All that would have been no big deal, but there is no way around biotoxin illness from mold. Everyone in the cabin left sick. We were offered a different cabin but they all stunk! The real kicker? I was offered $25 off my entire bill which is a slap in the face for what we endured. STAY AWAY from this pace for your health!

Kayaking, tubing, horseback riding and hiking are the way to go if you come down in this direction. Fishing is a little more difficult but if you look around you'll find a spot just right for you.

Other activities include tennis, shuffleboard, arcade room, mini-golf, fishing, floating, archery, and nice scenic areas for walking. This is a family owned business that started in 1949 and the owners are extremely friendly! They are very accepting of all ages and groups. I'd highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a new vacation spot.

The bedrooms would an adequately sized! The master had a whirlpool tub but that whirlpool tub was not very big. We actually did not use it. The toilet area in the master was rather small.

The couch was a pull out. The suite was able to sleep 6, but we only had 3 people. Regarding the pool..... it was great! The first day we went it was pretty cold so we didn't stay long. The second time we went was better! We played basket ball, putt putt, air hockey, ping pong, and billiards. The best part was that we reserved the private movie theater room on the rainiest day! We had such a great time and watched 2 movies back that day! The staff was thorough, helpful and kind! It was overall a great stay!

I've probably been there 10 times over the past 20 years. Prior to Echo Bluff being built, we stayed at various places in Eminence (Rivers Edge, various B&Bs). The accommodations were always Spartan and it was almost impossible to find any restaurants that offered anything more than "Fried something" or hamburgers. All that has changed with Echo Bluff State Park Lodge. The Lodge has accommodations that are orders of magnitude better than what can be found in Eminence and the on-site restaurant has really good food and a menu that is large enough that one could eat several different meals at the Lodge without having to repeat and entree. There is a beautiful creek behind the lodge (about 150 yards) that you can put your lawn chair in, sit back and enjoy the cool stream water and the absolutely gorgeous view of the Bluff.

Super clean and really nice place, I mean its still out there in the motel looking on the outside so at first wasn't expecting too much and was pleasantly surprised, the offer breakfast in the mornings as well which was pretty standard for a lot of motels. You know the usual sausage gravy and biscuits, eggs, toast fruit yogurt, and such. I well warn you the bed was not up to my standard of comfort though, it was a stiff one and wasn't the most comfortable for us, I guess its just not what were use too, it was ok as far as age and such it seem fairly new maybe a year old I guess, just a bit to hard for me. If your an outdoor person this is close to a lot of trails and other outdoor places to see, we loved the trails near by and had a nice time there. We were there during the :off season" so that probably had a lot to do with what it was nice to be there because there was hardly any traffic or people on the trails. I have never been to this part of Missouri before so It was a new experience for use. I will go back and probably stay at this location again and add my air mattress to the bed.
