Hair on pillowcases. Two nights water not hot, luke warm at best. Debris on floor. No pool, hot tub or sauna...down due to maintenance issues. Parking lot dark, several overhead lights out. Breakfast, ran out of cinnamon rolls and it was before 8am!!! Weeds in rock beds. Staff smoking right outside main entry door. Thus lobby smelled of smoke. Disappointed and wished i had not stayed, but no other place was available. Horrible, terrible place. Oh, also, one side entry door is missing door handle.

Unique Quirky Kind of Place, in a Good Way

This hotel is gorgeous, as are the grounds. It was oddly empty though, both guests and staff. It feels like we were there at the wrong time of year or the wrong era. A bit dated in some ways, but it also feels like it was a top of the line resort at some point. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. We very much enjoyed our stay.

Oveson’s is the best place to stay in Orr. The pool and hot tub are closed permanently. But I didn’t go to Orr for that, there’s Pelican lake! Continental breakfast is good..cereal, yogurt, juice, milk and baked cinnamon rolls. The lodge is decorated nicely and there’s a sitting area with a TV, also tables and chairs if you wanted to play a game with your family. The mattresses are so-so and the linen is dated but clean. The service was excellent and one older gentleman was always so helpful and polite!

it was okay- felt safe. No pool. Pool closed for some reason - never explained. Cigarette burn on blanket... and on tub... seriously? why not get rid of blanket? Big hole in middle of blanket. The whole bedding situation- from the 60's? 70"s? a little updating is good. No daily maids... I had to ask for more toilet paper and towels... One guy at front desk was great... nice - attentive- but two women were the worst- barely even acknowledged your presence- lots of stains on carpet in room- come on! clean things up a bit- Pool was out service the whole time I was there- five days!! Boo!

The property itself is gorgeous. It’s right on the lake. However….. there is no bar/restaurant inside or connected to the hotel. The breakfast wasn’t a lot, just toast or muffins. Our first morning/full day there there was NO hot water and we couldn’t shower. Checked with front desk, they didn’t care or seemed concerned and said owner didn’t care. We were there 5 days and we finally received fresh towels our last night there. We still loved the place! The staff was very nice, lobby was nice and comfortable. It was perfect as it was close to the Vince Shute Wildlife Sanctuary which we were there for. There’s a family owned cafe right down the road that had great food, The Pattens. And a grocery store so you could grab snacks if needed.
