Basswood Resort

First time staying there. We wanted to get away for a night and this was perfect. The room was nice and cozy and very comfortable. We will bring the family next time in the spring hoping to do some fishing.

Overall pleasant experience. Staff was super friendly and accommodating and the property was quiet. The property was what you’d expect from a cabin on a lake, dated but cozy - no complaints as far as “updating amenities” like others have mentioned as I expected it to be rustic. The beds were more comfortable than expected so my only dig on comfort was the futon. We didn’t use it for sleeping but even for sitting, it was rough (lol) could definitely use a new futon mattress; I don’t know a human could sleep on it comfortably. My only genuine complaint was the cleanliness. It was very dirty on arrival and appeared as though the cleaning staff had only done a quick wipe down immediately before arrival like it was a hot swap of tenants but the tip envelope said they cleaned it several days prior to arrival. Not filthy enough to warrant a Karen complaint to management, but definitely not cleaned well. Showers were hot and the little store on site was nice with a friendly staff. Overall a pleasant experience, just needs a more attentive cleaning staff to get this a “5 Star” rating in my opinion. Would recommend for anyone coming through, at least for the experience.

I hesitate writing a review because I almost don't want people to find out about this hidden gem! Very affordable, fantastic staff, fun area. This is definitely where my family will be checking first when we are in the area.

My husband and son used this for a hunting weekend. They said that the cabin was out dated and unlevel. Linens and towels were not included but could be rented.

absolutely great place to stay. I will be using this place for family get together. so very much to do in nature's settings.

Not sure there was anything honestly

Inexpensive option for week long stay while working at Ft Leavenworth

Had never seen bed bugs until this stay in cabin with bunk bed and futon. Wife ended up sleeping on the futon and woke up to her hand and arm swollen and bit about 10-12 times. Found a reddish brown bug crawling in bedding. Google image says it’s a bed bug and it was very large. We had to spend a lot of time and money getting our belongings washed properly and threw away some blankets and pillows. The fireplaces are broken, the sink leaks, the shower had no hot water, the porch had no bulb and was not fixed. The doors and windows are broken or screwed shut with no screens. Mini fridge was very warm and threw out milk and some food. Dust, filth, vomit on door, heater stinks so bad we couldn’t run it, mice. Wife spent most of our stay cleaning and disinfecting. We stayed three days in a smaller cabin and upgraded to an 8 person cabin for a long term stay.

Great lil country spot! Lake views, swimming pool and hiking trails! Private gazebo with fire pits! Jacuzzi rooms! What more could you want?

I reserved the Truman suite. The house has been converted into multiple suites. And is on the hill over looking one of the lakes and campground. Giving a nice morning view of the surrounding area. There is a store on site that has pizza delivery! As well as provisions and basic repair items for campers and RVs. Area is secluded and nicely wooded. The AC and heat work wonderfully, the TV had all the apps to use, and had a good selection of channels. An actual useable kitchen was nice.The suite which was as large as advertised had more than enough room for everyone. The furniture was soft and comfy. My few complaints. The floors in the kitchen had spots that were sticky. and some of the walls had drip stains on them. Carpet in the bathrooms leading all the way up to the jacuzzis in both rooms. This has nothing to do with the resort itself, after the store closes there is no staff that I am aware of, the group staying in another suite in the house, had a loud party until about 2 in the morning. Their trucks running and music blaring. Motorcycles coming and going and just loud chatter, and even heard a couple children crying... At 2 am. I had to open a window in the bedroom and ask them to quiet down, or would have to call the cops. Some of them were not happy. But did oblige and a few of the extra cars left.
