Beautiful view of Bay from room/balcony. Loved the coffee bar and cookies. The place was gorgeous.

We had a comfortable stay-a couple small suggestions that may help future guests. In room plastic cups were very cheap, would suggest Glass for a hotel as nice as yours. Also to use the TV you had to create an account with samsung which could be a challenge for some guests. There were no directions on how to control the TV and the front desk did not know.

This was one of my most favorite places that I have visited. I can’t wait to go back again. The staff was absolutely amazing and so friendly. The room was very clean. We were there during some heavy snowfall and they were out there constantly snow plowing the parking lot so that we were able to get in and out.

Another great stay at Tamarack Lodge. The staff are awesome. There were some noisy adolescents with less than adequate parental supervision staying in the building, we reported it to the desk staff, and they spoke to the parents and took care of it. Maintenance is great. We had a tub stopper that wasn't functioning properly, maintenance came and replaced it the same day.
