The location is top notch. The rooms can use some updating. While the restaurant is convenient the menu could be expanded with more choices beyond pub grub. If you're looking for a place to kick back with spectacular views this is it.

Very beautiful property with 24/7 continental breakfast. Self serve canoe to use, fire pit and close to NYS walking trails. Our room overlooked the lake with Adirondack chairs outside the room. I wish we stayed another night so we could enjoy the restaurant.

Lovely stay!

BEAUTIFUL setting and lovely room. I only have 2 complaints: (1) the carpet was stained and (2) we could not control the AC in the room. Food was excellent and the server was delightful. I will definitely stay again.

bathroom shower was covered in mold, room wasnt very clean when we got in, walls super thin could hear people walking up and down stairs and people talking down in the office area, we had 3 kids with us and non of slept more then 3 hours, claimed to be an ac room and none of us could sleep or be comfortable because it was so hot in the hotel/room, also the staff seemed very inconvenienced any time we asked a question. family of 5 was only given 2 towels in the room. not what we expected for 450$ at all.. very dissapointed.

The view, the hospitality, the room, and the check in process all contribute to why this place is so amazing. My family and I did not know it existed but now can pretty much guarantee we will be back in the future. It is simply stunning

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.
