“Overnight Get-A-Way”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 10, 2012

My husband and I only get one weekend a month to ourselves, due to bi-weekly visitations with his children and his job, so I decided to book us an overnight get-a-way. Being it was spur of the moment, obviously I didn't want to pay a great deal of $, but wanted to also stay in decent accommodations. I was pleased with Lakestar Lodge. First, because they would accommodate an overnight stay and didn't require a two night minimum. Secondly, because they were affordably priced, for the area. They are under new ownership and are undergoing renovations, which was advised on their website, so there were no surprises, when we arrived for check-in. The owners were very warm and friendly and the accommodations, while a little outdated (which is the cause of the renovation) were still very acceptable and clean. Even for a rainy, dreary weekend, we still had a beautiful view of the lake and enjoyed our overnight stay very much. We got a sneak peak of a room they'd begun renovations on and were even asked for our input and we're excited to return again, for another stay, in the future, once the renovations are complete, because it looked as though they have a good vision and the rooms will be beautifully situated/appointed.

Room Tip: Room 20 was the room we saw, that was under construction, so I'm thinking that'll be the fir...

“Good for the Price”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed December 6, 2012

Only stayed one night so the value for a family of four couldn't be beat in the double queen room. The decor is a tad old, though I hear they are remodeling with new beds and linens in December/January which will up the quality tremendously. Rooms are small and cramped (very little privacy for the bathrooms) though the upsides are nice flat screen TVs, new/clean mini refrigerator and microwave, ample neighbor privacy and friendly service. Check in was a breeze and they accommodated us early. The hotel backs up to Deep Creek Lake offering a superb view of the water and ski slopes. If you're looking for a decent place to crash on short notice...great place!

Room Tip: Rooms upstairs have more private balconies.

“IT WAS WONDERFUL”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 3, 2012

It was our first time to stay at the lake and it was great! We had a nice room with a fireplace, great view of the lake and at night could see the people sledriding. The young man at the front desk, I believe his name was Seth was so nice and helpful. He told me places to go around there and good place to eat. The room was clean ( couple stains on the carpet) but that is expected in public places and smelled like febreeze when we went in. Great place to stay and would recommend it!!

Room Tip: upstairs rooms have fireplaces and great view of the lake!

4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 3, 2012 via mobile

Front desk personel (Seth) went above and beyond! My girlfriend and I stayed one night at the Lakestar. The view is gorgeous! Convenient location! Only negative would be carpet could have used a good cleaning and room could have smelled fresher but overall I will stay at the Lakestar again!

“Love this Lodge & the Lake view”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 21, 2012

We arrived early last weekend (around 12n) and was prepared to kill a bit of time before check in, which is at 3pm, but our rooms was ready, how nice. The lake view is spectacular.The property is well kept and the location is great, close to the restaurants. Pine Lodge Steakhouse is a great delicious restaurant!

The lodge is under new owners and they have done a great job remodeling the lobby and the kitchen area since the last time we where here last summer.
On our last day we met the new owner and his wife and they were very nice and friendly. The are planning to renovate all the rooms by next summer.
We will definitely come back next year.
