Me and my girlfriend had a great time here. It was nice and private. We had access to a game room while we stayed on the property. It had a pool table, air hockey table, Foosball table. Ping-pong table. Nice bar area. All this was in doors. It had some beautiful views. Great place over looking the lake. Access to a boat dock. Brought a Fishing pole. Didn't have luck catching a fish. But it was peaceful and we enjoy our getaway. It had a comfy king bed. Perfect for a couple or small family wanting to get out of the city and enjoy some quiet time. Definitely will be coming back for another trip to enjoy the views and water. The game room is awesome. Kids will love that too....

Needed to get away from the work life for a little bit. Found this gem. It was cozy and comfortable. Had everything we needed. Big bed, private area. Beautiful views, birds cripping. Nothing better then waking up to the great outdoors. We had a blast in the game room, shooting pool,playing air hockey,Foosball. Fully covered and air conditioning. The lake was a quick walk or drive down. Private boat dock. Jump right off into the water and swim around. The cabin was nice. Nice small kitchen. Updated appliances. Great fine. 👍
When I goto the mountains I love peace and quite. This cabin was really cute, loved the little kitchen, the loft were we slept was perfect. The view from the deck overlooking the lake was amazing. We enjoyed having our coffee in the morning sitting on the deck enjoying the mountain views. In the evening we enjoyed walking to the dock and watching the sunset. I love going to thrifting the towns close bye had allots of thrift stores. Really enjoyed the property will defiantly comp back. The owner was very helpful with things to do.
From the owner: "Thank you for your stay we look forward to your return"
We enjoyed our stay, away from busy life, away from news, social media and internet access. Just enjoyed the cool breeze of the wind, views of the lake and walking the hills and mountains.With the property. It is nice and cozy. Internet was down most of the time, can’t watch TV, can’t text or call, no extra beddings and blankets, no bathroom exhaust fan, clean but a little bit dusty. My biggest concern: what if there’s emergency, no signal and internet to call for help and don’t get there when it is dark if it’s your first time, it is scary to climb the mountain, there’s no light. Overall, it was good. Thank you

Hi Breneth, we take guest feedback seriously and passed your comments on to the homeowner who would like to share the following: I appreciate your family's visits to Chestnut Lake Lodge.
- In regards to the internet, it is limited to what's available in the mountains. I contacted Frontier and they did a software update that interfered with the connection - needless to say they never informed me that the update would cause outages. I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and appears after the update, the issue has been resolved.
- I agree traveling up the mountains at night get's dark and can understand that it is challenging if you're not familiar with the area.
- For added comfort, there is a mini split unit in each room for Heat/AC that can be adjusted.
I recognize the benefit of improving the home for a positive guest experience and will address your issue about the extra bedding and blankets with the property manager. On your next booking please contact me in advance I will offer you a 10% discount. Thanks again for your stay a Chestnut Lake Lodge.
