Beautiful setting.
Bathroom needs a good scrub/mold in the shower
Gardens need weeding and grounds a good tiding
In general the place needs some care-especially window cleaning.
Better coffee amenities needed in the room.
This is our second stay we love the beds/pillows and cafe service super
We will be back!
Hope this helps!

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..

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.

Loved our stay at Great Pines. We loved sitting relaxing by the fire. Only wish bar and restaurant was open during our stay however we will be back this summer. Beds were super comfortable and loved the views from our room as well.

Off season weekend getaway was peaceful and relaxing. Feeling of having the whole place to ourselves even though there were other guests. It was just the two of us on our walk on the lake. We can't wait to return.

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.
