Weiss Lake Lodge

Weiss Lake Lodge

8/10 Good
"I love this place! This was my 2nd visit, with the first being a decade ago for a family reunion. It's going through some highly positive transition as of 8/2026 - my 2-night visit was punctuated by diligent roof-replacement workers. My advice in the short term is to bring a hair dryer (there are hair dryers in the rooms but their outlets don't work); and to either give up on the idea of ice or bring your own in a cooler. But these are minor and short-term annoyances. The big concern for most travelers is cleanliness, and Weiss Lake Lodge has this in spades! I prefer properties with room doors that open to fresh air rather than to long corridors, and Weiss Lake Lodge has that. Yes, some minor annoyances in August 2026, but those are short lived and that old motel is nothing short of timeless. Great stay, and highly helpful staff at a time that was highly stressful for them. Though staff were stressed with current conditions, EVERY one of them was helpful and courteous with guests. Great place to stay. I'll be back!"
