The Lodge at Blue Lakes

Friendly customer service, very clean rooms. Property was well kept up.

Great stay. Looking forward to return

There’s something “off” about this property & feels like there’s no real oversight or understanding of what hospitality means in this business. It’s billed as a lakefront resort- but there are extra charges to use the bbq grills that are on the property, use of floaties, etc. There’s no beach although the lawn is nice. Staffing seems to be another issue with various people traipsing back & forth, a leaf blower going for over 5 hours one day- we finally begged him to stop. Started again the next day at least for a shorter time. The manager is doing the best she can but this place needs dedicated full time hands on attention.

Rude Staff, and Run-Down Property We live 25 minutes away and stay on Blue Lakes every summer. Everything else was booked, so we gave this place a shot. Big mistake. We reserved two rooms, one for my husband, baby, and me, and one for my adult son and his girlfriend. We arrived at 1pm (check-in is 3). In the past, they let us use the lake early or charged a small fee. But the new owners were rude from the start. The office was locked, and once I found someone, she said it would be $30 per person or $50 per room just to sit by the lake until our room was done. I asked them to call when our room was ready and I'd pay for early check-in ($50). They never did. 2 hours with a baby... At 3pm, check-in was slow and chaotic. Other guests were upset too. We were finally given one room, but the second wasn’t ready for another hour. When I expressed how inconsiderate it was to leave us sitting in the heat with a baby, the woman got defensive and rude, then made a snide remark about “one-day stays.” as if we weren’t welcome. When the second room was finally ready, she told my husband, “This isn’t a 5-star hotel or a resort.” No kidding, but basic courtesy still matters. The rooms were outdated and poorly maintained. Soap dispensers were broken, no recycling, and everything felt cheap. We weren’t expecting luxury, just kindness and competence. Instead, we paid $579 for a truly unpleasant experience. I feel bad for anyone else who ends up here.

My service dog and I had an amazing time at the Lodge. The front desk staff was welcoming and kind. We'll come back again!

The on site manager was very rude and disrespectful. We were hoping to enjoy a family weekend including our daughter and grandchildren. The rooms in general were not clean and the furnishings were broken and dirty, as well. The swimming pool was empty and unusable. We reserved a boat for usage on the lake but due to the high winds the manager deemed it unsafe and refused to refund our $699.07 rental fee. She offered to allow us usage of a gazebo and gas bbq and a “gift certificate” instead. When we refused her offer she became enraged and began insulting us. Needless to say we will never return to or refer anyone to this property. Please beware!

Safety hazards ,horrible management and literally charge you extra for everything...wanna use 1 of the bbq grills? They charge you..wanna use the fire pit? Yup they charge you..eanna use tge pool? Closed and watch where you walk and dont expect a railing to hold you up lol i wont even get started on the management when they dont like you they charge your cc then tell you before you even get to your room that they can kick you out and keep your money!! Used to be a great place but since new owners,management 2 years ago i guess this is whats left of a great spot :( $430 for a room i so expected more...hopefully they get inspected soon so nobody gets hurr on that deck or electrocuted with exposed wires

This is a roadside motel that backs up against a small part of the lake. It could use a coat of paint. I got a lot of mosquito bites over night.

Awesome
