Our cabin slept 16 (two separate rooms with 4 bunk beds each), two bathrooms with shower and a kitchen. Very outdated and the floors had soft spots in it Apparently, each cabin is maintained by a local church. The camp grounds were overgrown. There is access to Lake Okaboji, however, the dock was full of geese poop and the beach/water area was not inviting. We did walk through the lodge which was much nicer. I think all there money goes into the lodge. Individual rooms and a beautiful deck looking over the lake. There was a group of teens on the property using the chapel and other buildings.

I had already made my annual pilgrimage to West O the day before, and suggested something more to her liking - Wine. Since my last visit the Wine Bar and Art Gallery, the space has expanded into David Thoreson's Blue Water Studio. David actually owns the entire building and if you look behind the door in what I call the "Livingroom" addition, you'll see that his work space is alive and well. There's also an upstairs, but I have no idea what David has going on up there. As this is the 25th Anniversary of Blue Water Studios and the Wine Bar, all the art work on the walls is David Thoreson's, and what a stunning collection it is! Gayle and I hung out, enjoyed a couple glasses of wine, and wished we were here during the weekend to hear their live music offerings (played outside on the patio). Gayle and I were impressed with the wine selection, generous pours, and at a reasonable price, in addition to the comfortable space to enjoy them. And as much as I love West O, this was the right place for us to hang out and spend some time together.

This isn't about weather. It's about mismanagement and a complete lack of regard for guest experience. From the moment we arrived, it was obvious the place is understaffed, underpaid, and overhyped. The staff seem beat down and defeated--not because they don't care, but because leadership clearly doesn't support them. No one is focused on real customer service. Promises mean nothing here. After talking with staff- I realized this isn't a one-time issue--it's a pattern. Over promise and under deliver! From delayed check in times, lack of communication on hours, dirty room, and unmet promises. Guests are left to deal with the disappointment while management shrugs it off and moves on to the next family willing to gamble their hard-earned money on what should be a fun getaway. As long as people keep booking, the quality will stay rock-bottom. If you're considering Bridges Bay for your family trip, ask yourself: Do I really want to risk wasting my money and my kids' excitement on an experience that's just not delivered? Do better, Bridges Bay. (And whomever "John Gravel" is...time to take pride in your job! And if the responsibility lies on those above you-might be time to think about a career change! You should be treated better. Owners- get John some darn support! The service is failing! )

Said he would reset the router and came back and still no internet. Said a repair person was on the way for other building & would also fix my building. Never happened. I called Saturday AM & was told that the internet company never responded to them. Friday night, I came back to my room and a VERY LOUD live band was playing nonstop horrible music. Even with all windows and patio door closed it was unbearable. I called and was told they did not know the restaurant was having live music but they should be quitting when they finished their set??? or at 10pm when restaurant closed. At 11:15pm they were still playing. IT WAS HORRIBLE!!!!! The toilet is very outdated-height from floor very low! Only had half roll of toilet paper and had to walk over to checkin building because house keeping was gone for day to be given one small roll of tp. Window only opened a crack and no screen on patio door. Opened door for very short time and immediately huge mosquitoes were all over room. Some of towels were thin and stained. For average of $435/night it was a total ripoff! I think the entire area is way overbuilt -can't imagine how much water is used. Minnesota has so many better options!
