This was a very nice/clean/quaint/safe place to stay.||The check-in staff member was nice, courteous, sincere and professional when we checked in and made us aware of the food/facility services available.||Note...the price ($129.99+taxes) was very fair/economical for the area but still a little out of our target trip budget range (i.e. $80-$100.00) - not a complaint...just a note for people like us...retired and from the deep south. I also want/need to note that we were in that area during their peak season (August) and that most of the chain motels/hotels were priced at $200.00 plus.||If you're looking for a NCSRE (Nice-Clean-Safe-Reasonably Economical) place to stay in that area, then this could/would be the place for you.

And in my opinion this is one of the most comfortable beds I've ever slept on. I just traveled from Colorado to Maine a 5-day trip and stayed in many motels and many of them, we're missing towels or soaps or some kind of something but this room and for the price has everything. If you're looking for an inexpensive clean place to stay weather for the fishing the scenery, or you're working on your home and you need a place to stay temporarily until your place is fixed up come here to Lakeside you won't...
Read moreWe stayed at Lakeside Motel & Cabins March 2017 and have booked to stay again in March 2018. This is a older style motel but the rooms were clean and comfortable. Most of the beds are double beds and we ended up paying extra to get the adjoining room beside use. The one bathroom (shower only) was very small so paying extra for a full-size tub/shower and kitchenette was worth it. The view from the back is lovely and they connected us with someone to take us ice fishing. It was great! They supplied all the equipment and we caught 5 pike. The owners are very nice and treat you like family and live on site so are accessible for any issues. The cabins look nice but are not available during the winter months. Another plus is...
