We are longtime Lakedale off season lodge visitors, but our experience this weekend was so off-putting that I wanted to make sure that others knew what they’re getting into before going.

The water is brown, or dark yellow at best.

The hotel does not proactively acknowledge the problem. There is no alternative water to drink available.

We were told that this is a “normal off-season thing” but we have been coming for 10 years and I can assure you, it is not.

Felt unsafe, felt unclean. Felt like they did not have a serious problem under control. We were very lucky to be able to book at another hotel in town and did not spend the night.

Lakedale holds so many great memories for us, but we will not be coming back until it is clear the same thoughtful care is paid as it once was.
