We decided to attend comedy night at Everrets and had an amazing dinner with calamari and epic burgers, topped off with Creme Brule cheesecake! The drinks were excellent. We then decided a stay cation was in order and stayed in one of their amazing rooms. The king size bed and balcony were super amenities and the mini kitchenette was cute. The rustic theme was beautiful! We will definitely have an adult weekend here again!!!
Resort is nice but late check in is unavailable unless you pre-arrange it. So if you come in at 10pm you will need to call them or else you are SOL. Rooms are clean but parking lot is pure ice sheet in winter so be extra careful.
Very nice upscale place to stay great bar. Great food. Very classy for me anyway.
Gorgeous view. Good food. Good service. We are local We didn’t stay at the hotel We ate at the restaurant
We had dinner there. Service was great. Food got mixed reviews
Room was very quaint, nicely appointed - had fridge, microwave, coffee maker and little kitchen area. Very quiet in March - hardly anyone there! Nice view of the lake although it was frozen, I'm sure it's gorgeous in the summer when you can kayak and paddleboard. Restaurant was right next door but was closed for 2 of the days I stayed so can't testify to their services. Can drive to stores and restaurants quickly. Would definitely stay again if back in the area.
My husband and I live just down the road, but felt like going somewhere, and we made the perfect choice. Dinner was fabulous. The room was adorable. The weather was perfect, the Northern Lights showed up. And when we couldn't sleep, we got up and went home. Who could ask for anything more, Staycations Rock!!
We visited the restaurant at Everett's and sat out on the deck since the weather was lovely. They sat our large group pretty quickly, and allowed our pups to sit out with us too. The waiter was great and got everything correct, even down to the check splitting. The food was really yummy too - the burgers looked amazing and the gouda fries were delicious. Our caesar salad was perfect for the hot day. The prices were a little spendy but comparable for the food quality. I'd definitely visit again.
