The Lodge at Pickwick Landing

Sorry to say, very unfriendly reception, loud, and way overpriced. We love State Park Lodges. This one just doesn't fit the description of what a State Park Lodge should feel like. Barking dog in room below us throughout the entire stay. No ice in ice machines, no toilet paper or Kleenex in rooms, and can time the elevators with a calendar. Oh, and the food at the restaurant was terrible, to say the least. :(

So when winter storm Fern hit, these people stepped up! I was sent out to help restore power here at Pickwick and they housed and fed us! The staff was absolutely amazing and the food was great. They went above and beyond for us! So grateful for them and the hospitality. 2 names I can remember were Kim and Molly. I had power and warm place to stay, all while I can remember Kim being out of power and still working there for us. We finally were able to get her power back on probably on the 9th day. She was always so positive and so appreciative. Thanks again to all who were there for us, while we were there for you.

This is a nice lodge. I would stay here again. Each room has an attached balcony that allows you a view of the water. There are multiple areas to congregate with others. I enjoyed the indoor fireplace, the high ceilings, and the complementary coffee. The only thing that would have made our stay better is free breakfast or at least decreased lodging costs. If we are paying such high prices, it really doesn't make sense to also charge for the breakfast on the weekends while those who stay during the weekdays receive free breakfast. Portions that were received were underwhelming, so I can't figure out why anyone would feel inclined to go to the dining room unless you're simply interested in the views of the water from your table. I would have been happy with pre-packaged muffins or some cerea

Our first time to stay. The rooms were nice and clean and the restaurant has great food. Not to complain, but the free Continental breakfast was lacking. My standards are not set too high for free but Hampton Inn's breakfast was a feast in comparison.

We did not stay at the Hotel. We went to eat at the restaurant. The place is beautiful. We had one of the best waitresses ever. She was very friendly and attentive. The problem we had was with the food itself. I had the 10oz NewYork strip w/baked potato and salad. She had the chicken Alfredo w/salad and sweet potato fries. We also had the cheese curds for appetizer. The cheese curds were awesome. My steak was cooked medium but was very tough and heavily peppered and salted to the point it was only edible due to drinking after each bite. I had sweet tea which was very good and the waitress kept my glass filled. Never had to once ask for a refill. The baked potato was also heavily salted. It didn't have much of a taste plus it was not soft. I ate maybe two bites of it. The roll was old. So
