The price was way too high. The toilet in our room had a messed up flush handle. I was very glad that the property is pet friendly, however would suggest the pet area be mowed. The room was very hot, but the a/c was so loud we had to shut it off to sleep. The breakfast was a nice idea, but wasn't replenished so we had coffee and a granola bar. I recently stayed in Lancaster PA and paid a third of the cost and had a real breakfast (eggs, waffles, sausage, muffins, toast, fruit, ceral, juice)included in the price.

A "new" desk clerk was very helpful when I needed to change my departure date. When that change was made, however, my nightly rate increased by $25/night. When I inquired about the change, the manager did not contact me but tasked the "new" employee with trying to explain the reason for the upcharge. The explanation made no sense. Suggest that large boulders in parking lot be illuminated at night.

Worth taking a look
The location is sublime. View is beautiful as is the property. Room was very small and could be a bit cleaner. Good first visit to this area. Will probably look at other properties next time.

Check in was different. I was text and emailed my room key. I liked that part as it’s very convenient I had all the information on that before arriving. I did miss the old fashion face to face check to notify me of me what the hotel offers. The room itself was fair. A little outdated. Cleanliness was fairly poor. We had several cob webs throughout, a dirty wash cloth hanging from the shower head and what looked to be like a booger on the bathroom mirror. Front desk was is only open from 8-5 and no one was even there around 4:30. Great spot on the lake with beautiful views and that’s what your paying for.

Everything about Great Pines was excellent. The staff were friendly and helpful.We were able to check in early. The property was clean, manicured and the view of the lake was amazing. We enjoyed walking the grounds and sitting in the adirondack chairs. The room was lovely with warm comforter and blankets and plenty of pillows, Towels, extra long and Fluffy. We have found new favorite getaway.
