Walk out patio was very nice. Air conditioner was noisy, not a consistent sound like good white noise can be. Things felt a little clammy or damp to me. Could do with better climate control. Overall it was a nice enough room, we had a comfortable stay. Could've done with a little upkeep. The amenities looked nice, but we didn't have time to partake. Employees were helpful.

Good Morning Robin, Thank you for taking the time to rate and review your recent experience at Salt Fork. We were happy to have earned a 4/5 rating, but we won't be content until we earn 5/5. Each one of our 148 guest rooms received state-of-the-art PTACs (packaged terminal air conditioners) this spring. Please know that if you ever have any issues, we have team members on site 24/7 who are ready and willing to help. We're glad to hear you had a comfortable stay and hope we can welcome you back when you are able to enjoy all that we have to offer. Have a wonderful day!

Good Morning Jim, Thank you for joining us to relax by the pool! I must apologize for the condition of your balcony. As you could probably tell, we are getting a new roof placed on the lodge and the construction debris abounds. Porches and balconies are thoroughly cleaned between occupancies, but over the course of the day this debris can quickly accumulate. We are looking forward to completion of the project in the near future and should be back to business as normal in no time. We appreciate your feedback and hope we have the opportunity to welcome you back again! Have a great day!

There isn't more beautiful scenery to be had in the state of Ohio than right here at Salt Fork Lodge and Conference Center - especially this time of year! We were glad to have you as a return guest and hope to welcome you back again. Next time we will shoot for a five star rating!

Thank you for the awesome rating and positive review! The indoor pool, which is open and heated year-round, is a big draw to the lodge. I hope you were able to meet Big Foot, who inhabits the lounge (via a life-size chainsaw carving).The area surrounding the lodge is teeming with wildlife! I can't recall a day I've spent here where I haven't encountered multiple animals. We hope to welcome you back soon!

Salt Fork Lodge would not allow a refund when I canceled my stay even with travelocity trip protection.

I'm sorry to read that your visit had to be cancelled. We do have a 72 hour cancellation policy and are not in control of the Travelocity Trip Protection that you mention. It would be best to contact them directly concerning that policy. If we can be of any assistance with that, please let us know!

Family Togetherness

Pros: All the activities and good food.
Cons: Due to the winter weather, the road to the lodge had some potholes, but this is to be expected in Ohio.
Location: This a park that has many activities and another park that has educational activities involving a deer herd is located 20 minutes away.
We met our son and daughter-in-law and grandchildren for a 2 day stay. There was swimming and a game room and children's activities to occupy us on this winter-time stay. Everything was comfortable. The dining room had meals for the children and adults. The pub-fish sandwich was excellent. The staff was friendly and helpful. There were other families staying over, which made the whole experience more fun. We recommend this facility for all seasons as they have outdoor activities in the spring, summer and fall.

Comfort of home in the midst of the woods

Pros: Good value for the price. The wildlife is up-close with white-tail deer grazing below our balcony. Plenty of room for peace and quiet.
Cons: The Lodge needs updating and repairs. There was a leak above the pool area the first night dripping lots of (rain?) water into the hot tub.
Location: There's plenty of water activites in the summer at the Park. Cambridge, about 30 min. drive, has the Passion-Play plus local theater productions.
Check-in was fast and easy, the staff very friendly, the bed oh so comfortable, and the food quite appetizing. The facilities are clean but aging. The building is attractive but needs repairs. Plenty of room for relaxing by the fireplace, plus solitude for work if you choose. The pool and hot tub are a definate plus. Built around 1970, the Lodge was not built with energy conservation or handicap accessiblity in mind, but adaptations have been made, and I like the provisions for recycling and ecology.
