Comfortable and quiet, friendly staff. Breakfast was minimal but I think its because the restaurant next door isn’t up and running yet due to the fire earlier this year.

Cute, quaint, and rustic

The room decor was very cute and quaint. Loved that everything matched. Gave a very rustic feeling with all the moose and cabin, and fishing scenery.

The sink drained slow, bar sink dripped, bug in coffee pot. One of the beds had a board holding the mattress up. Location is great being right off Hwy 60 and liked the rustic look.

Nice and simple

Bullwinkle Rustic Lodge is exactly as it's billed. The motif is wood, pine cones, and plaids. The desk clerk was friendly and helpful. The lounge is smoker friendly which may appeal to some guests. The lodge is smoke free.

Excellent choice!!

I was super skeptical about this place because it was slightly out of town and the rate was excellent. I was pleasantly surprised. It was honestly the best place we’ve stayed in a very long time! The room was huge, well decorated, and exceptionally clean! The bed was probably the most comfortable hotel bed I’ve slept on. The staff was so friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay again! The only thing that was lack luster was the continental breakfast. There were snack cakey type foods, but I can’t complain.

Double check your room

We booked 2 beds and they only gave me a room with 1 bed and we didn’t go to the room till late so we had to call the property manager and wait for them to come change our room.

A pleasant experience!

The accommodations were eclectic but quite nice. The WiFi was weak and bandwidth was a bit limited. Not painfully limited, but not adequate for steady streaming. May have been just our room - it seemed to vary within the room. All in all, we enjoyed our stay and the staff were very helpful. There was a loud party above us, but that was a one-off. If you are looking for something eclectic and don't need 4 stars, this is for you!

Bad night

Showed up around midnight and the lobby was closed called the emergency number that was posted on the door was told room key was under the door mat. Checked no key had to wait 20 minutes for someone to show up and get us a key. Trash under the bed. Had to get up at 5:30 am. No coffee cups in the room. Go to lobby to get coffee Closed

I read the reviews before booking this hotel so I knew what to expect and they were correct. The hotel was clean and the staff was very nice and accommodating. The facilities were showing their age. The beds were hard and yes you need to bring your own pillows. Plastic was still on the mattress which I liked due to being less likely to have bed bugs but my wife found it noisy. I could stay there again but might pick another hotel.

DO BETTER OR SHUT DOWN

MY FIRST AND LAST TIME EVER AGAIN! The receptionist was very nice, funny, could carry a conversation and just overall good. Now she deserves a RAISE and deserves help in there!! Whoever is the owner I hope YOU READ THIS. You should in-force your policy rules. I was told that quiet time around the lodge is 11pm okay if that’s so then no one should be throwing every single furniture around nor woman at all up and SHOULD have not been allowed back on property. Just please get that woman up there just extra help and a security guard for the weekends there WOULD NOT BE TOO MUCH TROUBLE. I thought me and my fiancé could have just a quiet night together. They were loud from 7:30pm to 4am! I hope some changes will be done very soon. I was not expecting to be in a disguise Motel 6 or Relax Inn truthfully. I was disappointed, I was expecting an actual lake lodge
