We've enjoyed Lakeside twice a year since our first visit in late Sept 2005. Upon arriving, you can't help but feel relaxed. We stayed again this August 2011. It’s a handy easy weekend getaway spot, only 3-4 hours from the Indy area. Wonderful, quiet private beach (if you don't mind many steps down and up) wonderful sunsets can be memorable.... More

The room was clean but simple. The bathroom was very small. I am ok with all of that. It's Harrison, what do you expect. I am a seasoned traveler and have stayed in dumps and also the likes of the Ritz Carlton. So, the bottom line is you get what you pay for. My only real complaint here seems to... More

Was told by management ! They automatically ASSUMED we were smoking in the room!!! (However, we were told before hand that the room was a heavily smoked in) Mangement informed us they attempted to charge a 100$ fee for smoking, when we never even smoked in the room. The Thermostat was fake wired, leaving you to think you are adjusting... More

We came up to help a friend, living on nearby Lake Arnold, get her house ready for some repair work and tree removal. We had no idea where to stay, but found the Lakeside Motel & Cottages on line. What a GREAT find. It was close to where we needed to be, clean, cozy, beautiful area for walks, and dog... More

Thanks so much for a lovely birthday weekend! The little cake you had on the table when we arrived was such a thoughtful gesture. And.. it was yummy! I'm glad you encouraged me to book for Monday night as well. We enjoyed the county fair; the flea market, canoeing Budd Lake and simply enjoying your beautifully manicured and appointed grounds....

I'm an accountant that often travels for business. When I first drove through this town on the way to my client's I wasn't sure what I was going to do for lodging. I checked up on local places to stay online and decided on this motel. I was pleasantly surprised and happy I chose this one. It's on a beautiful... More

Our recent stay at the Lakeside Motel provided a quiet relaxed atmosphere for a mini escape. Nestled along the Lake Budd shore, the early morning bird watching is great. The Spa Tub rooms are large and excellantly appointed. The staff were extremely helpful in pointing out the "good spots" to fish at nearby Lake George. We had a wonderfully restful... More

I stayed at Lakeside after being shocked that the town I had chose to stay in was not as lovely as I'd hoped. The Lakeside motel was not only the nicest place in Harrison, but in my opinion, the entirity of Clare county. While it is small, and with a smaller size management, they've done a fantastic job keeping it... More

My husband and I stayed here with our tots (aged two and three and a half) for a weekend getaway. The room was charming, the service was wonderful. Jules was helpful and kindly when we made reservations. We received family-friendly service. Blane assisted us in choosing a restaurant for a late-evening dinner after our arrival. He left beach towels out... More
