We stayed at Pond's Lodge in one of the guest cabins over New Years, and although we had booked our stay months in advance, somehow our reservation was lost. We wound up having to stay in a 3 bedroom cabin when we had originally booked a 4 bedroom which was inconvenient and not what we wanted. Because the cabin that... More

Told us our reservation was all set for July, we called back to confirm a month later and the manager was extremely rude, unhelpful, and told us our reservation was not confirmed. If you must deal with these people, get everything in writing, and be sure to make backup plans. Or even better, stay someplace with nicer management. Its your... More

We had the best time at Ponds Lodge. Our room was super clean and the staff were so friendly and helpful. It was my sons birthday and I forgot candles for his cake. I brought it up while having dinner at Ponds and the manager brought us candles to our cabin later that afternoon. It's something small but was so... More

Since this is a long review, I will summarize in case you don’t want to read the details. The cabin was not as nice as expected, it was not clean and had several issues. Some of the staff was great, however the one person we interacted with the most was not friendly or helpful. The cabin was dirty and full... More

Cabin 20 was beautiful however there were problems and we received no help from the manager. We were just told that they didn't own the cabin and the owner was out of town. The cabin was in the process of being re-roofed and was not finished. There were 2x4's on the side of the cabin with large nails sticking out.... More

With all the lovely options why oh why did I end up there! Hello! A boarded up front door and boarded up window greeted us. We almost cried. The road, if you want to call it that, would have put a pregnant woman in labor and I think some of my teeth were loosened. When you request a brochure and... More

We recently stayed at Ponds lodge and rented two cabins for our family. The first cabin was an older cabin that accepted pets. From the outside the cabin looks pretty warn down and the inside is not much better. The windows on the first floor don't lock and do not have screens, plus there is a good 1/2" gap between... More

We stayed here again this past winter for a snowmobile trip and enjoyed it very much. We rented one of the newer cabins behind the lodge (a different one from last year) and it was very large, very nice and the price was right. The food at the lodge was great and the employees remembered us from the previous year.... More
