Such a great place to stay. Staff is welcoming, rooms are clean, and excellent for a relaxing get away.
We stayed 2 nights in a jacuzzi king room. Room was super nice! There was also a really good variety of food and drink choices for breakfast. It was a very great experience! Would definitely recommend!
Room was great as well as the food and drinks
Staff was very helpful and friendly
Would stay again and recommend
The view from our room of the lake was awesome
The room was beautiful, clean and had such nice decor and the views from our balcony were stunning especially the beautiful sunset and view of the beach. Will definitely come back here again when in Detroit Lakes.
This was such a nice, relaxing, clean, and friendly hotel. An absolutely enjoyable experience

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The hotel was beautiful, our room was clean, quiet and comfortable. We did find some ants on the nightstand which was the only complaint we had. The staff were very attentive and accommodating. I would suggest extending breakfast until 10:00 am. I would recommend staying at the Lodge to all of my family and friends.
Great location. So many things to do in Detroit Lakes. Best part is the art. Good breakfast and amenities at the hotel. Amazing views and we enjoyed the walkout room.
This property was cozy, comfortable and just a lovely place.

We had a great experience at the Lodge. The staff is super friendly and helpful. The amenities were great. Rooms were super comfortable and clean. Wonderful experience. Breakfast was amazing.
This is my second stay at the Lodge, and I really enjoyed time I spent here. Spacious, clean rooms. If you have not been here before, ALL rooms have a lake view. Bed was comfortable. Hot breakfast in the morning.
I like that they got private beach. You can seat in the lounge chair, watch the lake, soak up the sun.
Swimming pool is on a smaller side.
GREAT staff, very friendly and helpful.
I am looking forward to staying at the Lodge again.
This was a really nice place to stay. The beds were super comfortable and we could walk right out of our room to the beach and dock area. The grounds were well maintained and the sunset was fantastic!
The beds were very comfortable, 2nd floor rooms were quiet, check in was easy, cozy areas to sit and visit and a decent hot breakfast buffet.
We'd definitely stay here again.
