"Blue Lakes Gem"

Reviewed April 23, 2025 NEW

Excellent location right on the lake, gas and charcoal BBQs for the guests to use, boats available for rent, fishing from the dock, clean and comfortable rooms, and Erick is as thorough and gracious an innkeeper as you will ever find. We will be back!

"Nice lakefront place, horrible beds"

Reviewed April 14, 2025 NEW

The beds were awful. Hard and if one moved on them it sounded as though they were sleeping on a plastic shower curtain. I’m sure our neighbors could hear us move! The walls are so thin. Our neighbor had a big Siberian husky and, although the dog was very well behaved, we could hear it walking, pacing , scuttling and moving furniture. The road side rooms are noisy from highway noise. The lake is pretty and the manager super friendly. The room was clean. Hot water. Been at the hotel several times in the past but with those beds this was our last visit.

"In the dead of winter is the time to go!"

Reviewed February 26, 2025

The Lodge at Blue Lakes exceeded my expectations, knowing the enormous crowds it endures during the summer months. During the month of February is THE time to go if you don't want a ton of people roaming around passing by your windows (for privacy). The Lodge is older and is in need of a facelift, but we thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience of fishing, vending machines, easy parking and ERIC! What a great host! He was a highlight and made some moments a little better!

"Peaceful Serenity"

Reviewed February 11, 2025

My late husband and i loved coming here at the Lodge of the Blue Lakes. He recently passed away, so I wanted to have time to myself amd grieve. I feel closer to him here. So peaceful here. I am never disappointed when we come to this place. We love the Jacuzzi room. Staff are very pleasant. I recommend this place, especially during the off season.

"Very Nice Stay"

Reviewed February 03, 2025

The room was clean, comfortable and well stocked with towels, soaps and coffee. I enjoyed the location on the lake with the comfortable patio area. On my subsequent visit, I plan to get in a little fishing! I am looking forward to my next visit.
