This place was scary...No heat in the rooms, plastic mattress covers, and they turn the water off at night, so forget about getting a drink after tasting wine all day, or even taking a shower in the morning! Innkeeper was dysfunctional at best. Great wine tour (helluva good one!) Find different lodging. more

Our experience here was creepy at best. The grounds were horribly kept up. We stayed in one of the cabins and the immediate area was littered with old construction materials, etc. The room inside was suriprisingly OK - clean, bright, roomy. We were the only people staying in the motel then, so I would think they would give us their... more

My wife and I found the staff friendly and helpful. We had a very nice room with microwave and frig. When we booked are room we asked for one bed but we had two in our room. We will go back to Hawaii on the Lake again. more

There's a reason why everything else books first. This hotel s****. We felt like we were in a episode of the Twilite Zone. The staff dosn't speak or understand much english. When my husband went for towels in the morning (there weren't any in the room and a !/8 of a roll of toilet paper) the girl at the desk... more

We stayed here for years before it changed hands and always had an excellent experience. We always asked and stayed in the same room each year, so when we called and reserved our room (by specific number) we didn't expect anything different. We travelled quite far and had a late check-in. We got one of the white "cabins". When we... more

Where do I start, well I did read the ratings beforehand. I said, "OK I'll stay away from that place". But most places were booked so I saw a place listed as "Bellevue" online. I called and booked a room. When I got there it was "Hawaii on the Lake/Bellevue" so I knew what to expect and I wasn't disappointed.... more

We expected the worst from all the reviews on this site, but that was the only place available for our last minute get away. We did get one of the newer cabins, and were pleasantly suprised when we opened the door. it was a basic hotel room layout, but with cathedral ceilings and a skylight. and cedar trim and beams... more
