Top Red Sand Lake Hotel Reviews

Grand View Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Second year in a row at the Grandview Lodge.. it’s wonderful! Recharge, my batteries and everything about it was great. Stayed at the north hotel this time instead of a cabin due to needing smaller accommodations this visit. Great time!!! Wonderful people and staff."

Quarterdeck Resort & Restaurant

8/10 Good

"We stayed for 4 nights in the hotel area. The lake view is great, the room was clean, the food was very good, and the wait staff were friendly and punctual. If you bring a boat and rent a slip, make sure to bring bumpers. The ones on the dock can be crooked or even the pads are missing. This isn't a real big deal but for $50 a day, I think someone could check them and straighten or replace. I asked one of the employees how we get rid of our trash and they said just throw it outside the entrance to the building and it will get picked up. We went somewhere, returned about 4 hours later and there were 10 bags of trash by the door. Maybe put a box or some sort of trash container there. Looked "tacky.""

Causeway on Gull

8/10 Good

"When we arrived to check in we were notified by the staff that we’d have to change cabins the next day. They said it’s because the resort is a timeshare and the owner wants to use the cabin we’re staying in the next day. They said they’d move us to cabin 13. We asked why we couldn’t go to cabin 13 and they said because it’s not clean yet. I suspect that we were supposed to be in cabin 13 originally but they didn’t get it clean in time. This made our two night stay not so relaxing. We already had to navigate around some events we had to attend, and then we had to take the time to move into a second cabin the next day, including unloading and reloading the fridge. You’d think they would try to make up for this inconvenience, but no, they only offered to allow us to cancel our stay and find somewhere else to stay last minute."
