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

Beautiful views of the lake from some rooms. Nice porch to enjoy the view. No staff at desk.
My husband and I had a wonderful stay at Great Pines. It was beautiful inside the rooms and all around the property. we would love to stay there again!
We are anxiuos to go back! The place is beautiful, refreshing, the room was cozy, very comfortable bed, very clean! Check in was very easy and the staff is amazing!
We really enjoyed our stay at Great Pines. Staff was super friendly and very accomodating. The room was nice and clean. Actually got a good night's sleep on their super comfy beds. Great Pines is very "dog friendly". There is a nice fenced area for furry friends and even a dog mat in the room for food and water dishes. We enjoyed relaxing at waters edge and are looking forward to another visit in the future..
Stay in main hotel was amazing. Only issue was no control over room temp. It was too hot to sleep and due to major black fly populations were unable to open window due to lack of screens. A fan and screens would cover that.
Other than that, the location and amenities were perfect. But due to 2 nights of no sleep I would give it a 4 out of 5.
The jacuzzi had black stuff coming out of it and it got all over us. Even on the towels when drying off..Bed is way to soft... Definitely an issue with jacuzzi..

Great place to stay. Quiet and relaxing service and views were excellent
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!
