Guests say
Lake View Lodge is praised for its superb views, comfortable accommodation, and well-equipped kitchen. Guests have enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere, hot tub, and fishing opportunities. While some minor maintenance issues and a need for better navigation on-site are noted, the lodge's peaceful setting and amenities make it a place guests consider revisiting.
Most reviews do not raise concerns about cleanliness, suggesting a generally satisfactory level of hygiene. However, one review mentions a health issue related to the hot tub, and another notes soiled pillows, indicating room for improvement.
The location is frequently commended for its great views and secure area for dogs. The difficulty in navigating the site in the dark is a minor concern, but the overall impression of the location is very positive.
Guests find the lodge comfortable, with super comfortable beds and a relaxing hot tub. Some mention thin walls and a flashing light in a bedroom as minor discomforts, but these do not detract significantly from the overall comfort.
The lodge is well-equipped, with a particularly praised hot tub. However, there are several mentions of maintenance issues, such as the need for better hoovers, sharp knives, and attention to hot tub chemical management.
There are no specific mentions of gifts or extra thoughtful touches provided by the owner, so it is not possible to assess this category. Guests should note that while the owner is helpful, special gifts are not guaranteed.

A few specifics would benefit from some attention. We arrived in the dark. It was extremely difficult to navigate the site and it was easy to get lost. A site map would be useful. I spoke to reception and they weren't absolutely sure where it was. It was hard to read lodge numbers and walking there in the dark quite dangerous. It would benefit from a good exterior light. There were no instructions for using the heating, oven, washing machine, dishwasher, microwave. A neighbour spent an hour working on the heating (which we appreciated). Then it was very hot and came on erratically. We never got to work out the microwave but found a limited way to get by with the oven and washing machine. Not much that can be done about it but walls are thin and bedrooms and bathrooms adjoining. Might not be for light sleepers. There was a flashing light coming from a bedroom cupboard which was distracting overnight. We managed to hang a thick scarf over the gap to minimise the strobe effect. It might matter to sensitive people.

Cleaning and maintenance needs attention especially the hot tub which was a health hazard for us. Incorrect hot tub cleaning and chemical management led to severe hot tub rash and need for medical attention. Out door seating cushions left out and soaked so unable to use even though weather nice. Site restaurant/bar beer not tight problem with gas/pipe cleaning and food very basic. Unfortunately our whole week ruined by by hot tub rash.

Well equipped kitchen. Would like to mention though the lack of pillow protectors was a bit of an issue, as we were asked to strip the linen on leaving it became apparent. It's a minor thing but needs addressing as one pillow was badly soiled.
