The Silver Rapids Lodge offers a unique location near beautiful lakes, ideal for outdoor activities. However, my experience was marred by poorly maintained facilities and unresponsive service, making it hard to fully enjoy my stay. While the environment is lovely, the old and worn-out rooms leave much to be desired.

My stay at Silver Rapids Lodge was a mix of positives and negatives. The attractions around the lodge, especially for fishing, were great. However, the accommodations have seen better days, and the service left much to be desired. Overall, it offers a decent value but isn't without its issues.

I had high hopes for Silver Rapids Lodge, situated right on the water, but my experience was less than ideal. While I appreciated the friendly staff and the great fishing opportunities, the overall condition of the facilities left much to be desired. The lodge certainly has its charming moments, but it feels neglected and in need of serious updates to provide a better guest experience.

Rooms

The cabin I stayed in was cozy but sadly not up to standard. It had a noticeable odor, and cleanliness was an issue, with stained carpets and dirty shelves.

Staying at Silver Rapids Lodge was quite the mixed bag. The location is stunning, right by the lakes and surrounded by natural beauty, making it perfect for outdoor activities. The staff members were friendly and eager to help, which was a nice touch. However, the rooms felt outdated and in need of serious renovation, and the facilities had some concerning aspects that held back the experience. Overall, the value for money is questionable given the room conditions and amenities offered.

I had a fantastic experience at the lodge, with stunning views and easy access to the lake that made our stay truly special. The cabins we stayed in were cozy and well-equipped, which made our time there comfortable. However, a few facilities could use some improvements, particularly the sound-proofing in the cabins. Overall, it was great value for the money and I would highly recommend it to anyone who's into outdoor activities.
