I just happen on this place when looking for a place near Elephant Rock SP and Johnson's Shutins. It's like stepping back to a nicer time....where hopsitality was still important. The breakfasts and dinners where amazing home cooked comfort food. The fact that they have a bar/happy hour and the drinks are resonsonable is a bonus! I went on a small unplug from the world weekend. I would say if you go here in the summer the atmosphere may be different but it would be a great place to stay with kids or a romantic partner. Pool, Gameroom, mini golf, river is right across the gravel road. I could go on and on..... ##### Nicole Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sueleal 5 Jun 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Staff was excellent and very friendly. Loved all the books and cozy furniture. Loved the cabin and woods. The food was excellent. They asked our food allergies and things we may not have liked ahead of time. Loved the games available. Loved seeing all the dogs and may ask to bring mine next visit. Loved the location near state parks. Loved the decor. ##### Sueleal Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 24 Jul 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I loved Wilderness Lodge! It feels like a family summer camp. I felt almost like a kid again going to summer camp at Wilderness. I loved the food, staff, amenities and the cabin we stayed in. Def. will visit the Wilderness Lodge again! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 1 Jul 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities great location very nostalgic ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Scott 13 Oct 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### great place Amazing ##### Scott Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### James 7 Aug 2020 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Very Good! Really liked this place, it has very much a “throw-back” feel. The food was amazing and the staff is incredible friendly. It was convenient to do a float trip, the pool was wonderful, and having the bar onsite for the dinner hours was very nice. Some of the room could use some updating, but overall very good. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/497775D14C84CF13F39E4C66780558510DE945FB1596823909759.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/16D76710DE397CDDB082C77490B9B30D647D5F721596823908134.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3ECA0035C5A024B2CB06C9BBA9CC207B004B39531596823906459.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8FC9BCF14E877D44C34241E42C78B0173D8119721596823905613.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### James Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lisa 28 Jul 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort This place was in the middle of nowhere but so neat and all the food is fresh and home made and absolutely delicious! The staff was beyond accommodating and wonderful! The room was outdated but very neat for a cabin! ##### Lisa Stayed 1 night in Jul 2020 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jerry 5 Jul 2020 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities #### Last choice resort. If you have money to waste, this place is for you. Well overpriced for what you are getting. Service is great, but for the price not worth it. Beware that you can't cancel your reservation, they will keep every cent and charge more for any alter on your reservation. Don't forget to bring tick spray, you will need it. River is the best part and it does not belong to them, so you can find cheaper options somewhere else. I paid $1,140.00 for two nights (3 adults, two small kids and two dogs which cost $50 per entire stay). Food was not as great as everyone had written in reviews, those people have not eaten in real restaurants. ##### Jerry Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mark T 28 Jun 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Missouri retreat The property was well maintained and the staff was friendly and genuine. ##### Mark T Stayed 1 night in Jun 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elizabeth 18 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Elizabeth Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### mike 8 Aug 2025 ##### mike Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Timber Ridge Lodge and Waterpark](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lake-Geneva-Hotels-Timber-Ridge-Lodge-And-Waterpark.h1043867.Hotel-Information) > > [Yosemite Southgate Hotel & Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oakhurst-Hotels-Yosemite-Southgate-Hotel-Suites.h3650.Hotel-Information) > > [Wuksachi Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sequoia-National-Park-Hotels-Wuksachi-Lodge.h893730.Hotel-Information) > > [Dutch Wonderland Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lancaster-Hotels-Cartoon-Network-Hotel.h50407269.Hotel-Information) > > [Bayshore Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Traverse-City-Hotels-Bayshore-Resort.h34264.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Orchid](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kamuela-Hotels-Fairmont-Orchid.h25190.Hotel-Information) > > [Aspen Select](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rochester-Hotels-Aspen-Select.h12245240.Hotel-Information) > > [Maui Coast Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kihei-Hotels-Maui-Coast-Hotel.h28645.Hotel-Information) > > [Travelodge by Wyndham Winchester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Winchester-Hotels-Travelodge-By-Wyndham-Winchester.h9600.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Santa Clara](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santa-Clara-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Santa-Clara.h4313.Hotel-Information) > > [Sea Crest Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/North-Falmouth-Hotels-Sea-Crest-Beach-Hotel.h25567.Hotel-Information) > > [The View Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kayenta-Hotels-The-View-Hotel.h59418009.Hotel-Information) > > [Isla Bella Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marathon-Hotels-Isla-Bella-Beach-Resort-Spa.h24101706.Hotel-Information) > > [Anvil Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jackson-Hole-Hotels-Anvil-Hotel.h894210.Hotel-Information) > > [Yosemite View Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/El-Portal-Hotels-Yosemite-View-Lodge.h576660.Hotel-Information) > > [The Elms Hotel & Spa, a Destination by Hyatt Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kansas-City-Hotels-The-Elms-Hotel-Spa.h119325.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Price by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Price-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Price.h9253345.Hotel-Information) > > [La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Myrtle Beach - N Kings Hwy](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Myrtle-Beach-Hotels-La-Quinta-Inn-Suites-By-Wyndham-Myrtle-Beach-N-Kings-Hwy.h6849.Hotel-Information) > > [Baymont by Wyndham Mishawaka South Bend Area](https://www.expedia.co.uk/South-Bend-Hotels-Baymont-By-Wyndham-Mishawaka-South-Bend-Area.h1976.Hotel-Information) > > [Solterra Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Solterra-Resort.h18526478.Hotel-Information) > > [Comfort Inn & Suites Napoleon](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Defiance-Hotels-Comfort-Inn-Suites.h200743.Hotel-Information) > > [Bar N Ranch](https://www.expedia.co.uk/West-Yellowstone-Hotels-Bar-N-Ranch.h11548135.Hotel-Information) > > [La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Cocoa Beach Oceanfront](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cocoa-Beach-Hotels-La-Quinta-Inn-Suites-By-Wyndham-Cocoa-Beach-Oceanfront.h894002.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Place Titusville / Kennedy Space Center](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Titusville-Hotels-Hyatt-Place-Titusville-Space-Center.h44354265.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Key Largo by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Key-Largo-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Key-Largo.h7230.Hotel-Information) > > [Gurney's Montauk Resort & Seawater Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Montauk-Hotels-Gurneys-Montauk-Resort-Seawater-Spa.h7033726.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Marguerite Anaheim/Garden Grove, Trademark Collection by Wyndham](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Garden-Grove-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Garden-Grove-Anaheim-South.h917954.Hotel-Information) > > [Riviera Resort Palm Springs](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Margaritaville-Resort-Palm-Springs.h26011.Hotel-Information) > > [Balmoral Resort Florida](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Haines-City-Hotels-Balmoral-Resort-Florida.h19447044.Hotel-Information) ---
