Great Pines is a lovely resort that offers stunning natural surroundings and a peaceful atmosphere, making it a great place for unwinding. The rooms are updated and clean, contributing to a restful experience. However, I encountered some service issues, particularly at the front desk, which dampened my overall impression. While the dining options were enjoyable, there's room for improvement in communication, especially during events like weddings.

However, the breakfast selection was quite limited, which made dining elsewhere necessary. Overall, the experience was fulfilling, especially with the excellent dinner we enjoyed.

What a wonderful escape at Great Pines! I loved how cozy the lodge felt and the overall atmosphere was just perfect for a relaxing getaway. The food was delicious, especially their hearty breakfast and the evening fires were a cherry on top. While the continental breakfast was nice, it could have had a bit more variety. Also, we experienced a slight hiccup with the heating in our first room but were promptly upgraded, which was greatly appreciated.
