I will never stay there again.
This place was horrible. Service was not good.

Out of all of my stays in Lake and Mendocino County, I will not be returning here or recommending it
I thought it would be nice to stay here. I’ve seen the location and thought I would try it regardless of the reviews..
I was charged $70 extra for two pets, pet friendly? After they had already scanned my card twice, they needed to run it again. I will be monitoring my bank statement. The staff was right by the main entrance smoking all evening, calling me by the wrong name, and the pathway was very uneven so the “luggage cart” tipped over. There is no pool or hot tub even though it is listed places. Even though I asked for an early check in and was told I could arrive after noon, my room wasn’t ready at 2:30, regular check is at 3pm. I was given the excuse about how busy they are. I came from out of town, and this location is quite rural. They could have contacted me and told me the room wasn’t ready, but instead I arrived and was told to go to town to grab a bite to eat, and my room would be ready when I return.
I had to deal with loud banging from other rooms after 10pm, which I guess isn’t the resort’s fault. I woke up early to get to an appointment, was greeted by the staff having a cigarette in front of the hotel with her dog. It was not a pretty sight. Upon returning to gather my things and check out, I was told my dogs pooped on the walkway. My dogs are new foster dogs and aren’t allowed to be off leash. It’s the last thing the staff had to say, as they made no effort to communicate with me after, even though they were around my room and the office.
If you’re going to charge a pet fee, fine. If you’re going to let you’re staff live on site, maybe ask them to smoke somewhere else besides the main entrance to your “lodges” and maybe sign them up for a customer service training. I spent almost $200 for a hard bed, a shack of a resort experience, and left with a negative attitude.
I took photos of my room before I left with some of my personal items in the photo, so they can’t try to charge me again for my room. This location has been on my bucket list, I was really excited to stay here.
This listing is not what it seems and I am very disappointed.

Great location, staff was nice, but knew they put me in a room with a broken tv box.

Tv didn’t work, ice machine door broken. Beds squeaked loudly. Head boards torn. Place was not kept up.
Close to highway and beautiful scenery.
Barbara at the front desk was very friendly and helpful. Saw her the next morning as I was leaving and she had to stop and ask if I needed anything. Nice to see staff that are friendly and caring the following days. Bed was comfortable and shower was terrific.
I had a hard time figuring out how to use the heater/fan. I got it going at the beginning and turned off as it was warm in room. Later, I couldn’t figure out how to get it back on. It was rather loud sound like a big truck was coming down the road, but in my room.

Great location with access the beautiful lake. Plenty of boat ,raft and equipment rentals to stay entertained all week. Great fishing right off the dock at the lodge. My family loved this place and we plan to be back soon
Cleaner used on the rooms was a tad too strong.

The location, Blue Lakes is beautiful.
Hotel needs major renovations. Pool was closed, beach was small. Rooms need major updates. Appliances loud and walls thin. Staff was ok but seemed shady overall. Not much hospitality.
