"Great view of the lake. Getting the option of 2nd or 3rd floor was great. The gentleman working the overnight was great to deal with and gave me so good laughs. "

"Great place! "

"I had a good stay "

"A family wedding was planned at Grand View Lodge. Everything was perfect. Lovely room, good food and the chapel was beautiful. The Heritage Room for reception was light due to windows in the ceiling. All in all it was a wonderful experience. I would definitely recommend it."

"Staff were all friendly, the waterpark was awesome and clean, i love that they have an arcade and plenty of breakfast options. The room was clean and cozy and well stocked. The only complaint I have is the long lines for the 1 small elevator in the lobby. I had a stroller so i couldnt just squeeze in with other. All of the other guests i met were also very kind. "

"Me and a few friends stayed here and thought it was great! It did get a tad warm with the big windows and sun but worth it for the view and openness of the space. Great stay. Would book again."

"Clean room and friendly staff"

"Happily surprised how our cottage was so clean, spacious and comfortable. Beautiful view too. We loved it!!"

"This place was perfect for our Mother’s Day weekend. It is appealing from the moment you pull into the driveway. The cabin is nested in its natural surroundings as if it were always there. The large windows give spectacular views from all sides. The design and décor make you feel comfortable and relaxed. There is room to play games, ample supplies for preparing meals, and very comfortable beds. The screen porch was the place to watch and listen to the birds as the sun rose each morning. The dock and pontoon were the icing on the cake. We were able to catch fish from the dock and enjoyed exploring and fishing the lake on the pontoon. Lake O’Brien is spectacular! It has excellent water clarity with plenty of fish. We saw eagles, falcons, beavers, and an otter. This is certainly a must stay location. We hope to be back next year."
