Grounds were not kept. Not sure if it’s under new ownership because we went about 12 years ago and it was amazing. Shower is very very slippery and we were missing the shower curtain. Pool was empty and looked terrible! In order to use the bbq or fire pit you have to pay for it! Not worth the 249 a night that we paid.

Weekend Retreat in your own Back Yard

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!

Horrible experience

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

Excellent Weekend Stay!

The Lodge at Blue Lakes was an amazing stay. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. The Lodge is right off the road however, the lake was extremely clear, clean, peaceful, and calm. This was an excellent stay where you can stand up board, rent a boat, and play in the sand. We did it all! There was a point when an amenity went down, Charlie was more than happy to find a way to make it right without skipping a beat. Totally recommend this lodge especially, if you are looking for a weekend trip or to break up a long drive… and we will be coming back very soon!

A nice motel on the shores of the lake, with excellent staff. Our room was the executive suite, and it suited our needs perfectly. Dog friendly, lots of space, and Eric the manager was an excellent host. The room was warm and cozy when we arrived, and Eric was friendly, attentive and helpful. The location was great for our needs, and the price represented a real value. We were here in the off-season, so some of the small details may have to do with our timing. Our room was clean and comfortable, but a little dated. The Jacuzzi tub was not functional (not a problem for us) and some of the blinds weren’t working well. The coffee maker probably needs to be replaced. The grounds could benefit from a spruce-up, and some guests need to be better and picking up after their dogs. Overall, we were happy with our accommodations and appreciated Eric and his help.

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.

We had the most incredible time at The Lodge at Blue Lakes. From the moment we arrived, Charlie, the host, ensured our experience was nothing short of exceptional. His hospitality and conversations added an extra layer of warmth to our stay. We stayed two nights and both evenings, used the barbecue grills to cook delicious dinners. Our favorite part was dining in the gazebo next to the grill, overlooking the lake and taking in the scenery. Also, the lodge hired a DJ who mixed great music into the afternoon right on the patio! The rooms were clean and comfortable, and had back door access to the patio and lawn chairs. You are really lakefront - it was the perfect nature retreat to unwind and appreciate the tranquility of our surroundings. We will definitely 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!

Not for Me

I booked this from hotels.com using the reserved now pay later option. I reserved using my personal card but plan on using my business card when I checked in. When I checked in, I tried to put my business card down to pay and cover any incidentals but was told I couldn’t do that and they took payment from the card on file already. This is inconvenient because I have to wait days to get reimbursed. The room was clean but the mattress was hard as rock and whatever scent they use is over powering and made my eyes water the air conditioning unit was at bed level so it was blowing in my face or my back. My business meeting ended early I decided return home and asked if I could get refunded for the night I wasn’t going to stay but they said no which is fine just thought I’d ask. When I received my itemized receipt i noticed that room rate was different than the one I booked in Hotels.com. I asked the manager via phone since they were not on site why couldn’t changed the card on file when I checked in and she stated it was because they processed the payment 7 days in advance. I checked my bank statement and they did not charge me until I checked in on 7/27 and even my itemized receipt says charged on 7/27 so that reason was not true. I also inquired about the room rate difference and she told me I needed to take it up with hotels.com. This has been escalated with hotels.com but just a heads up if you book through a 3rd party you might be surprised at the end.

The first night the tv didn’t work because the service was cutting out. During the day there was vacuums, leaf blowers, and power tools right outside of my door. The 2nd night all water was cut off at midnight. The room had a strong odor of bleach/chlorine.

We've stayed at the property twice. After 1st stay, i noticed issues but decided to give another try. Have just completed our second stay over the Labor weekend, and left the property in disbelief. The room: the bedding sheets and blanket were yellow stained, which was disgusting. There were tons of uncleaned hair sitting in the tub drain. The bed was squeaking with every move I made. However, the major nuance was about property overselling on the day passes. Anyone (ridiculous amount of people) can get it for just $25 and spend the day. The outcome: all the lounge chairs sitting by the lake view rooms are quickly taken away, random people entering the property occupying every inch of the grass field along with the the tables, playing loud music as they wish. The little beach that the property has is overcrowded: people, inflatables, etc. Getting our kayak out from the water to the room was practically impossible as the walkway was also occupied. No one from the property management cares to check in on what's going on there day time on enforce any kinds of rules. Feels like it's a money making machine approach - making whatever amount $$$ they can. I booked an expensive room expecting peace and quiet (and that's what their pictures and advertisement make you believe you'll get there). Trash: was kept uncleaned with piles of garbage laying on the floor across the property. Unsanitary and unbelievable. You had crowds over the weekend, make an effort to clean right away!
