We really like staying here when we visit our family. The rooms are easily accessible, the views are amazing, and our dog loves that she can stay with us. We appreciate the grab-n-go options, and enjoyed our cup of tea each evening.

Room was very nice. Clean, well kept. Snacks downstairs were nice. Walls are paper thin and the heat was on absolute full blast which was brutal. Shower was very small and the angle of the shower head was very awkward. Other than that it was a good stay for an evening

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Great Pines and found it to be a peaceful and scenic retreat. The lakeside view from our room was absolutely beautiful. While the room felt a bit dated and was on the colder side, the bed itself was very comfortable. We especially appreciated the cozy cabin-style décor found throughout the property. We enjoyed spending time in front of the fireplace in the main lobby — a warm, inviting space perfect for unwinding after a day out. Breakfast was included, though the selection was limited and offered in a grab-and-go format. The staff was friendly and accommodating. Since we visited in the off-season, several of the usual amenities and services were unavailable, which we completely understand. Overall, the setting and atmosphere were wonderful, and we’re looking forward to returning when the property is fully operational so we can experience everything it has to offer.

There was no staff. Room was nice-except for the extremely small shower. No outside lights on the balcony. Open cartons of juice and milk in a fridge to help yourself was unsanitary. Loved the lodge type decor.

I actually did not eat the breakfast. I saw some of the fixings… It looked OK I ate at a local diner. The property is beautiful. We love waking up to a lake view. I thought it was a little overpriced for the room that we had which was a corner room very small. The rest of the rooms looked very large. We totally enjoyed our stay. It was beautiful. I would recommend the great Pines as it was recommended to us very cozy.

Ridiculously over-priced

Absence of anywhere convenient to actually have breakfast was odd & the management deciding that guests should not be allowed to chose their coffee totally unacceptable. Whatever happened to freedom of choice?

Booked a Lakeside one bedroom cabin suite. It was dark dingy the windows were dirty. The worst part was the dividing doors between the two rooms. We might as well have a curtain there. It was not even close to soundproof. We felt like we were sharing a room with strangers, could hear every word of their conversations and all other “activities “.
