Golden Pond Cabins

What guests think

Golden Pond Cabins is widely praised for very clean, newly built cabins and a quiet, wooded setting that works well as a base for Salmon River fishing and snowmobile trails.

Rooms feel modern but basic, with comfortable beds yet minimal furnishings or counter space noted in several reviews. Service is commonly described as friendly and accommodating, though a few guests reported management lapses such as an unstaffed office. Breakfast feedback ranges from a simple continental option to very limited or unavailable service on some mornings. Expect a no-frills base for outdoor-focused trips.

Tim is a wonderful host! He is very friendly and accommodating. The rooms were exceptionally clean. The windows give you plenty of privacy during the day while the curtains are drawn letting in natural light. They have a fire pit and even supply wood for it. If you have no interest in building a fire there is also a propane one on the property surrounded with the comforts of patio furniture. Although it is located off the main road, it is very peaceful and welcoming. There is a laundry facility, a place to store your prizes from fishing, and a propane grill to cook up any food you'd like. It is not a pet friendly hotel HOWEVER there is a boarding house just down the road if traveling with your fur babies. We've stayed on two different occasions and 110% will return. To be honest I didn't want to write this review because deep down I wanted to keep this hidden gem to ourselves. This is a prime location to stay whether fishing, four-wheeling or snowmobiling as it is located conveniently on the trails.

Lovely property, new construction with modern design. Ten minutes drive to Salmon River Falls Unique Area. Bonus: The site had a firepit and a shed of split and seasoned firewood, free of charge for guests! Bring your own newspaper/kindling/matches for bonfire, or there is a dollar store just a few minutes away to get these things.

The location was nice. New building. When I checked in I was charged a extra fee of 86 dollars that I was not notified about. After check in we went into town. When we came back there were people tailgating in front of our cabin being very loud late at night and early in the morning. No soap in soap or shower dispenser when checking in but was taken care of. Floors were very dirty and dusty. There was a random footprint at the front door. Hand soap dispenser was leaking and tried to tell the office at 9am but was locked up with no one there. Ad says breakfast included but only before 9am and only coffee. Beds very comfortable and the blankets were nice along with the air conditioner. Felt like we had very little privacy. Stayed for our anniversary and was a very poor stay. Will not be coming back....

The cabin was clean, spacious and fairly new. The host was friendly and helpful. We stayed one night during a long trip so we hoped for something comparable to it hotel room. But there was not enough furniture in the room. Suitcases had to go on the floor. Breakfast was a very basic continental style missing several very key items. The bathroom has no counter space so we had to make do using the top of the toilet. This is a nice, quiet, secluded place. It's comfortable and clean, but if you expected hotel like accommodations you will be disappointed.

The property was pretty new and so it was well maintained and clean. The staff was nice and thank you for extending the checkout time; which was orginally10am and too early. The materials used in the cabin and quality was poor and we 're afraid of using them to avoid breaking/damaging as they seems fragile. Overall a nice place to stay for a night or two and i recommend.

This was a very last minute reservation. We were in town and our overnight plans were upended due to a burglary where we intended to stay. While having dinner I found Golden Pond Cabins and called around 8p looking for accomodations for the night. Turns out they had an opening and within 30 mins texted me back to let me know they had our room cleaned, prepped and the key was in the room waiting for us. What a huge relief! When we got there the room was spotless and that's saying a lot as my wife (and me) are clean freaks when it comes to hotels/motels. Very modern, new construction and just enough amenities to make our stay extremely pleasant. The owner turned an otherwise awful day into a relaxing restful evening. My wife and I are so very appreciative. So if cleanliness, convenience, and customer focus are important to you? This is the place. I will definitely consider staying again when I'm in the area!

We were the only guests at the entire facility. The front desk staff informed us that the kitchen was under renovation, so no breakfast was available despite being advertised. After showing us to our room, the staff member left the premises. Outside, about 30 feet from our unit’s front door, an outdoor table was littered with leftovers from a previous picnic—two pieces of watermelon and a plate of meat, rotting and swarming with flies. Concerned about safety, I tried to book another hotel. The place was clearly mismanaged.
