I was looking for a last minute place to stay near Rice Lake wildlife refuge and a room was available. The lodge room was above the bar, and we took advantage of the bar and then the pool area, so there was never a noice issue. The pool area was one of the cleanest I think I’ve ever seen. All the staff from the front desk to the bar was super friendly and helpful ##### Angella Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### AMY 14 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### AMY Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rebecca 22 Sept 2025 ##### Rebecca Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ---
