else. Overall, we enjoyed our stay but won’t return. If they’re going to charge this much, they should back it up with higher quality.
