A very pleasant, quiet lakeside resort. We spent a week in the "Shoreline" cabin, whose deck offers a great view of the "Cup and Saucer" cliffs across the lake. Our cabin was clean and well kept. The main complaint we had with it was that there was no curtain over the door. Although no one could see into our cabin from a neighboring one, people do pass very close to each other's cabins on walkways leading down to the beach, and in the course of that someone might very easily have seen in. Other cabins didn't appear to have this problem, and since the door looked new, the management may still be in the process of finishing that upgrade. I didn't take any pictures of the cabin, unfortunately, though I thought the ones on Red Lodge's web site accurately represented what we found.
The bathroom was also clean, though there is a very large water heater tank out in plain view. The shower shelf was too narrow to store shampoo/soap bottles well, and the shower is dark--the light in the bathroom is positioned so little illumination makes it to the shower stall. But, while you're in there you can count on hot water.
The kitchen doesn't have an oven or stove, though there is a two-burner hot plate for cooking. A gas grill is out on the deck. Utensils/cookware were in good condition, something that can't be said of many other rental cabins. A Keurig coffeemaker is included with the room. A few brewing cups are provided, but it would be a good idea to bring your own if you're staying for more than a night.
There is a restaurant on premises which we tried one night. My wife had the roast beef, I got pan fried whitefish. They were both just fair. My wife's beef was a little dry and my whitefish was oily--maybe a little too much grease in that pan? The breading on my fish was overly herby. The side vegetables were out of a freezer. Not a bad dinner, but overpriced given the quality of it. The lounge on the other hand was very comfy, with a rustic, north-woodsy feel. The beer menu includes some local brews. Board games and cards, which you can take back to your cabin, area available there.
Aside from the accommodations, I was really impressed with just how quiet the lake and the general area are. Rarely heard or saw boats on the lake or heard noise coming from nearby cabins. A very relaxing getaway spot I'd have no problem returning to. read more
