From real guest reviews summarized by AI.6/10 Good
The room looked dated. The bed had a fluffy blanket and decoration pillows which seemed to me like they wouldn’t get washed after every stay. Better location having the lake and the yacht club in walking distance.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The room was beautiful and spacious, well furnished, clean, and comfortable. And with the lake just a few steps away, it was perfect. You won't go wrong booking to stay here.

Beautiful property
Cascades was the perfect lakefront stay - we had such a beautiful suite that they were kind enough to upgrade us to overlooking the lake. Absolutely stunning views and friendly staff to make it that much more enjoyable. We would definitely stay here again on our next trip!

Love that we can bring our pet..(though we did not bring our dog) but met another couple that had their dog.
We would stay at Cascades again.

Staff nice and friendly. Room comfortable. There was a very bad smell in our room when we returned from dinner. Husband tracked it down to something behind the fridge. That was the only unpleasant part of our stay

Lakeside motels with great management
This was a great motel to stay with our small dog as they have a few pet friendly units. The owners are so helpful and friendly and the units cleaned to a high standard. The units are a little older. They upgraded us to have a small courtyard which we appreciated as we were able to keep our bikes secure there. They are situated on the lakeside at 2 mile bay right beside the bike and walking trail. We found this to be an ideal location. The sailing club is 5 minutes walk away and a great place to get a drink and pizza. They are also dog friendly. We'd definitely highly recommend the Cascades Lakefront motels
