The beds were extremely comfortable, however I thinkprice of the room being extremely high for what we got, it was a little disappointing and the bathroom and carpeting are very outdated and old.

Lovely stay!
BEAUTIFUL setting and lovely room. I only have 2 complaints: (1) the carpet was stained and (2) we could not control the AC in the room. Food was excellent and the server was delightful. I will definitely stay again.

The view, the hospitality, the room, and the check in process all contribute to why this place is so amazing. My family and I did not know it existed but now can pretty much guarantee we will be back in the future. It is simply stunning

The lodge, located directly on Fourth Lake, was lovely. Unfortunately, we came a little early in the season, so the restaurant was closed. But, it was a very nice stay!

The only thing missing from this place is food and a hot tub. But we went during winter and it’s the off season - but man did we enjoy our stay. Absolutely lovely.

Loved our stay at Great Pines. We loved sitting relaxing by the fire. Only wish bar and restaurant was open during our stay however we will be back this summer. Beds were super comfortable and loved the views from our room as well.

Off season weekend getaway was peaceful and relaxing. Feeling of having the whole place to ourselves even though there were other guests. It was just the two of us on our walk on the lake. We can't wait to return.

The area was very nice. The rooms were small and quaint. Clean and well stocked.
Visited off season so the main lodge didn’t have staff. The complementary breakfast was not impressive.
Looks like a fun place to experience in season.
