We had a lovely time at The Pines Resort, enjoying the stunning lakefront views and the spacious accommodations.

While the dining options were enjoyable, we experienced a few service inconsistencies that could use some improvement.

My stay at the Pines Resort was truly memorable. The stunning lakefront views and the variety of outdoor activities really enhanced my experience. I found the chalet spacious and enjoyed the cozy atmosphere, but the room did show some signs of wear, like threadbare carpets. Although I had a wonderful time overall, the lack of housekeeping during my two-night stay was a bit disappointing.
