Went here for a weekend getaway and loved the grounds! Food is definitely expensive on site but there are close by driving options. Staff was very friendly and having the shuttle for transportation on the grounds was great. Will be back!

Vey quiet and clean. Could use some updating on a few areas of the room. Over all very satisfied. One thing that bothered me was that the outside overhead lights were on 24/7, I am very sensitive to light and it made it hard for me to fall asleep and stay asleep. Some blackout curtains would have fixed this issue.

Cannot Wait to Visit Again!
We had the most amazing and relaxing experience at Grandview Lodge. We stayed in the Main Property, the bed was very comfy and the room had everything we needed. Their breakfast has so many gluten free options which was very important to me and so do all of their restaurants. Their spa was breathtaking and they were so accommodating with my pregnancy, they took such good care of us, we left so happy and relaxed. Their gym was perfect and had everything we needed. We couldn't be happier with our little getaway and already look forward to coming back in the future. I cannot say enough good things about Grandview Lodge!

Very quiet and calming. When we needed something, they were right there and provided it. Only things were the water wasn't filtered so if you are not used to well water, you'll need to bring water. Also, or cabin was supposed to have a pull out in the living room, but it didn't.

Beautiful location & buildings. We were there Sunday-Tuesday in October, so quite a few amenities were closed. The staff had the flower beds covered for frost, but uncovered after our request which was so appreciated so we could snap our Christmas photo. The pool deck could use a bit of a mop/sweep later in the evening.

This was a amazing little resort, I’ve been coming up to this area my whole life and ended up needing a place to stay for one night up here cause plans fell through, we stumbled upon the lodge and it was amazing! We already have a trip to come back in the winter for a whole week because one night was not enough! The staff also were a huge help and soooooo nice! Definitely would recommend to anyone, couples or family or a quick get away!
