We are staying in the cabins and we are enjoying our stay. The beds are very comfortable. It is cold outside and so we have had a wonderful time relaxing and enjoying our 2 grandchildren and their parents inside. We feel this is a wonderful place to enjoy the simpler things in life. Why do people feel everything should be 5 star?

Overall I was pleasantly surprised as this lodge has gone thru some troubled years. Yes its rustic and older, but they have made some improvements such as new fridges and furniture, and the condo we stayed in was spotless.

Positives: Staff were friendly and dealt with a noise complaint swiftly. Also, I forgot a few expensive new clothing items which staff gladly searched for and put in safe keeping for me. The condo balconies look down to the beach, a short walk to beach and playground. A short drive to many family and sport activities.

Negatives: We could've used a few more kitchen towels. The walls are thin so if a bunch of loud jerks happen to be your neighbor you may be up all night.....however if you phone about it they'll be shut down or kicked out in a hurry.

If you think your life is awful just visit the cabins at madge lake. No honestly, me and my husband decided to call off our contemplated divorce after this trip because we realized that there are much worse things in life than him cheating on me and beating me every night. One of those things being these cabins at madge lake. I would rather spend a week consoling a cat lady who lost 800 of her cats in a house fire. I would rather give birth to a 76 pound child. I would rather throw babies at electric fences than ever stay at these cabins ever again.

Positives: The best part about these cabins was leaving. One of the best days of my life.

Negatives: I could write a small novel here. If you love mice and bedbugs this is the place for you

My general experience with Duck Mountain Lodge was very poor. The cabins were severely overpriced, messy, and in very poor condition. The fire pit area of the cabin was overgrown with nature and uncomfortable to be around. Dealing with the staff was also a nightmare at times. Many calls leading up to my stay and the email inquiries were unanswered and it felt as though the staff was not the least bit interested in my business. I would never recommend these accomodations.

Positives: The location of the cabins is great. It is located on a beautiful lake with many amnenities nearby.

Negatives: Cleanliness, quality, and price are very critical negatives but the most significant detriment to my stay was the service. It is in your best interest to stay away from these lodgings.

This lodge is a sham, way over-priced and very dirty. Also the whole hotel requires a complete makeover. Service in the restaurant and bar is very poor and the the food is not very appetizing.
Would not recommend this hotel at all and will never stay at it again.

Enjoyed the stay, except 2nd bedroom was still missing curtain from previous year and upon checking out, we were charged $179/night instead of $139, which was the rate when we booked ahead of time in December 2010. We feel this is a huge increase and we should have been notified ahead of time. Also, their website needs to updated with the change in rates.

Positives: Good location. The bed in our condo was comfortable, but not in the older condos. Staff did come to ask if we needed anything after had to go to the front desk the day before because did not receive extra towels or toilet paper.

Negatives: Unjustified price increase. Hot tub not working. No curtain in 2nd bedroom. We reserved for three nights, but staff only booked us for two nights. Luckily, it wasn't busy so nobody else was booked for the same condo on our last night!
