"This is a unique self serve hotel. I was not aware of that at first but honestly staff was great. For the price can't beat it. Oh and the most comfortable bed in a hotel ever."
"I really have no complaints. Your lodge is amazing. Not like regular hotels. It is unique, beautiful inside and out. I love all the wood, it gives a warm feel to the place. Makes you WANT to come back. Cozy feel to the place.
Staff was great, first person I saw, was Sarah. Very up beat, friendly and takes great care of your needs.
Breakfast food pretty much of a wide selection for whatever you may want. Neat, clean and orderly. They come often to check that they don't run out. Delicious!!
Our room was beautiful, clean. Nice view of the area outside. Well taken care of. Clean bathroom, spotless!
Dont have to go far to park your car and go into the building. Grounds pretty. I would so love to go to Whitefish Lodge in Crosslake again!!
Stayed here in May of 2026 Deb M."
"I try to stay at different places when I travel home to visit family. The room was amazing. Clean, comfortable, and quiet. I had a great view of the lake and you could walk down to the beach from your balcony. Staff was so very helpful and kind. If you only can stay a day, the time there is so very wonderful."
"This is a nice place until you try to Sleep in the room we were in 205 you could hear every Toilet that flushed any shower that was turned on and any water that was turned on. So was not pleasant "
"Cabins are clean and kitchen is stocked with everything needed to cook meals. Towels and linens provided . Cabins are outdated, but nice layout and clean. Will stay here again."
