“The cabins are fully stocked with every conceivable utensil that you're going to need to cook whatever you came to enjoy. The owner was very kind and helpful, and The view and the amenities made it well worth the money spent! A beautiful place to spend time with your family and get away from the stress of everyday life. I would strongly recommend this to anyone needing some family time.”

“We stayed in the main house, in the overnight suite called the Amish room. Tight fit in the room, and the bathroom would be far better with a pocket door, towel hooks, and a towel bar lowered for hand towel use. Mattress was comfortable enough but synthetic sheets were too uncomfortable and hot so I would bring my own cotton sheets next time. TV needs to be wall mounted to allow for more practical use of the space, and there definitely should be two swing-arm wall lamps mounted above the bed. The little 40W lamp was useless. Refrigerator and microwave were out in the hall and had to be shared with other guests. We could hear snoring from the next room so would strongly suggest that a thickly-padded headboard be installed on the wall to reduce noise from opposite side of the wall. Communications with owner and cleaning person were very pleasant and effective. The cost for our impromptu stay in mid-July was very reasonable and the location was satisfactory so we would stay again if in the area.”

“We enjoyed our weekend experience at Palmer Lake Lodges. Our cabin was clean and comfortable. The lake views were beautiful and the gathering areas were well kept. The stand-out at this property is the hospitality from the property managers. We were warmly welcomed during our stay, they clearly want the guests to have an enjoyable experience.”

“My parents and my toddler stayed at Palmer Lake Lodges last month and it was such a great time. I really liked the grounds and how they were set up. It's right on the lake which is awesome and even has a little cafe just a few steps away. The owners were very accommodating when we needed anything. The cabin was clean and comfy and I liked that they had a private picnic table outside of our cabin which was nice to have the option to eat inside or outside. My son had the greatest time - between playing in the sand volleyball area, on the swing, watching the boats and having ice cream at the cafe I think he had a smile on his face the whole time. Great place to stay for a little getaway.”

“Perfect for anyone looking to recharge, reconnect with nature, and enjoy a little enchantment. The cabins are not only cozy and inviting but also incredibly well-managed. Everything is clean, thoughtfully prepared, and well-equipped with cooking supplies and other essentials, so you’ll feel right at home. It’s clear that the team behind this place takes pride in making your stay seamless. Looking forward to visiting in the summer to try out the jet skis, boats, and check out Magic Week, but a winter stay has its own unique charm. It’s been the Walden Pond-esque getaway I’ve been looking for...waking up to the peaceful stillness of the frozen lake, sipping coffee in a beautifully renovated cabin with farmhouse vibes, stargazing in a sky free of city lights, and taking a much-needed break from my fast-paced life in LA. Learning a card trick or two (because, you can’t leave the magic capital without mastering some sleight of hand). ;)”
