Love the trail and the ability to walk around the area with our dog. Great cabins and area to relax and enjoy the outdoors.

Property is definitely dog friendly which we liked. The areas around the cabin were kept pretty clean. The main problem is that the shop opened late and closed early, so when we had a problem where our wi-fi passcode expired after our first night, we were stuck without wi-fi so our kids couldn't do their school work. The shop closed at 5p and the passcode they provided expired before 5:30p. Left a voicemail around 5:30p, but they didn't get back to me until we decided to check out a day early and was already on the road around 11a. If you don't need wi-fi or cell service then you would be fine. Also, our sat TV in the cabin didn't work so we couldn't watch that either. Luckily we brought cards so we played that to pass the time, but since this was spring break and our kids had homework, we had to leave a day early to give them back time to do their homework.

We are sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your stay, as most of our guests do. Our store is only open 10am to 5pm during our slow season because we do not get enough business to pay staff during the winter/early spring months. "Spring Break" is a little different here than if you were visiting somewhere southern, so we are not busy at this time of year. I am not sure how your wifi password expired, so I will be looking into that. We do have issues with wifi and the satellite TV from time to time, since we are so remote and it's basically impossible to have consistent services as such. It is very frustrating for us to get negative reviews on things that we cannot control because of where we are located, but it is also a good reminder for people to be prepared when visiting and travelling to remote locations in the mountains.

What a gem
Crater Lake Resort was such a gem! The property was overall clean & we loved our cute little cabin. We really enjoyed the amenities provided at the resort including a canoe, a small walking trail, corn hole, horseshoes, plus grills & fire pits. We had such a relaxing stay here & enjoyed the close proximity to Crater Lake.

Thank you for your feedback. Our guests are always welcome to ask for more blankets. I apologize if no one was around to get you any. As far as the mosquitoes go, we try our best to spray the property, but is impossible to keep them all at bay. We hope to see you again.

When leaving a 1 star review it would be nice if you could also provide some feedback on how we could improve or what issues you came across. Leaving a review like this, without explanation, feels like you actually didn't have a reason.

Super clean property, gorgeous creek that runs through the middle, lovely accommodations. Some things to consider- our cabin had low ceilings, and the beds were not the best- felt like a trampoline every time my husband moved. Besides that, the cabin was super clean, had great amenities, the property was very quiet, and it felt very safe. Enjoyed our stay.

Ad promised both wifi and a television when neither was actually available. I would NOT have stayed here if I knew the truth. When I asked for assistance with their non working amenities I was met with both anger and rudeness from staff. For the price paid I felt completely overcharged. I do not recommend this place for anyone.

I am sorry that you had a poor experience. It is extremely difficult to have consistent satellite and wifi in a location such as ours. It is very frustrating for us to receive negative reviews on things that we cannot control. Although, since your stay, we have been working diligently to try and get a new system installed to help with the issue. I am sorry that you had a negative interaction with a staff member. That specific staff member is no longer working for us.

We stayed in quaint little cabins that were just perfect, and incredibly clean. The deck overlooked a little stream (that we canoed in with the free canoe), and the office/store was nicely stocked with snacks, food, and refreshments. The staff was very friendly. It is a beautiful, uncomplicated place that was very enjoyable. We will be back!

We do have wifi, but it can be finicky since we are located in a remote area. We do have cooking grills...lots of them...there is a propane grill on our back patio, a few charcoal grills on the property, each tent site has a firepit to cook on, and all of our creekside cabins have additional outdoor grills. Also, most of our cabins have a kitchenette with a cooktop, or a full kitchen.

I am sorry that your TV was not working, and that you feel our resort is only worth paying for if you get good TV reception. We pride ourselves on having a beautiful, clean, comfortable resort, and we do offer other amenities like outdoor games, a playground, walking trail, canoes for guest use, picnic areas, and more. We are working on getting better reception at our location, which should be in place by the late spring.

There are very few lodging options near Crater Lake. I didn't realize the cabin here did not have A/C. I never got the TV to work properly. I was pleasantly surprised with good water pressure, and the store had plenty of supplies. There are plenty of activities to do at the property.
Response from GM on 2024/4/10
Thank you for your review. You are correct, we do not have A/C, and we do not advertise that we do. With the mild summer temps in our area it does not make sense to pay for A/C in each one of our cabins, especially since that is a cost we would have to pass on to our guests. With an average high of 83, and an average low of 43, in July and August, it just doesn't make sense. We do include fans in each cabin for those days that get a little stuffy.

This is a camp site not a Resort with a dozen cabins and a few tents, and a lots of RV parking there! In the email you sent it was written as "You booked 1 room". In realty it is a tent.

We are sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your stay. We are a resort by definition. We have 13 lovely cabins, 4 camp sites, and 8 RV sites. Lots of green space, a playground, yard games, walking trail with a covered bridge and a floating bridge, pickle ball court, and canoe rentals. It looks as if you booked through a third party booking website, so I am sorry that you booked a tent instead of an actual cabin - but our lodging descriptions are very detailed.

Our average high temperature in the summer is 83, and the average low is 43, so it just doesn't make sense for us to have air conditioning. The closest restaurants are 12 miles away, which for our rural area, is pretty close. Sorry to hear you didn't find enjoyment at our peaceful resort.
