Beautiful area. Wonderful staff. Room: area of carpeting worn and threadbare. Huge draft from patio door. Ceilings waterstained, stained. Beds and pillows very good and clean. Breakfast meal horrible. Sausage and egg sandwich with no sausage. Oatmeal like paste, brown sugar a hard rock.....stopped eating when hair was found. Apologized and took meal off bill. Lodge is a shadow of it's former self.

Walk out patio was very nice. Air conditioner was noisy, not a consistent sound like good white noise can be. Things felt a little clammy or damp to me. Could do with better climate control. Overall it was a nice enough room, we had a comfortable stay. Could've done with a little upkeep. The amenities looked nice, but we didn't have time to partake. Employees were helpful.

I have been going to the Salt Fork for many years and always had a wonderful experience. I was really disappointed that my room was not as clean as it usually was. I could not get ready in the bathroom due to poor lighting and the blow dryer did not work. The cooks quit in the middle of their shift and the Lodge did nothing to accommodate their guests. It was after 8pm and there was not anywhere to order from. Needless to say, guest went to bed hungry that night. Vending machines were empty and did not work. Tiki bar outside was shut down by the pool. I feel the staff are overworked and not enough of them. It seems to be the going trend now a days. I will return, but not this year.

Overall, this older property is well maintained. The pools are very inviting and well attended by real life guard. Did not make use of the bon fire pits, but they looked fun. Loved the paved trail to the lake. Tennis courts need updating.

We left my girlfriend's bathing suite and we called 5 times and was promised someone would call us back. That dis not happen and we had to leave a message with the hotel manager and still have not heard from them. The room was dirty and the bathroom is outdated for the price we paid for the room. I got stung by bees by the pool because the trash was not empty on a regular basis. The pool was dirty and the life guards spend more time talking with each other and on the cellphones then at the people in the pool. Waiting times in the restaurants were absolutely long. The bathrooms in the main room stunk. The coffee by the check in was not refilled on a regular basis and when we went to the restaurant to get a cup of coffee we waited 25 minutes before anybody came up to ask what we needed.

My family stayed at the lodge. (1 adult, 4 children). The beds were comfortable, the room/bathroom could have been a little cleaner. The balcony wood was splintering off in places, some in large pieces, which was a little dangerous when you’re out there in bare feet. The outdoor and indoor pools were both fantastic! I just wish the outdoor pool was open later than 8 for families. (It’s open until 9 for adult only swim). We also enjoyed the game room. The beach was hard to find, it’s not clearly marked, but the beach and water were both clean and we enjoyed the two trips we took there during our stay. My biggest complaint was the lack of dining choices. Everywhere states that there are two options, the restaurant and the lounge. However, once you are there you see the sign on the lounge door which states you must be 21 to enter. That should be mentioned in the website, in the brochure etc. The only on-site dining option is the Timber Restaurant. Which doesn’t have that big of a menu. And it is pricy! Plus there is a 3% beatification fee on every meal, which I never read about anywhere. The pizza was very good! And not that bad in price. The nearest restaurant not onsite that we found was in Cambridge about 1/2 an hour away. Overall though we enjoyed our stay and were happy at the lodge. I would go back and stay again. Also I’d like to note that everyone we dealt with was nice and helpful as well.

While we enjoyed our time at the lodge (Thursday- Saturday) it is not a place we will visit again. First, I have no problem with rooms/decor being outdated. We didn’t come for a fancy hotel experience. However, when we arrived our hotel room door was ajar and the cleaning lady said there was a flood/pipe/sewage back up the day before. While the room looked clean there was a smell in the air. It would have been nice of the front desk to give us a heads up. The bathroom was not clean (shower/toilet) and the peeling paint throughout the room was not appealing. We did like the patio (ground floor) and the beds were comfy. Second, we came for the pool and of no fault of the lodge the weather was a bit cooler then usual. We tried to swim each day but the water was freezing. In talking with a lifeguard the pool is heated so I cannot for the life of me figure out why they would not have it heated over 4th of July with the forecast in the low 70s. My kids were chattering and we just couldn’t spend the amount of time we intended in the pool. For someone just wanting to lay out it was he great - but with kids not reasonable. We did swim in the indoor pool two days and it’s very nice, but one doesn’t hang around an indoor pool all day the same way. I didn’t understand why there were no towels at the indoor pool and it made it super inconvenient (I think you had to go to the front desk - no clue why). We spent more time then we had planned in the game room because of the weather and l
