Thanks Scott! We are in a great location for area family reunions, class reunions, memorial luncheons. We have 13 rooms, expanding to 15 by the end of 2023. A very nice drive, stay, eat, play kindof place and area.

Thank You Jose. We've been very fortunate to be able to restore the Lakewood Lodge. Been at it for 10 years, and have a couple more to complete everything. It's the last remaining railroad inn that used to support the O&W Railroad, which ceased operations in 1957. With the rails and tressel bridges removed, we now sit on what we call Rails-toTrails!

Thank You Patty!

Thank You Pauline!

Thank you Colleen!

Thank You Andrew!

Sorry John. When I bumped into you in the lobby area I thought you were the late arrival that tried to get in. That's why I commented that you were early. I sent you upstairs thinking that. Sorry for that mistake.

Thank You Harris!

Thank You Barry!

Thank You!

Thank You Cassandre!

Thank You George!

Thanks Sophie!

Thank You, John. If you're ever in town on Sundays, we have a really nice breakfast buffet, from 8 to 11 AM.

Thanks John!

Thanks for participating in the Review Process. Unfortunately, this one is too vague to make any improvements upon. The room was updated to Country Inn standards.

Thanks for participating in the Review Process. It felt like what it is: Country Inn B&B. Full breakfast is included with each stay. On the weekends, during summer season, this includes our breakfast buffet that's open to hotel guests and the public. Like you were told you when you were here, no one was in your room and the windows were opened before your stay, while housekeeping was turning over the room. The A/C could have been on the "Economy" setting, which shuts its off when the desired temperature is achieved. Pet guests aren't well communicated on this platform. Only some of our rooms are pet friendly and that's not communicated well when we receive reservations from Expedia. We only know information about pets when the customer usually contacts us ahead of time. In your case, you stayed in what is normally not a pet friendly room. We also don't allow pets to be left in the room without owners present. That reinforces that nobody went into your room with 2 unsupervised pet dogs in there. We never would. Unfortunately, problems we are having with guests locking up their pet all day in a room is driving us very close to becoming pet unfriendly. My advise is that you call ahead when your bringing dogs at an inn or hotel, so there are no surprises..... Locking up pets in a room for hours is against our wishes and we don't knowingly allow it.

Thank You

Thank You

Sorry for your disappointment, Unfortunately, your review is anonymous so we don't know when or where you stayed, nor did you express any disappointments or concerns during your stay, or during our full breakfast that was included with your stay. The pictures do reflect what the property looks like because they are of the property! Guests do not have to go through our remodeled bar and restaurant to check-in The small lobby inside the front entrance is where guests get checked in. This is a historic country inn that, like most inns, does not have a front desk. Therefore we have a sound check-in process which allows any number of staff members to assist guests. Your claim of feeling unsafe is completely unfounded; sounds like more of where you are from than where you stayed. Nobody has to park on the side of any road. We have a large, illuminated parking lot directly in front of the Lodge, and we added an 11,000 s.f. illuminated rear parking lot last summer, to accommodate ATV and snowmobile trailers, and overflow parking for our busy restaurant and inn. If you stayed in either of rooms A, B or C, they are located on the west side of the Lodge and have private entrances with deadbolt locks. There are two parking spaces close to those rooms, which 99.9% of guests value for close to room parking, unloading, etc. All rooms have either deadbolts, or security latches on the inside. This claim of "no security lock on door" is completely untrue and invalid. Regarding a stray spider on the outside of the Lodge.....you were visiting the country and spiders outside are very common. We sweep and brush them away when we see them. The room did not smell and we have a dedicated housekeeping staff that cleans and sanitizes after each stay. All sheets are white, cleaned and bleached in our onsite laundry. This claim is also unfounded and untrue. You stayed in a safe Lodge that caters to its customers. You voiced no concerns to the innkeeper or any staff member during your stay. Using this fake review to justify not paying for it is, in my opinion, ridiculous and does nothing but causes undue injury to a small business. It will definitely be contested and will at least shed some light on who and where you stayed. This review adds no value to the review process we value when it helps our continuous improvement efforts. If you have a change of heart and would like to try to have a constructive discussion about any real concerns, you're welcome to call and ask for Jim.

Since you responded anonymously, we have no idea what room or nights you stayed. Assuming you enjoyed our included full breakfast, it would have been helpful to know what you feel is run down??? We've spent the last 7 years updating this historic Inn and always pursue additional improvements as we become aware of them. If you have a change of heart, and would like to share any details!, please call Lodge and ask for Jim. This review is not very helpful....

