Sorry, we were unable to exceed all your expectations. I’m not sure how we could have improved your experience. However, I do feel the need to respond to some of your comments for others reading your review. After buying that perfect piece of lakeview property, we built the lodge 4 years ago to be a B&B so our focus was/is on guest comfort, safety, and satisfaction. The outside D-logs are 10+ inches thick and we insisted on a double wall between guestrooms. Wood floors and ceilings were also “insulated” to help with guest privacy. Room amenities were chosen from research findings, varied guests needs, and our vision of “rustic elegance”. We also have a big selection of common area and outside amenities listed on our website. We consider new amenities often and most are added without raising rates. Breakfast, a priority, is accurately described on our website and by most guest comments, well received. Room rates are based on cost, amenities, location, similar area properties, etc. Winter rates and other specials are chosen by the marketing director—she will not be getting any windfall bonuses (or even a salary) but I will be attending the March MO-KAN Bed and Breakfast Conference (by car not private jet). Check us out and if you value our amenities, lake view, and log structure, give us a chance to help make your stay a pleasure. And if it doesn’t look like we’ll meet your needs, we wish you well (and will even help) with the multitude of area lodging choices—or better yet, check out another BB-we all have our specialties and pricing.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at White River Lodge. The entire lodge was impeccably cleaned and both impressive and beautiful. Once we drove into the area, we were glad we had picked a place with a view of the lake. Our room (Couple's Cove) was spacious and comfortable. The beds made us want to buy a new mattress for our home!
Bill and Becky were perfectly hospitable, making us feel completely at home in their lodge. They graciously accomodated us when we needed to move our stay at the last minute due to a death in the family, even going beyond what we expected.
We took advantage of a special winter rate and wanted to find a place that would be great even in the end of February, but the temperatures ended up being in the high 60s, so that was especially nice.
Breakfast was always delicious and well-balanced - a great start to the day. A little more variety in the snacks would have been nice, but the refrigerator was always stocked and the pistachio cake that Becky made the day we arrived was amazing!
If I wanted to be really picky I could mention that with the wood structure and air vents, loud conversations could make their way around the lodge. It was never loud enough to disturb us in our room, but just enough to make it feel slightly less secluded.
All-in-all, it was a wonderful place to spend a weekend away from our busy lives. This was only the second B&B we have stayed in, the first being our honeymoon. View Reviewer Info

We're pleased you enjoyed the lodge and your room but are sorry you did not enjoy your dining experience. Being one of the B's in Bed and Breakfast, it's very important to us that our guests have a great morning meal. We do ask that guest inform us about any dietary restrictions and/or strong preferences they have with breakfast foods. I have even asked when taking a phone reservation, if they have any breakfast favorites. Many people now are watching more what they eat for their health and I understand their concern. We try to provide high quality (local if possible) ingredients, freshness, and choices in our food and drinks. Menus are posted and I've provided alternatives to guest that have approached me ahead of time with a concern. For instance my husband (also a food lover), does not care for Egg's Benedict because of the Hollandaise sauce so an easy substitute is a "kicked-up" egg Mcmuffin--same ingredients minus the sauce. For me personally, I enjoy new experiences (cooking and eating) with breakfast foods. Whatever the case, feel free to let me know (especially during our off season--like Jan.) if you have a special request for breakfast.
