Set on the edge of a peaceful lake, the rustic main lodge and cabins resemble buildings of days past. Many guest rooms open onto a common deck bordering the lake. Pets and children are allowed in cabins and the campground but not in the lodge.
Did not meet all AAA rating requirements for locking devices in some guest rooms at time of last evaluation on 06/06/2016. Facilities, services, and décor characterize a mid-scale property.
In Friday Harbor; 4 mi n via Second St, Guard St and Tucker Ave. 4313 Roche Harbor Rd 98250.

Pros: Breakfast set up and location and staff very nice. Serenity at the campsite, but i am sure that few campers this time of year contributed to that.
Cons: More light resources for canvas tent. perhaps i should have anticipated what i needed for back up better.

Pros: It was fun to have breakfast at the lake.Also a social event
Cons: I have stayed in luxury tented camps in Africa, that gave you far more value and luxury for your money.The fires were lit at night, by staff members.We had a central dining and sitting area to socialize in at night and morning8 with other campers/guests.All meals were included.You need to improve on the experience it has potential.But I was really disapointed with what we got for the amount of money we paid.

Pros: Nice and clean and very secluded and different....the small heater was a nice bonus, especially since we are approaching fall weather. Neva #6 is wonderful with the deck slightly over the water!
Cons: Exclusion of adults from lodge, who weren't staying in the lodge....I can understand the no kids part, but when I paid in excess of $250 per night, it would seem a good option for those of us adults renting the Neva Canvas Tents to be invited to enjoy the fireplace, deck and breakfast at the lodge if we cared to take the lodge up on the offer if extended.

Pros: The canvas cabins were gorgeous and so comfortable. The breakfast was wonderful with very personable staff hosts. The grounds of the resort were very nice with fun yard games and the resort grocery was great.
Cons: The manager was not helpful, and the location was very remote for travelers without a car (we walked on to the ferry to get there). They should better describe their location and available transportation in resort materials.

Pros: Gorgeous property!
Cons: We stayed in one of the "glamping" canvas tents. Closer restrooms- even porta potties- need to be provided. It was dangerous walking to and from the tents in the middle of the night!! Even with a flashlight, it was difficult to find which tent was ours, and it was a very long walk!! I was so bothered by the time I got back to our tent, that was difficult to get back to sleep. Prior to finalizing my booking, I tried to find on your website if there was a bathroom, and it was leading me to pictures only. Misleading, to say the least. There were pictures of both types of "glamping tents" with no differentiation. We heard the next morning, that this property used to have porta potties placed closer. Shame on you for making such an important human function, a nightmare. Hotel fees were on my final bill, just to add insult to injury. I rarely post or share negative comments. I can assure you, this will be shared.

Pros: Location and variety of things to do.
Cons: The reoccurring sound that started at 11:00 pm or 11:30pm and continued every 2-5 minutes until 7:00am. It was very disturbing and was not animal in nature. Probably won't be back because of it. You should probably hand out ear plugs to all of you guests.

Pros: The main room is inviting, cozy and attractive with water views and fireplace. Ditto the outside deck. Staff was pleasant. Would have taken kayak out with more time. Bedroom with deck was wonderful!
Cons: Breakfast was surprisingly mundane. Omelette was hard, tasteless. For $314 we expected a special meal, not a chain motel breakfast. Newspapers to read and leave would be appreciated. Bakery treats would also be nice. Much too ordinary a meal for the money.

Pros: loved the huge comfrey bed and heater in the tent. I thought the bundle of firewood and cozy toes hot water bottles were a fantastic touch. Great breakfast in mess tent. Beautiful view every morning, a real getaway.
Cons: We were next to a really noisy family with screaming young kids.They invited thier whole family (15) to supper from the campsites and yelled until the noise cutoff time at 10pm. I would have asked to move if we had stayed another night. This was not the fault of the resort, more the rudeness of our neighbours. It really spoilt our evenings and we so loved the place.

Pros: The Lakedale Resort was wonderful and is beautifully located inbetween several lakes. We had a spacious room with a great view over the water. The lodge was beautiful, with a nice common room and terrace. On the property several activities are offered, e.g., renting boats, fishing,... The staff is very friendly.
Cons: For the price we would have expected additional amenities like free water in the room or a larger choice of breakfast options.

Pros: The staff was very friendly, even with the short stay everyone was kind and reffered to by first name. Mary Anne made delicious omelettes in the morning and we were able to eat them on our own balcony overlooking the lake. We took advantage of the row boats on the lake, $10 an hour, free giant chess board, lots of fun things to do around what feels like a summer camp. We were one of the younger couples there , but treated very well. the location is a good point between Friday harbor and Roche harbor. Staying in the lodge had its perks over the clamping (breakfast, access to the lodge dvds, wine bar after hours) Will definitely be back.
Cons: Loved it all!
