We really liked the property and the atmosphere. The owners are/were renovating the property which meant the pool, hot tub, exercise room, etc were closed. The kids were disappointed but if you have a boat there are plenty of swimming opportunities! Would highly recommend especially once everything is completed!

No pool or hot tub, room stunk and the carpets felt damp and sticky, TV remote was not set up to control volume or power and nothing done about it except to hand me directions on how to program the remote (which did not work either), wi-fi was weak.

Depressing experience. -The staff were friendly however I don’t believe they knew how to do anything. -No hot water. -Pool and hot tub are permanently shut down which was a dissapointment. -The bar is shut down. -The restaurant is shut down. -outside of the building there is significant rot and degradation to the exterior of the building -we went to go for a swim but they are too lazy to even take the weeds from the dock so it all seaweed. If you plan to park your boat there maybe reconsider as you’ll probably get weeds in your prop. -they had tons of empty lake facing rooms and they didn’t upgrade us which is fine but unprofessional. We asked how much it would be to upgrade to a lake view and they didn’t know how to do that and told us we’d have to pay full price. So don’t expect to make any changes to your reservation. -the breakfast was labeled a “continental breakfast” it was milk cartons, eggo waffles, hard boiled eggs, and cinnamon rolls. Make sure to wake up early because they only make about 10 cinnamon rolls and so there is not enough. The coffee is good. -dock was also falling apart basic things like the bumper trim which would take all but 5 minutes for an employee to repair with a hammer and a handful of nails shows exactly how little they care about the place. -everything is very outdated and very odd and liminal feeling colors. -beds were fine but very very cheap and hard. -stains on walls and carpet in our room The good: Bed was clean Free WiFi

Unique Quirky Kind of Place, in a Good Way

This hotel is gorgeous, as are the grounds. It was oddly empty though, both guests and staff. It feels like we were there at the wrong time of year or the wrong era. A bit dated in some ways, but it also feels like it was a top of the line resort at some point. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. We very much enjoyed our stay.

Oveson’s is the best place to stay in Orr. The pool and hot tub are closed permanently. But I didn’t go to Orr for that, there’s Pelican lake! Continental breakfast is good..cereal, yogurt, juice, milk and baked cinnamon rolls. The lodge is decorated nicely and there’s a sitting area with a TV, also tables and chairs if you wanted to play a game with your family. The mattresses are so-so and the linen is dated but clean. The service was excellent and one older gentleman was always so helpful and polite!
