We had another relaxing 2 night stay at the Gateway Lodge. We have stayed here several times over the years, always with a good experience. If you book a room, you need to be aware there are several VERY small rooms in the original lodge part, some with shared bath. The huge addition where we always stay has quite a... More

We just returned from our 2nd visit to the Gateway Lodge. Last year we stayed only one night ,which wasn't long enough, so we returned this January for 3 nights. This time we brought friends. Jackie treated us like family with warmth and good humor! We really enjoyed the Friday night wine reception and I enjoyed the complimentary chair massage... More

We have now gone to the Gateway Lodge three times in the last 1 ½-2 years, this last time during the Christmas season. It is our go-to place when we need to get away from the rat race for awhile and just relax. The rooms are spacious and functional; it’s a rustic lodge, not a 5 star hotel, so the... More

Instead of buying jewelry, clothes, or other "stuff" for Christmas, our gift to each other was to get away for a few days. A friend suggested Gateway Lodge. From the moment we were welcomed at the front desk by Jackie,aka Wilson, we knew we made the perfect choice! Jackie escorted us to our beautiful room & reminded us of the... More

The lodge was decorated for Christmas and was absolutely gorgeous. Our room was cozy and very romantic. We had amazing meals -- both dinner and breakfast. The staff was so friendly and helpful. We loved this place so much we are already planning another trip here. We encountered only one small disappointment -- the lodge includes a daily tip for... More

We love this place! We come here for peace and relaxation and coziness! The great room is beautiful and very inviting. The rooms are spacious with beautiful views. The staff is extremely accomodating and the food is delicious. Every time we have been here, we look forward to our next return. Check out time comes way too soon for me!... More

We traveled here for a special Winter package that included a dinner and breakfasts. This lodge is an absolute stand-out treasure in Cook Forest. There's nothing like it in the surrounding area. Hiking was great and nature was plentiful. The lodge itself is very nice with a spa, great fireplace, decorated quite nicely and comfortable rooms with a fireplace. We... More

Rustic, quaint, cozy, a perfect romantic getaway. All log construction makes it feel totally woodsy but with all the modern conveniences. The suites had huge king beds with jacuzzi next to a gas fireplace. Views of trees and woods outside. Quiet, relaxing, sitting in the greatroom with log burning fireplace. Helpful and friendly staff serving wine and cheese on Friday... More

The hotel was beautiful,and quaint. The breakfast was amazing and fresh. The room was relaxing and beautiful. The dinner on the other hand was less than average. It was cold. When I returned it the plate came out with the food so hot I burnt my mouth after hearing the microwave beeping. It had obviously been stuck in the microwave.... More
