Room was very nice. Clean, well kept. Snacks downstairs were nice. Walls are paper thin and the heat was on absolute full blast which was brutal. Shower was very small and the angle of the shower head was very awkward. Other than that it was a good stay for an evening

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Great Pines and found it to be a peaceful and scenic retreat. The lakeside view from our room was absolutely beautiful. While the room felt a bit dated and was on the colder side, the bed itself was very comfortable. We especially appreciated the cozy cabin-style décor found throughout the property. We enjoyed spending time in front of the fireplace in the main lobby — a warm, inviting space perfect for unwinding after a day out. Breakfast was included, though the selection was limited and offered in a grab-and-go format. The staff was friendly and accommodating. Since we visited in the off-season, several of the usual amenities and services were unavailable, which we completely understand. Overall, the setting and atmosphere were wonderful, and we’re looking forward to returning when the property is fully operational so we can experience everything it has to offer.

There was no staff. Room was nice-except for the extremely small shower. No outside lights on the balcony. Open cartons of juice and milk in a fridge to help yourself was unsanitary. Loved the lodge type decor.

I actually did not eat the breakfast. I saw some of the fixings… It looked OK I ate at a local diner. The property is beautiful. We love waking up to a lake view. I thought it was a little overpriced for the room that we had which was a corner room very small. The rest of the rooms looked very large. We totally enjoyed our stay. It was beautiful. I would recommend the great Pines as it was recommended to us very cozy.

Ridiculously over-priced

Absence of anywhere convenient to actually have breakfast was odd & the management deciding that guests should not be allowed to chose their coffee totally unacceptable. Whatever happened to freedom of choice?

Booked a Lakeside one bedroom cabin suite. It was dark dingy the windows were dirty. The worst part was the dividing doors between the two rooms. We might as well have a curtain there. It was not even close to soundproof. We felt like we were sharing a room with strangers, could hear every word of their conversations and all other “activities “.

This is the perfect Adirondack lodging. We stayed in the motel in a double room. It had a spectacular view of the lake. The resort was very tranquil. Self check-in went smoothly. The grounds are very well-maintained. We enjoyed walking along the dock for a close view of the lake front. The property has Adirondack seating with spectacular views, fire pits, and lodge amenities like board games available. The continental breakfast was just what we needed as was the late evening dinner at Lean To restaurant. We will definitely be back!

The room was clean, but dated and very basic. Very little lighting in the room. The heating/AC unit was so loud that we had difficulty sleeping. The setting is beautiful, and the staff was helpful. This venue is more like a camp than a resort.

We did not know in advance that check in instructions would be sent via email; by the time we got to this hotel, we did not have 5G service to check our email. There was no one at the desk, just a sign instructing us to check email, plus a phone number to call. Once we got in touch with staff, they were very friendly and explained how to check in and where our room was. The room view from the second story lodge room was glorious, especially at dawn. The bed was comfortable. It was very clean; the establishment is older, so the bathroom tiles were not in good shape. We recommend this place.
