First, the staff were fabulous and did everything they could to accommodate our needs.
The lodge however is REALLY run down. Not just a little. A lot. We paid $548 for two nights however only stayed one due to the state of the accommodations.
There were holes in the doors, the crawl space was open, the walls had hand prints on them, shower had a hole in it, hot water didn’t turn on in the kitchen, the sink was rusty in the bathroom, the deck was falling apart and that’s just our room. The rest of the lodge area was a mess. Beer bottles, scrap wood, many cabins were not functional and had no windows.
It’s disappointing to see such potential be disregarded. The staff worked so hard to satisfy the guests and unfortunately the owners don’t put any effort into the place.

I’m gonna try to be positive but real. I agree with the other reviews. It does look rundown and abandoned. We seemed to be the only party there on a Friday evening in July while it was gloomy and rainy. It was creepy. We rented a rustic cabin on the lake which has access to the bathhouse except they lock the bathhouse and didn’t give us the code so no access to plumbing/toilets/shower the first night. That was a real bummer. When they arrived the next morning to the lodge we went to tell them but they were definitely not apologetic. They said the code should be in the room but honestly-it looked like no one had been in our room for some time. It was clean-ish but with cobwebs, moths, etc. bedding was clean so that was positive. The other odd thing is they don’t have any garbage cans or garbage bags in the cabins. They say you have to take your own garbage out which is kind of a lot to ask when we do r even have a garbage bag to take it in. And what do we do drive with the garbage in the car for the trip home or dump it in some gas station garbage piece by piece. Just weird.
The location is excellent. Beautiful view of the lake and distance to trail heads. It has so much potential but I think maybe it should do some major renovations before renting rooms. We ate breakfast at the lodge Sunday morning. It was good. Waitress was new and order wasn’t right but she was trying. Would I stay again? Probably not for $200/night. It was very over priced.

The property closes at 8pm. I called ahead and told them I would be a little late to check in. The staff was very nice stayed late to let me check in. The property is a little rustic; no TV's, internet and wifi only near the lobby The views of the lake are beautiful. I found my room to be charming. The bed wasn't great but it was good enough. However, I had some sort of a critter in my room during the night. I couldn't sleep in my room and spent the night in my car. I explained the situation to the staff in the morning. They were very empathetic and didn't charge me for my room. If I make it back to the area I would give them another try.

first off if you are wanting a high end with all bells and whistles stay and no dirt, readily available wifi, don't bother! This is a place to disconnect and get away and enjoy what wyoming has to offer for those who don't mind nature and dirt😉 The customer service IS BEYOND AMAZING!! These folks went out of their way to make our stay epic! The food was delicious and the fact that we could escape all of the crazy going on in the world was beyond needed. The cabins and shower facilities are beyond what one would expect, super clean, and yes there is dirt, you should probably expect that in the mountains lol. We could not have asked for a better and more enjoyable time! We will go back mamy times and will be making this a tradition 🤗

We planned a family vacation here and were disappointed when we drove up. The cabins are run down and many of them are abandoned with broken windows. The room was dirty inside as well and we had trouble locking the front door and the patio door was broken! We expected maps of the many trails the website talked about and actually they have no maps and no atv’s and when you inquire about them they have no suggestions or ideas! We decided to leave early and there is no way they will refund any money so beware if you are unsure book only one night or you won’t get $1 back! I got the number for the owner and tried to contact her but my call was not returned.

My family and I have been stopping at meadow Lake large restaurant for many years. Instantly we knew it had to have been under New Management because the service was piteous and the menu minimalist. They did not have a menu to give you he said we'll scan the QR code. The Wi-Fi service there is terrible so after 10 minutes of working to find the menu online our waiter didn't even know there were only five items available. We were not given silver where and when we asked we were told, " we want people to eat with their hands! " I understand why we were the only people there and we will not be stopping again. We paid $57 for hamburger buy some burger and a side of onion rings and it was not worth it. In the past the service has been delightful we've enjoyed spending their anniversary there and having our photos taken there. We won't darken their door again until management has changed again

My sister booked online for us. A 2 night stay in a cabin mid-April. $327.80. When we arrived the place appeared to be very run-down and abandoned. Creepy. There was a “closed” sign on the door to the lodge and snow all around the building and down to the cabins. We left and went to Ten Sleep to find lodging. Meadowlark lake Lodge charged the credit card 3 days before our arrival and no one has returned our calls.

I am appalled and disgusted at our recent stay at the Meadowlark Lake Resort.
It is not a resort, far from it. The owners should be ashamed of themselves. The pictures on their website were very misleading. This place is so run down. Nothing has been maintained. The worst was our room at the lodge. During covid, things should be sanitized and beyond clean. Instead, it not clean and not sanitized. I actually had to clean the floors in the bathroom, the bathtub, and shake out a very dirty matt. There was a used washcloth on the bathtub and old soap in the shower. I had the creeps and wanted to leave. Please beware. This is not a place for anyone with the pandemic we are currently facing. If I get Covid, I will come after this establishment. To the owners: for goodness sake, wake up. I should report you!

This is a review of the cafe, which I visited Sunday, 7/31/22. I know nothing about the other aspects of the Lodge.
I was out on my bike roadtripping over the mountain from Lovell to Ranchester to Buffalo and back over 16 to Worland. It was lunch time (12:38) when I stopped hoping to get a bite to eat. They had a limited menu which included a hamburger/ cheeseburger, a chicken strip basket and a Philly cheesesteak. I opted for the cheeseburger which was a nice juicy patty with a setup of good (not wilted) lettuce a tomato slice and 3 or 4 pickles, don't remember the onion if it was there., served on a toasted bun. The fries were freshcut, not frozen and good.
It got real special when I asked if they had pie and coffee for desert. I was informed that they did not have any pie but there were cinnamon rolls. AMAZING!! That had to be the best cinnamon roll I've had in the last 20 years, honestly! The coffee was just as good. What a glorious way to ride down the highway, stuffed to the gills!
Yeah, it wasn't cheap, but like I told a tourist from Indiana You're at a resort, expect to pay resort prices..
10 out of 10, WILL be back again

We had not planned on staying here. Our primary transportation broke down. We spent two days and one night waiting for our tow truck.
I’ve seen the previous reviews…..can only attribute that to the lack of leadership of the outbound owners.
In the meantime, Lori (GM/future owner) and her staff took care of us like we were the #1 customers of the year. Having said that, we watched as they treated everyone the same way….it was awesome!
Particularly noteworthy, Lori is an awesome Chef!
I highly recommend to anyone to stop by, it’s on the verge of being great!
