Burr Oak State Park Lodge

Peaceful winter weekendMy husband and I decided to stay here for a relaxing weekend and it did not disappoint. We started our journey at the nature center and met Julie. She gave us great advice on hiking trails and restaurants in the area. We proceeded to the lodge to check into our room. The lodge is older but well maintained. It has a beautiful lobby with large windows to overlook the lake. Lots of seating areas, games to play and a fireplace. Our room was huge. It had a bedroom and living room area plus two bathrooms. The lodge has everything you need if you don't want to leave - pool, restaurant, exercise room, hiking trails, etc. Plus the best part we practically had the place to ourselves!

I was nervous going to Burr Oak State Park Lodge after Ohio's Deer Creek State Lodge, but this lodge was a huge improvement! This is much nicer! It is a bit dated, but not terrible. Compared to Deer Creek State Lodge, this is vastly better! It was quiet, peaceful, and serene. The rooms and beds are very comfortable and clean. Room air conditioning worked great, and the bed appeared to be new. I checked the whole mattress, no bed bugs. The carpets looked a little worn, but again, Deer Creek was so so much worse. I did not see any trash anywhere, this was an extremely clean Lodge/facility. The heated swimming pool was nice, with towels guests could use. Lots of outdoor spaces. The food at Burr Oak Lodge was excellent! Expect to spend about $16-$20 per person, per meal. Food was good. All the Burr Oak staff were extremely nice and helpful! I have no complaints about Burr Oak Lodge! Only 4 starts instead of 5 stars simply due to slightly outdated ambiance and decor.

4 stars because there's always room for improvement That said, VERY nice lodge & all.The only "complaintant" I have is that the AC in the Dining Room is too chilly for me. Throw on a light-weight sweatshirt and you'll be fine.

I have stayed at all of the Ohio State Lodges. I have enjoyed them ALL until coming upon this one. This was the worst and an embarrassment to our state. First, upon arrival our DELUXE cabin was dirty. We needed to clean it to use it. The bucket we were provided was cracked except for 2 inches at the bottom and the mop should have been thrown away years ago. The screened in porch was so full of dirt that we needed to sweep it prior to mopping. We ended up with over a dustpan of dirt. The top of the fridge had not been cleaned for a long time. The full size bed at the head went to the floor. It ended up it was missing a support board. To get out of the bed the person had to climb at the end or over the other person. We requested towels, as we were only provided with 2 sets for 6 people, and 24 hours later we drove to the lodge to get them. The linens were a fitted sheet on the bed and another fitted sheet to cover with. There were NO blankets provided. We were provided with a thin comforter. We were provided with no tissues and needed to use TP as tissues. The indoor pool was closed. Upon check in we were told the beach was down the path next to the lodge. There was no beach down the path by the lodge, it was a boat dock. The pictures on the website should be updated. If you look at the pictures there is a nice mini golf and tennis court. However, when you are there the pristine mini golf is overrun with weeds as high as your hip. The tennis court has last falls leaves on it and garbage. For example, there was a Gatorade bottle left on the court so long that the top bright orange cap had turned a light orange almost white color. We were offered a refund of 1 night from the manager. UPDATE: Upon speaking to the GM we were refunded a second night and they are updating the cabins.

My boyfriend and decided we needed an escape from the city life...so we ventured here. The lodge is set back in the park so it's a little drive to get to. The lodge is a little older and kinda needs remodeling. There is a restaurant/bar in the lodge. There is an indoor pool but no hot tub. The rooms are simple, but bring your own pillow (theirs are flat) and bring a blanket (if freeze baby like me) the sheets are thin. We ate dinner in the lodge and the service was friendly but slow. We ordered a dozen wings (half BBQ and half buffalo). The wings were really good but they listed them as "jumbo" and they were on the small size. For main course he ordered the buckeye burger with fries. He said it was okay nothing special (he eats a lot of burgers). I ordered the veggie burger with their homemade chips. I thought that the burger was good but nothing I would do a kart wheel to go back for. I also ordered a hot chocolate and that was fantastic. It's a nice get away here to bring the family.

Stayed in cabin number 10 this weekend and it was spectacular! This will be my "go to" for now on. Thank you!

Family and I spent a weekend here but it left us disappointed. The remodel and interior is excellent, the rooms were clean and good size. The issue becomes logistics:1. There is no easy way to get to a walking path. You have to drive your car to the closest trail.2. The mini golf was unattended. The yard games were scattered and people just grabbed what they could. 3. Restaurant closed at 10pm on a Saturday night. The bar was nice but getting waited on was a slow.4. The lake had boat rentals but you could only go 10mph...If they could relocate this nice lodge to Hueston Woods, then you're onto something! Hueston Woods lacks a remodeled lodge but they do everything else right.

The place could use a few upgrades, but wow the staff are so nice and helpful, especially in the restaurant.

Buffet sucks $24.95 and you get hamburger and hot dog? On top of that they were cold , bread was stale very disappointed! And stuck with that because they dont do regular menu when they have buffet . 1 star is very generous!

Been a few years since last visited. Very, very worn, tired looking. Check in at 5 pm. Restaurant closes at 8. So hurried to eat. Had a cup of coffee in Lobby. Then to room to unpack. Booked a family suite. Realized the tub was dirty and had hair in it. Had to use the shower stall in other bathroom. But, hair stuck in drain. At 9pm moved to room in other wing. Guess what... dirt balls on floor behind door and dried dirt spots in entry and master bathroom floor. Very disappointed. Never again.
