Red Lodge Resort

Came here for our 45th wedding anniversary. It was better than expected! There is no internet or tv but we werent expecting or needing it, so suitedcour needs completely! Staff is wonderful and the common fireplace is a great way to meet other guests and chat up. Everyone there was super friendly! Very close to the hiking trails too!

We stayed for two nights in the Hitchin' Post cottage which was nestled in the trees with views over the lake. The cottage was very pleasant to stay in, measured about 360 square feet and was well supplied with equipment but not with personal supplies. it was quiet and relaxing. The early mornings were chilly but an excellent fan heater soon warmed thing up. There was a shower but no tub, and no TV or internet. There is next to no illumination in the grounds which is wonderful for star watching but not so good for finding your way home on foot. Bring a flashlight. We dined at the in-house rustic restaurant both nights. The menu is enticing but the cooking is rather bland. The main courses are much too large and we negotiated smaller platters on the second night. Nevertheless, a major reason for choosing the Red Lodge was that it had a restaurant and we certainly didn't regret it. All the staff members that we met were a joy to talk to and were eager to make our visit a pleasant one.

Lodge is beautiful views on outside. Restaurant was very low end both service and food. Menu sounds terrific but was so bland we were all adding salt. No flavor at all. 5 of us had 5 different dishes. Creamy Garlic mash was flattened potatoes, no garlic, no cream just lumpy and bland. Lamb was lovely and tender but tasteless. Fish overcooked. One person like their chicken but all accompaniments tasteless. Roast potatoes rock hard and overcooked. Service felt like a diner. Sorry but not fine dining and never again.

We stayed in "Harbourview" cabin for 2 nights and "Motel #5" for 3 nights. Both were clean, comfortable and functional and just a few steps from the lake and lodge. The lake was cool and clear and we swam daily. We took some day trips to Little Current, M'Chigeeng, and Cup and Saucer hiking trail - all within 15-20 minute drives. Jean and Janet (and everyone) were great hosts but the dinners were the highlight of our trip. The wine list was good but the food was excellent and looked and tasted as it was prepared by an experienced chef - which we were not expecting at a small resort on the island. It was a bit of a hike to get there but well worth it and can't wait to go back next summer or perhaps even in the spring or fall.

This is a hidden gem. Everything about Red Lodge Resort is perfect: spotlessly clean, outdoor prierty beautifully maintained, incredible sunsets, fully equipped comfortable cabin….all combined to make this a spot to re on end highly!!

Red Lodge Resort is a nice get away on Lake Manitou! Beautifully located and western exposure! Hutchin Cabin has a pretty private setting! The beach / shore invites a morning dip!

Wonderful staff, great menu choices, dogs welcomed, activities for all ages. Scenic view and the water is clean and clear.

My father and I had the pleasure of staying at Red Lodge on our way to South Baynouth, On. Everything about Red Lodge was "spot on". Our room was super clean and well appointed. Dinner at the restaurant was excellent. The grounds and buildings are well kept. The setting is spectacular with beautiful views of Manitou Lake (largest freshwater lake on the largest freshwater island in the world). Entire staff was very friendly and wonderful.

I had a lovely stay at this resort. The staff and management were very accommodating and friendly. The dinner I had at their on-site restaurant was spectacular. Fresh lake trout with homemade chocolate cake for dessert. I will definitely go back for a serene stay at the Red Lodge Resort.
