I was a local kid who worked my summer jobs cleaning cabins, then at the pool snack bar and then, finally, at the coveted lifeguard position at the two pools. All the "city kids" would come every summer and I had my "summer friends" when I wasn't in school. It was magical. I now live in San Diego and my children can't understand that magic so I try to compare it to movie, "Dirty Dancing." They are jealous. I don't blame them; Pine Grove in the 1980s was something out of a movie. Anyone who was there has endless stories about the place. I read someone on here say the new owners keep the local "riff raff" out... I don't know what that means but back when I was a local kid working there, the city kids and local kids loved meeting every summer. I hope that kind of kindness isn't lost on this generation.

I really didn't know what to make of Pine Grove Resort when I first encountered it, looking for…read morevenues to host a summer-camp-themed camping trip for my fiancee and a couple dozen of our friends. The reviews were sparse and mixed but the space looked beautiful online. I reached out directly by email to Joe, describing the type of event I wanted, and he was very responsive and helpful and generous. First of all, if you read nothing else, I have to rave about the infrastructure. Joe and the folks over there are really bright, mindful, and hardworking - and you can see from what they're building. The bathroom/shower complex near the campground is new and well built. A stone's throw away, the pool area is beautiful and clean, with a majestic lawn to run around on and great facilities. We rented the Mooncat Tiny House and the Glamping Tent and they are both cute, well proportioned, and well designed. The owners have beautiful things and great taste - we found the kitchen stocked with Japanese knives and Staub & Le Creuset cookware. They've cleverly set up mesh WiFi around the whole area that, while not reliable enough for Zoom calls, is impressive. I got a chuckle when a friend, sitting on a stump, asked me for the WiFi password. Even the structures that aren't new are taken care of; things are lived in and not luxury, but nothing is dilapidated. When I first got there, it took some time to get my bearings. The property is rather large (we never really did explore the east half of it) and there are a lot of structures, some inhabited and some available to rent. Folks of all stripes seem to live there at all times of year. I think the thing that first threw me off is you're never TRULY out of eyesight or earshot from someone, despite the woodsy environ. There's often the odd person or small group sitting on a porch, working on a project, hanging by the pool, or walking a dog - it's more like an unstructured neighborhood in the woods than a secluded campground. I soon met Joe and found him to be a helpful and well-meaning fellow. In time, folks in my group struck up conversations with the other folks around. Noah and one of the kids came to clean out the glamping tent for us and were very welcoming as well. Everyone was friendly and I came to realize this was a community of folks who had come here - perhaps some temporarily - to get away from the outside world and find some time and space for themselves. The attitude as I see it was rather healthy and positive. People there seem to be generous of mind and spirit. I was nervous that our group - 30-somethings drinking and floating in the pool, yelling and cursing at one another as we played games like spikeball and cornhole - would be an unwelcome nuisance, but the residents were really kind, accepting, and even fascinated by our antics. I would recommend Pine Grove highly to anyone, but mostly I think I've found a gem that I hope is around for years to come. I think when we all have young kids and want a place to spend a quiet weekend where they can explore, this will be our oasis. If you're reading this, thanks for being such great hosts, Joe, Noah, & everyone!

It's just regular people from the Bay Area escaping the madness for a little while, reconnecting with family and friends and enjoying a beer (or two...) It is as enjoyable as you make it. While there is a pool for adults and kiddos, bocce ball, tennis court, bbq area, swings and playground, there are also porches on each cabin, which is a key ingredient for us. Time spent on these porches growing up with family and friends have created memories that will last a lifetime, and I thank the Strickler family for every one.

I got off the phone earlier today with whom I think was "Joe", possibly the manager regarding my complaint over a dirty room (esp floors) and perhaps sheets that had dirt or maybe sand. The customer service was probably the worst I have experienced, including dealing with the French (no I'm not Francophobic, my wife is French and we go there a couple of times a year). After taking a morning shower I noticed dirt outside the shower and after walking back to my bed my feet were black from the dirty floor, yes black. I left early in the morning for a court case, before the managers were available at 10am. By noon yesterday I was driving back to Monterey. I only asked for an adjustment to the $11 surcharge for that room though a more reasonable accommodation should have been offered given the experience. The push-back was swift and unyielding - "you waited two days to inform us" (actually one day given that we were then driving for 4.5 hrs) and he indicated that we couldn't "prove it". We have stayed at Eagle & Rose Inn several times previously without issue and I am very disappointed over "Joe's" tone and lack of consideration, all over 11 bucks. As such I give this treatment and experience a big thumbs down. C'est la vie, as the French would say...

They are clearly understaffed, and the staff who are working have little to no training at all. I have worked in the hospitality industry for over 20 years and for this place to be awarded two key Michelin is not something I experienced while staying there. First off for almost $900 a night our room had paper thin walls, can hear the neighbors talking, snoring, and other sounds. There was mold in the grout of the showers, and our privacy curtain that was broken. They advertise deep soaking tubs and a spa like feel, but it's the complete opposite of that. All they had to offer was a small freezing cold pool and a cold hot tub. Unless you wanted to spend over $1,000 a night for a small "private hot tub" thats not at all private as there are rooms upstairs looking over onto the patio. The restaurant advertised free breakfast which was a small confusing menu. The "free" options where of pancakes, yogurt, and a tiny breakfast sandwich, which was just eggs. If you wanted anything extra, get ready to be charged for non quality food. The "Fresh Juice" was clearly store bought and not freshly pressed like they advertised. Clearly, the servers in the restaurant need help. Im pretty sure I witnessed someone walk out one morning. If you are looking for a place to relax with room service, basic needs such as lunch, drinks, or snacks, they do not offer it here. Which I found very surprising for a luxury hotel. Everything about this trip fell short. Which is really disappointing as the pictures and website advertise the opposite. For the price of the room, amenities and such is not worth it here.

I really like the way they decorated the interior. The registration desk looks like a log cabin, and there's a wood water tower sitting next to it. The gift shop had an old West feel to it too! There's a drink station with free soda and coffee, just behind the restrooms. I would have stayed longer, but it was really smokey inside. Yuck! Aside from that it was a good experience.

Sorry for using your race but since I didn't get her name, I'm wanted to make sure she got her appropriate complement. She was kind, helpful, and welcoming. Her recommendation to visit Grinder's Coffee was excellent, and her customer service made a great first impression. I stayed on the second floor near the highway and found the room clean, spacious, and comfortable. Amenities included a microwave, refrigerator, coffee maker, TV, and free guest coffee. The shower stood out for its strong water pressure and consistent hot water. The casino was less appealing to me, as it mainly featured slot machines with only a few table games and limited tables open. I was also disappointed that the UFC fights weren't shown at the bar despite the channel being available on the property. The Coke fountain drinks on-site were a nice touch. The snack bar exceeded expectations, especially the pizza, though I wasn't impressed with the restaurant. Overall, I enjoyed my stay and would return for the hotel accommodations if I am ever in Lake County.
