Stayed here while visiting family in the area. Good value / quality for money. Balcony and view of the lake are very nice. Room decor is a bit old school but certainly better than Ohio state parks or national parks rooms. Facilities are clean which I appreciate. Our only complaints: 1) There is definitely a water problem in room 311. The musty small is very strong. 2) The mattresses are super old and lumpy. My mom fought hers all night to keep from rolling off to one side. Keep in mind as well that the lodge is somewhat isolated with a limited restaurant offering. Any other food options are 20-30 mins away. Bring your own food with you or hit up the R&F Dairy Bar not too far from the park entrance. I do not mean to sound negative in this place. You just need to know what you are getting yourself into. For lake access and decent accommodation, it is quite good.

Hidden gem
The service was incredible, the views were absolutely stunning (especially in the morning as the fog lifted off the lake). The rooms were clean and the beds were comfortable.

The lodge had a little age on it, but the facility was clean, staff was friendly. Highly recommend for a laid back nostalgic stay.
