What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“What a great place to stop at while camping at Scenic State Park! The staff is incredibly friendly and happy! The kids and my wife love to come for ice cream and to connect with local social life while camping at the edge of the wilderness at Scenic. Bait is excellent, supplies and groceries are great, clean and orderly! A fun place to connect and visit while up north! We came by 2-3 times for ice cream and supplies!”
“The staff at the store are very nice and helpful. Delicious ice cream cones!”
“Great for fishing and typical gas station but also has some great gifts and household items. We did not stay at the lodge, only went to the store”
“Liked the bar, wasn't old and musty. Nice price for the price. They went the extra mile with a nice clean room, microwave, fridge.”
“Great locally owned hotel with gorgeous views, comfortable, cozy rooms and amazing, friendly service. Attached store is a huge help being far from the next town/store.”
“Always gotta make a stop here when I'm in the area.”
“Food was excellent but the waitress was even better, would definitely go back when in the area.”
