It was nice that coffee was right there on the same property! We stayed over 4th of July and it was super busy, but Camp Richardson was close to everything wanted to do. We rented kayaks and took a boat ride to tour the Vikingsholm castle right from the marina.

My experience here was really well. The staff there were great and greeted me and my wife happily, even though it was late. They made sure we had everything to get settled in. Parking was good and we like that we can just walk down to the shore from the hotel. It was a really great stay.

Old hotel with plenty of charm. The staff were friendly and helpful and the local scenery was gorgeous. The bear warning are no joke was we saw several of them around the property. The negatives were circumstantial, but definitely impacted the experience: Our room faced the street and it was hard to sleep even with ear plugs. We stayed in July and on the second floor meaning hot hot nights since the best option for AC is the portable fan provided in the room.

The room was well maintained and excetionaly clean. Parking was good and the wi-fi reliable. The staff did not know the wrd no, everything was yes and attended to. The staff should be commended, they are an example of the service of the past that is seldom seen today. I can not say enough about them. We had a stay that most properties only dream of providing.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Rooms and property are very clean. Seems like “staff parking” is larger than the guest parking so could be tricky getting a space near the actual hotel. Keep in mind walls are thin, so if you’re looking for a quiet night just know you’re at the mercy of your neighbor. Wifi was great, nice and fast, no buffering. Complementary ice water available all day, coffee in the morning and an ice machine was a great touch! Walking distance to the general store, ice cream shop and coffee shop. The lake is about a 7 minute walk, and has a nice paved path for bikes and walkers.
