Grand Ely Lodge Resort & Event Center

Will definately go back. Amenities were very clean and comfortable. Everyone was very hardworking and helpful. Housekeeping checked in on us daily. Front desk staff was very kind and helpful too. The food was consistently great and the waitresses were very kind and attentive. We have to save our money to take trips so I was VERY pleased that nothing about this stay brought me buyer's remorse. Going back next new years! STRONGLY recommend! They do not disappoint!

The restaurant had delicious food with a great view. My room was super cozy and clean, and the lodge was only a 1-minute drive to the downtown area. Everyone there was super friendly and went out of their way to make sure you were taken care of. I would definitely stay here again!

We have loved our stay here both times that we have been here. Great location, very cozy with comfortable beds/pillows, and the staff is all so friendly. We especially love the pool, hot tub, and sauna area after a day of adventures!

We stayed here because of a wedding we were attending down the road. The front desk staff was friendly and let us check in 45 min early. 😊 the room was comfy with a great view of the lake on the 3rd floor! The lobby was beautiful with wooden beams and a huge vault! It would be nice if they had a gift shop instead of all the “gift shop” type items in the lobby area, but I’m guessing an extra area isn’t available. It would have been nice if the fire place would have been going at some point during our stay. The rooms were pricey but that’s understandable during the fall time of the year. Overall it was a great experience. I would stay here again if I find myself in the area.

We have stayed many years and really like the resort. The reason for 3 stars instead of more is because I felt dismissed when I spoke with a manager about their “pet room” policy. Their policy is only for dogs, not cats. I'm not upset that they have that policy, I don't expect them to change that policy, but I do think it's misleading that they don't say DOG friendly rooms when booking reservations over the phone. Fortunately, we called to confirm that a kitten would be okay, because we very nearly just showed up with our cat. Nobody upon booking mentioned that A) this was only a DOG policy or B) that we would need to call back and let them know what animal we would be bringing. When addressing this with management, they didn’t seem concerned that others might need this information ove
