So every year we do a family blue lake trip with my husband and 2 kids. And his father (and a few…read moreothers). His father puts it on and books our rooms for us which is super sweet. He's been here before, my husband and I have not. We came late July for 4 days/3 nights and the weather was perfect in the mid 80's. Water wasn't too cold. It's always windy there I feel like. We had a really wonderful time. We came to blue lake last August at a different campground and it was over100 degrees every day. This lodge was pretty cool. I've seen the negative reviews and I do understand where people are coming from. However the pros did outweigh the cons for us. Apparently there is new ownership. The two men who work there and that we encountered the time we were there were very nice, helpful and always around if we needed anything. Garbages were dumped every day , property seemed well maintained. We stayed in the suite with the full kitchen and futon in living room for the kids. It had AC which was very nice! I guess my only complaints was - 1) "beach" is definitely on the smaller side. wasn't really a problem for us though 2) the rooms were definitely not very clean. The floors were very nasty and I wouldn't let anyone in the family walk on them barefoot. The futon was fabric and yucky stains everywhere , everything in the kitchen felt sticky, walls were dirty, etc. But you can't really expect much since you're at a cabin at the lake. I just wish it had been a cleaner. Like floors should be vacuumed and mopped after every guest and it was very clear that they had not been for a very long time. 3) you have to pay to use their propane BBQs. I So we had our own little camping stove we brought and used. 4) definitely feels a bit overpriced for what you get here. Otherwise we had a wonderful stay. It was fun to jump and swim off the dock, we caught tons of bluegill and bass from the dock every day/night. The grassy area out front looking out in the lake was beautiful, great view. They had tables and chairs outside the rooms and on the grass. We brought a SUP and lots of floaties and was at the beach /in the water most the days They don't have any little store of sorts but there is one a short walk away they have some basic little things, ice cream etc. Overall we had an amazing trip with lovely memories made, we'll definitely plan to come back here again some day. We're doing pine acres next year but we do like both spots so may switch it up each year.

I skate a lot and have broad context to compare this place to. This is a gorgeous new rink, Lake…read moreCounty. When this rink went in we chomped at the bit to sk8 it and are not disappointed. Thank You for building this rink in lakeport!!!!!!! Gorgeous new smooth surface (do be aware that this is a small rink). Kept clean. They have skee ball (and an adorable little arcade space). I dislike the pvc pipe contraptions kids like to use to "learn" to skate here. They create dangerous conditions on the skate floor during open skate and I'm not convinced they really help people learn the balance points. Fewer of these, limiting their use to 30 minutes a person, only offering them for the first hour of a skate session or something, would be awesome. Some rinks use/offer these, some don't. This rink does. The skate fee is a bit high for folks who skate for athletics but seems right for recreation (ten bucks... this quickly becomes cost prohibitive for training volume visits but makes for a nice date night/family night). The staff here is rad. I've gotten consistent friendly treatment (from different folks over 3-4 spaced out visits). They hand out free skate passes when appropriate (a counter person missed the skates I brought once and accidentally charged a skates fee... was happy to hand me a pass. That's hospitality!) They "Up ticketed" me a few tickets so I could take home a plastic horse as my skee ball trophy. These are the kind of "nice perks" attitudes that keep people coming back. This seems like a fun place to work!

Our guide was wonderful and friendly, the horses were absolute gems, and overall this is one of the best trail ride experiences I've ever had. Getting the mountains, water, and some redwoods was fantastic! We were fortunate to be in a small group (us and two others). It made the ride feel more intimate. I rode El Negro and highly recommend. His gait is smooth! (He is a walking horse after all). My boyfriend rode Leslie who was a bit slow and liked to trail at the back but sure footed and a sweetheart. We ended the ride with a glass of wine overlooking the lake. This space is often use for weddings as well and I can absolutely see the appeal! I would love to go back some day!!

The counselors were fun and supportive. The activities were engaging. Thomas loved the food. This year he encouraged a friend from school to join him. That boy had a great time, and they both made new friends too. Thomas came back with greater confidence and displaying more independence too. We can't wait to get back the pictures he took with his disposable camera! What I love best, besides hearing the stories about him getting up early to care for the horses that he once found intimidating, was the call we received from Dawn mid-week. We weren't worried. We've had great experiences at Cloverleaf. We know the ratios of campers to counselors allows for attentive care. Still, the mid-week phone call telling us how his week was going just reinforced how much the staff really cares. For this reason, Cloverleaf will continue to be a Cremidis family tradition for many years to come. Next year, little brother will be old enough for residential camp and he's already making plans for how he'll spend his time.
