Outstanding! I had a Rueben with the sweet pepper coleslaw & both were delicious! Rueben had the right amount of dressing & the marbled bread was tasty. The Rueben was a bit soggy on the bottom side--probably sat a bit before delivered to my table. Friend's lunch plate was chicken salad on a croissant with a salad with the homemade ranch dressing. It was good as well. The accompanying broccoli soup was a bit "flour-ish" & just ok. Locals were enjoying this place so you know it's a good lunch restaurant. It's a lovely spot in an old time hotel!

They will go out of their way to accommodate any request as best they can. In fact, I feel it is more like staying with family rather than an impersonal hotel! The continental breakfast is as good as any, and I really like their coffee. They keep it well stocked. Last time we were there we used the conference room and we had no issues at all. Everything was exactly as I expected it to be! This is my favorite hotel to stay at and I am always excited when I get to go back! So if you have a chance, check them out! You won't be disappointed :)

However, the gentleman that were there that evening we showed up, seem to be very put out by the fact that we even arrived. They were not any more helpful in the morning. Breakfast was almost nonexistent and consisted of automated pancakes, an open container of milk shared among all the guests, and a limited selection of cereal. The toilet ran constantly until my father took the lid off and fixed the chain inside of it. The room itself was outdated with damaged walls and stained carpets. On the plus side they are pet friendly, and they do have two separate locations where you can plug in a vehicle or a boat. One has a regular wall outlet and slow charges, the other has a 110 and 240 outlet. Not sure what type of plug you need for the 240 outlet but it is not an Nema 1450. We were able to get a decent amount of charge off of the 110 outlet though. It also does not have the safety issues we encountered at the other pet friendly hotel in town the last time we were there. This location is in the middle of nowhere so if you have to stay here and have a pet or an EV, this is the lesser of 2 evils.

When I entered the room the AC was off on a 93 degree day, so I entered a sweltering room. When I checked the bathroom, the toilet paper roll only had a few sheets left on it, although there was a spare. The refrigerator was unplugged, so I couldn't store my leftovers in it. Worse of all is that there is that the locks on the doors are broken and the external entry ways aren't secured.

( rehearsal, rehearsal dinner, wedding party getting ready there, guest being able to stay on site. Probably 95% of the guest had never been to Rathbun Lake and was so impressed on how beautiful it was. Our guest stayed at hotel, cabins, & campground and everyone was happy. The staff couldn't have done a better job! Very knowledgeable on how everything should be run and I asked them lots of questions! They were right there to transport guest that needed help getting around. I could go on more about how happy and impressed we were but the bottom line for me, was how happy the bride & groom were. I definitely recommend a destination wedding at Honey Creek Resort.

I want to start out by saying this so-called "resort" is in a beautiful location--but…read moreunfortunately, it's run under poor management. Our group stayed two nights in two of their cabins. The cabins themselves were nice, but we had an issue with the AC in one of them. When we called for help, they sent out two high school kids who clearly had no idea how to fix an AC unit. They were friendly, but totally unqualified and ultimately not helpful. When you pay a resort fee, you expect more than what's offered here. The only included amenities were a small waterpark (which is only open from 3-7pm on weekdays) and beach access with paddle boards and a couple of canoes. Even those were poorly maintained--paddles floating in the water, and canoes with holes that were filled with water. No staff in sight to help. They also charge extra for things like a small train ride and paddle boats--$45 an hour for a paddle boat, which is outrageous on top of the resort fees. What was especially telling: for a summer weekend (and even into the weekday), the place was nearly empty. Aside from our group, the only people around were locals who live nearby and can pay to enter the small waterpark. It certainly didn't feel like a resort atmosphere--more like a quiet, neglected park with a few cabins sprinkled around. There are so many missed opportunities here. It would be great if they had a posted schedule of kids' activities at the main lodge, maybe played some music to liven the place up, and actually maintained things like the broken volleyball net. It felt like no one was really paying attention to the guest experience. Overall, the setting is beautiful, but the lack of management, poor maintenance, and underwhelming amenities made this stay frustrating and disappointing. I would not return or recommend this place unless major changes are made.
