Not so grand, Grand View
The property didn’t match up to the online description. The room we thought had three beds was not in a room but in a loft space which forced everyone to go to bed early as the room with all the beds was a space for kids to sleep. Even if we wanted to use a bed in a different room, the door wouldn’t shut properly. Besides that frustration, every surface of the property was either cracked, chipped, scuffed, torn, broken, or just in need of replacement. Additionally there was what appeared to be a clean towel that was wet and bugs came out when we went to use it. The worst part was the smell! It was a strong sewage smell that never dissipated throughout our stay. When we told registration about our experience no one was overly concerned. Lastly, the distance from this property to the main grounds of the resort was a 5-10min drive depending on traffic so we barely could enjoy the amenities. I would NOT recommend this property especially given that we spent well over $600 a night to stay in a stinky, dilapidated place for vacation!

Therooms were clean and appointed in the theme of a 1950’s resort. The bathrooms were modern and the showers great.
We ate at the breakfast buffet (There were at least five restaurants on the property). The main courses of the buffet could have been hotter. The food was good and the selection other than the temperature.
Staying at the Grand View was expensive. We paid for activities that we were not there to use. The staff members were friendly and courteous. We would not stay there again unless we were looking to vacation at a beautiful resort.

Great place for our group friend/family get together. Lots for the kids to do at the lake, we used the gym, and had a big group at the breakfast buffet which was great. Rooms were comfy and clean. We were in a cabin type room with a kitchen and it definitely could have used some more practical utensils and items (no spatula, no oven mitts, sponge) but that was the only inconvenience. Loved our stay.

Beautiful settings for my nieces wedding! Everything was wonderful except...the staff are really serious about their 4:30 pm check in time. NO consideration for an early check in for a 5 pm wedding even though my brother spent thousands of dollars on venue, drinks, dinner and rooms! They did direct me to bathrooms to get ready in. I finally took my bags to my room around midnight...after the celebration.

Grandview lodge is a wonderful place to stay. It’s more expensive than the properties next to it, however it offered a lot more amenities and options.
