We really enjoyed our stay at Great Pines. Staff was super friendly and very accomodating. The room was nice and clean. Actually got a good night's sleep on their super comfy beds. Great Pines is very "dog friendly". There is a nice fenced area for furry friends and even a dog mat in the room for food and water dishes. We enjoyed relaxing at waters edge and are looking forward to another visit in the future..

Stay in main hotel was amazing. Only issue was no control over room temp. It was too hot to sleep and due to major black fly populations were unable to open window due to lack of screens. A fan and screens would cover that. Other than that, the location and amenities were perfect. But due to 2 nights of no sleep I would give it a 4 out of 5.

The lodge, located directly on Fourth Lake, was lovely. Unfortunately, we came a little early in the season, so the restaurant was closed. But, it was a very nice stay!

This was my honeymoon and there was no one at the front desk to check us in once we got into our room it was a total disaster, not clean very dirty. They did put us in another room for one night and then put us back in our other room, but not acceptable when it’s a honeymoon!!

The only thing missing from this place is food and a hot tub. But we went during winter and it’s the off season - but man did we enjoy our stay. Absolutely lovely.

The area was very nice. The rooms were small and quaint. Clean and well stocked. Visited off season so the main lodge didn’t have staff. The complementary breakfast was not impressive. Looks like a fun place to experience in season.
