My stay at Mountain Lake Lodge was quite enjoyable with its beautiful scenery and engaging activities for the whole family. The rooms were clean and comfortable, though they showed some signs of age. The dining experience had its highs and lows, mostly due to pacing issues with the food service. The adventure park provided plenty of fun, but some activities felt a bit disorganized.

My stay at the resort was a mix of delightful experiences and a few disappointments. The cabins were in great shape with stunning views, and the dinner at the lodge was delicious. However, the morning coffee shop service was frustratingly slow, and I was surprised by the parking fee for overnight guests. Overall, it's a lovely destination for locals, but it might not be worth a long trip unless for a special occasion.
