Lake of the Woods Resort

This was our 2^nd time at Lake of the Wood Resort (10/​01/​2015) great time we stayed at the shores cabin which overlook lake. Fishing was a little slow for rainbow trout but catfish were biting
cabin was little dated. had a full kitchen was great have
next year already planned

just got back from a beautiful relaxing trip. we stayed in cabin 22, a stones throw from the lake. with 2 small children in tow we spent most of our day down at the dock catching catfish to the kids delight. the rest of the time we spent enjoying the scenery and peacefulness of a lovely little lake. the cabin was comfortable for 4 adults and 2 children. chilly nights made for a great time in front of the fireplace. it’s a great place to relax and get away from the grind. i have already recommended lake of the woods to my friends and look forward to going back!

We just recently stayed here for 1 night and we can not wait to go back!!! The cabins are real cabins. very rustic… beautiful property and the owner whom checked us in made us feel so welcome… she was wonderful!!! The property is great and close to everything… I read some of the reviews and all I can say to the people who want luxury is… don’t get a cabin… this place is awesome!!!

My husband and I came to relax. It was short notice and when I made the reservation the lady told me the cabin was by the highway, so would be noise. Did not expect so much noise. The road is main road through lakeside. Finally at 2am the noise almost stopped. Otherwise very very noisy. Room clean, but needs updating. The kitchen only had an small frig with no freezer. The wifi was not good, had to sit outside away from cabin 30 feet to get a signal. Would I come back, no probably not.

This place was absolutely stunning. I attended a wedding on this location and I remember looking through the fences and seeing these beautiful horses. It was as if it was a dream it was all misty and you just see these beautiful horses with the sun shining through the mist creating a rainbow like mist over your head. This is an absolute must.

This was our second time staying here in the last few years and I guess the cabins must be hit and miss. The last cabin was a lot nicer than the one this trip. Desperately needs some updating, new beds and some of the kitchen wares. It doesn’t seem like the maintenance team does a very good job. Also, I saw some of the folks that work here a few times, no smile, wave or anything. We stayed mid-​week and at $ 500 for 3 nights, that’s overpriced.

Not that this place needs my good review, considering they’re booked up 2 months in advanced. But it is amazing. I took my wife and 2 year old up there for a vacation, and had an awesome time. We fished, played ping pong, rented a boat, played at the park, bbq’d and most importantly relaxed away from the Phoenix heat. The staff is extremely nice and down to earth, I loved going to the office to bother them with a question or getting something. The cabins are very cozy, kitchens a little outdated but still work, and are completely stocked with everything from pots/​pans to plates/​glasses. You literally just have to show up with a suitcase and fishing pole.
The only downside is the fishing, or lack of. If you go, bring stuff to bbq, or plan on going out to dinner. Don’t think your going to catch and grill up enough for a family. We fished from the boat, and every part of the shore and caught 3 fish, about 4 in long, with 3 days of fishing. And talking to the other residents, that’s all they caught as well. But that’s still fun for kids.
We’re already planning our 2^nd trip up there.

We stayed at this location a year ago and loved our stay. Quiet and very peaceful with a small private lake to enjoy. We enjoyed our stay so much that we have booked another vacation again this year… staying in the same cabin. Cabin 23 is right on the lake and far away from the highway. The furniture is outdated but the experience was one of the most relaxing experiences ever! Looking forward to returning next month!

Spent 4 days/​3 nights here recently and found it to be a wonderful experience. The «lake» is, at least to this Upstate NY’er, more of a pond. But that doesn’t mean it isn’t beautiful. It’s also private, so you won’t have to deal with anyone who isn’t staying at one of the numerous cabins.
Cabin styles range from almost shack-​like to extravagant multi-​family offerings. All seemed to have covered porches of some degree and fireplaces. We opted for a small and cozy cabin (#18). It was comprised of a living room/​kitchenette, a small bedroom, taken up completely by two beds and a small bathroom. Still, this was plenty of room! The only downside really I had with our cabin was that it was located next to what appeared to be the resorts «long term storage». This comprised of a compost pile, some fencing and other metal scraps, and an old and unused Chevy Suburban. Oh well…
The grounds of the resort are nestled nicely into an open stretch of pines. Just lovely and shaded. Besides the cabins and the lake, the grounds hold a cute little playground, a couple saunas, shuffleboard slabs, horseshoe pits and a rec room with a pool and ping-​pong tables.
There’s also wifi available, although it is spotty. Big deal, you’re on vacation to get away from those distractions, aren’t you?!
Boat rentals are also available – $ 4/​hour or $ 20/​day. Unless you want to head out to fish, I would recommend the hourly rate as the «lake» is not that big, and is easily explored in an hour.
Prices were really quite reasonable. The cost wasn’t much more than a decent hotel room, and for that you got an entire cabin. Certainly a deal in my book!
Staff were friendly and unobtrusive while still offereing help whenever necessary.
There were some issues with the place however. Our beds were incredibly soft. I’m used to an extra-​firm latex mattress, so maybe it isn’t that soft. But to me, it was somewhat rough to get comfortable. The other complaint is that the highway does run right beside the resort. For some cabins, you might not even hear the cars. But for many, including ours, it was a constant stream of traffic noise if you are out on the porch. Inside however, with the door closed, it is nice and quiet.

Very disappointed in this resort for the money! The bathrooms are disgusting with a tiny little mirror and no lighting. We had to go out and buy toiletries, linens and pillows. Furniture is threadbare and has a few cigarette holes. Kitchen is antique and refrigerator froze all our food. Deck has plastic furniture. It is dark, dingy and a shock for the money when you walk into the cabin! It rained and we had to walk through solid mud to get into our cabin. To get fresh towels you have to go to laundry to get yourself. There is dog poop all over the grassy area as visitors do not pick up after their pets. Worn out and very tired and over-​priced! Would NEVER return.

We stayed here as it was our 1^st trip to the Pinetop/​Lakeside region of Arizona. Lake of the Woods is an assortment of cabins by a small lake. Lets get something straight, these are cabins. Yes, furniture is outdated, appliances are not new, bathroom needs updating, spiderwebs abound and no flat screen TV’s here. But what you do get is a cabin RIGHT ON THE LAKE! If you go. .. bring your own pillows, sheets and towels. And BYOB and enjoy the beauty of the surroundings.

We spent a week here over Christmas Holiday. This is the 3^rd time I have stayed at these cabins.
Pros:
–The town is peaceful and quiet and in the winter the snow covered lake is really beautiful.
–The owners are very nice and friendly
–Lots of Hot water for showers and baths that never run out (there were 7 kids, 7 adults and we never had a complaint of running out of hot water)
–Close to stores to stock up the kitchen with food and easy to run out if we needed anything.
–Lots of Space
Cons:
–The beds are much harder than I am used to, probably to save from wear and make them last longer which is understandable but still not very comfortable to sleep in for a week. And the Pillows were flat like a pancake… Next time I’ll bring my own pillow.
–The Kitchen was stocked with appliances but they some were run down and broken and there was some items that we just didn’t have… there was 1 cookie sheet between the 2 cabins we stayed in which for 14 people when you are cooking something you need a cookie sheet for, it’s not enough. One of the coffee makers broke while we were there, but there was 3 between the 2 cabins so it wasn’t a huge deal.
I didn’t pay for the stay so I’m not sure on the cost but I know my mom mentioned it was quite expensive. Overall I would stay here again but would be open to checking out other cabins in the area as well.
