4 day getaway
The resort is in a lovely location and we enjoyed the lake view and the breakfast was fantastic. We were somewhat concerned with the balcony railings. Very rotten wood and some banisters were falling out. The landscaping crew must be on vacation. So much work to be done.

Beautiful scenery
Had a very relaxing stay at the Ridges. Beautiful view of mountains and lake. Really enjoyed the fire and s’mores each night and meeting other guests there. We will return next year.

We were charged a resort fee for one night. Very small properly with exterior needing some TLC. On the lake which is nice but traffic from the road is distracting. The pool was closed. I do not understand the resort fee. Just another reason to charge guest more. Thank God my trip was only 1 night.

It is a nice property. Wonderful staff. We were worried we’d get an old tired smelly room, we got an old tired VERY CLEAN room. Bed was comfortable and new wall paper in the bathroom probably made a very big difference.
$330 per night was my biggest dislike in that I felt we got a /-$250 per night experience.
All in all 5 stars if it the price met the value.
