Top Forest Lakes Hotel Reviews

Grand Beach Resort Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great Lakefront property views. Pool was well maintained and larger than most hotel pools. Breakfast delivered to your door with several options was a plus. Nice arcade room and onsite laundry was great. Room was spacious, but the mattresses need to be replaced. Sagged in the middle. Fitness room lacking. Very small, one treadmill, which was out of service, a few hand weights. Overall, comfortable room, location close to shopping and restaurants. Plenty of parking and felt safe there."

10/10 Excellent

"Relaxing retreat"

Newly Built Luxury Lakefront Cottage with Fire Pit, Dock, Game Room

10/10 Excellent

"What a wonderful stay! The house was spotless upon arrival and check-in was seamless. We had plenty of space for eight adults. We were able to enjoy the outdoor space by using the fire pit and SUPs. The team was attentive via text. Would highly recommend this for a large group…would be great for families with young kids as the upstairs loft area (and game room) would def be kid faves. Would love to come here again in the summer to enjoy the lake."