Thank you for your comments. You must've eaten dinner after the kitchen closed.....off our bar menu. We offer a very diverse dinner menu with Prime Rib, steaks, chops, seafood, stir fries and various chicken and veal sauté dishes, salads and flatbreads. The bar menu is our after hours menu and has great pizza, wings and other appetizers. Glad you enjoyed our full country breakfast. We are now 7 years into restoring this historic country inn B&B and if you are an ATV rider, hiker or biker, you might enjoy coming back during the warmer seasons. Free ATV and Snowmobile trailer parking onsite.

Thanks for your comments. The room isn't usually cold and we would have investigated further had you mentioned during your stay, or at breakfast. The Lodge is a 74 year old historic country inn with a single zone steam heat system. We usually are successful at keeping all rooms comfortable. We include portable heaters in all of our rooms that use steam heat, just in case guests aren't comfortable, or don't know how to shut off the steam radiator when too warm. We've had guests open windows because they were too warm. The water stain at the outside corner ceiling is a water leak we are working on repairing. It's a rubber roof with what I think is a seam leak. Unfortunately, its difficult to repair during wintertime. Had we not been sold out during your stay, we would have moved you to a different room.

Thank you for your kind comments. Some employees have claimed medical exemptions to wearing masks, as permitted in Pennsylvania. Employees that experience any of the listed COVID-19 symptoms are required to report it to us and we have them stay home. I've spend most of the last 7 years restoring this 74 year old country inn B&B and am proud to say this is the last surviving Lodge on the Pennsylvania portion of the old O&W Railroad, now a Rails-to-Trails system with over 200 miles of snowmobile trails, and over 30 miles of ATV trails. During the last several years we added a 1,000 s.f. outdoor dining pavilion, an 11,000 s.f. trailer parking lot, re-carpeted all rooms and hallways, repainted all rooms, installed new men's and women's restrooms in our restaurant. We just finished installing 48" wide showers in two more rooms, which now totals 4 remodeled baths in the main Lodge.

Thanks for your kind comments. Three of our rooms have private entrances and easy access to the Rails-to-Trails System, or our 15 acre open and wooded property, for walking dogs, riding mountain bikes, ATV's, snowmobiles. When available, the same is true for our Carriage House apartments.

Thanks for participating in the review process, Vinnie. Your comments about our room are disappointing, but we understand the heightened concerns some of our customers have over COVID-19. Unfortunately, you didn't discuss any of your concerns with me during breakfast, when I could have discussed in person. Our bedding and linens are changed after each stay. "Not being sold" that the sheets were changed is subjective, and a bit insulting considering the effort we put into it. Bed stiffness is a subjective, personal preference. Many customers have said they love the mattresses. I just asked the customer that stayed there last night and they said the beds were very comfortable. All AC units make noise and the one in your room was replaced within the last 2 years. Our room rates are competitive. A room with a full breakfast for $55 per person is definitely reasonable, but admittedly doesn't compare to sleeping on air pads in a tent! Thanks for staying and we're glad you enjoyed your meals.

Thanks Paul. Great to see you again, hope the fishing went well.

Thanks for your review and feedback. During the opening day of the antlered deer season we, in the past, served breakfast to deer hunters earlier. This year was the first year that opening day was moved from Monday to the Saturday after Thanksgiving. We actually experienced more hunters staying for the first weekend, when hunters with antlerless deer permits could harvest both sexes. If you visit us again next hunting season, its best to talk with the owner prior to your stay about early morning breakfast. With other hunters we've made arrangements for them to make and self serve coffee before 7:00, then eat breakfast later, or arrange an earlier breakfast. If we have a large enough group that wants breakfast before daybreak, we can do that, as we have in the past.

Thanks for your review and feedback. We brushed and cleaned pool table after receiving your comments. We are a 72 year old country inn that we've been remodeling for all of the 6+ years of our ownership. Very glad you enjoyed our full breakfast that's included with all room reservations!

Thanks for your feedback. Sorry we can't improve or reply to anything specific.

Thanks you for staying with us, you're welcome back anythime!

Thanks and come again!

Thanks for the feedback Karen. While the bathroom isn't attached directly to the room, it's next door and dedicated to this room. Last Winter we added bathrooms to the remaining rooms that didn't have them, leaving the room you stayed in with the one it has. So, the bathroom isn't shared. Sorry I didn't get to talk with you about it while you were here. For now, we are going to mark that bathroom door with the room number it belongs to. Thanks again!

Thanks for your kind comment about our outdoor dining pavilion. We added weather curtains earlier this year, which, with some heaters, we plan to host dining customers there during 3 seasons.

Thank You

Thanks for your comments and feedback. We have been having problems with the wireless access point you were trying to use. We are in the process of upgrading to one more suited to the data traffic we see during our busy Summer season. Not sure what room you stayed in, but we added bathrooms to rooms 7 and 8 this last winter. We are strong believers in continuous improvement and value constructive feedback like yours. Sorry for the inconvenience.
