Serene with much to do. A lounge open 24 hours for the convenience of the guests. You could wrap yourself in a blanket when sitting by the fire, have coffee all within a couple feet of the seating area. They pay attention to the detail of what would please people the most. My dog, well she was treated like gold by everyone who worked there. First place I ever stayed that truly made our dog feel very welcome… thank you.

The place is adorable. We got a beautiful cabin with a view of the woods and creek. It is dog friendly, has a restaurant on site, and does a nightly camp fire with s'more kits for sale in the vending machine. They even have their own resident dog Rocky. Coffee and tea supplied, games in the common area, and bbqs provided if you feel like cooking. Plenty of wineries up the road.

We recently stayed at the Lakeside Resort and rented a cabin with two queen beds. The cabin was clean and had comfortable beds. The property is beautiful and worth the walk to explore the trails. While we didn't have dinner at the bistro, the breakfast was wonderful. Overall, we loved this property and would definitely come back.

This property was about three miles from Watkins Glen. It was very convenient, close to town and all the wineries and other attractions. Our cabin was very well appointed with a full-sized refrigerator, cook top, K-cup coffee machine and microwave. The floors are poured concrete which was very clean. We had a clear view to the lake. The resort restaurant was very good. I would definitely stay here again.

The shower space is very tiny and horrible water pressure, I am only 5 feet 120pound and very hard taking shower in this bathroom. Also the bed sheets fabric are rough not comfortable at all. The towels are not clean at all lucky we brought our own towels. The service is nasty we asked change different room even don’t mind pay more money they still won't change for you. The rooms and the views definitely not as pictured. Never book this hotel again.

This is a nice facility with good central location for moving around the finger lakes region. My wife and I spent four nights at lakeside and especially liked its location for hiking the area's gorges and seeing other attractions. We stayed in one of the King Bed Cabins and it was nice. Strangely, while the cabin was spacious there were no closets or dressers to put your cloths in. We used a table from the patio and set up the ironing board to set our packing bags on so didn't have to root through our suit cases every time we wanted something. Also, renters should be aware that the tap water has a very strong odor (Sulfer/rotten egg|). There is filtered water available in the lounge area for those who prefer to drink that. Of course you still have to get by the smell when showering etc. Other than those caveats this is a good place to stay.

Everything about Lakeside was easy—check-in, parking, unpacking, having our dog with us, the on-site restaurant (delicious food!!!), and the well appointed chalet. Oh, and every person we encountered there was friendly and helpful. The view from our chalet was like a postcard, too.

The property is outstanding in its layout, well managed landscaping and cozy amenities such as a fire pit (already started by staff) surrounded by Adirondack chairs, indoor and a covered patio for dining (since it’s a dog friendly resort) and even a special doggie menu at the resort’s restaurant. The star employee has to be Rocky the black lab, who greets everyone as they arrive to check in or have a meal. The staff were 98% attentive, up to the last day when there was no one at the front desk to talk to. The wait staff just looked and ignored the woman who had been waiting at the desk first, she gave up and left. So I stepped up in line to see if anyone was going to address me, or at least tell me someone would be back in about X number of minutes. Nope, the two ladies I saw just glanced at me quickly then went into the kitchen area. I waited several minutes, then gave up also. All previous interactions had been fabulous, so I’m thinking these were new hires who didn’t know what to do. It will not prevent us from renting a cabin at Lake Side Resort in the future though.

We checked into the hotel at 3:30 PM, only to find that there was no power in the room. With my wife and two young children, this was immediately uncomfortable and concerning. I went to the front office and informed the staff that if the power wasn’t restored by 5:30 PM, we would not be able to stay. The employee assured me that they would notify the owner. Unfortunately, by 5:30 PM there was still no power. I went back to the front office, but it was already closed. I called the office phone and explained our situation again, hoping for some resolution. Instead, we were told to “go outside and explore other adventures,” even though we just wanted to rest after a long journey. At 5:45 PM, we made the decision to leave. I left a note for hotel management explaining our experience. It was extremely disappointing and inconvenient, especially with children. This lack of communication and customer care was unacceptable, and we will not be choosing this resort again in the future.
