We loved our stay here. The room was huge. The view was amazing. Everything was clean. The hotel was quiet and the bed was comfortable. It was a bit chilly when we were there so we didn’t get to enjoy the outdoors too much but this hotel would be perfect for the summer. I look forward to coming here again.

We had an absolutely amazing stay at the Tamarack Lodge. We are a family of four with two young kids and the room set up was so perfect for us. The room was huge, and I mean HUGE. The separate bedrooms and main living area gave us freedom as parents after the kids went to bed to relax and the balcony was perfect for watching the sunsets. Everything was impeccably clean every single day and the staff were so helpful and friendly. The lounge chairs and beach area were so convenient and our kids loved playing in the sand and looking for treasures along the beach. We highly recommend staying here for any family but it would also be such a great stay for a couple.

Great water view.

Great place to stay when you just want more than a hotel. It makes you feel like you at your own apartment or condo.

3rd time here, it's always great. The rooms are spectacular, and the facility is wonderful. Only downside is just 1 parking spot available per room - not good if you have visitors or a room full of adults.

The parking is extremely limited here. You're only allowed 1 parking spot per party. Additional parking is across the street behind a gas station. Very strange. Other than that is was great.

The property is beautiful! All the amenities in our room. We had room 104 the 2 bedroom suite. I am floored at the attention to detail. Everyone here is so friendly. Everything was clean & the views are amazing. I hope to be able to stay with our family during the summer. We will absolutely be back! What a Gem!
