We came down for two days and truly enjoyed our stay. We booked the Family Suite and were very impressed. The kids had bunk beds in an attached room that was part of the suite, with their own bathroom. They had their own TV. The WIFI worked well and the rooms were clean and up to date. It is a "rustic lodge" type decor, which really works. Furniture was not worn and the paint looked new. The master bathroom was beautiful and big; the kids' bathroom was average hotel size, but really nice and clean. We were impressed by the lodge itself. The walkway down to the lake and docks had clearly just been reconstructed, and was in great shape. We thoroughly enjoyed the restaurant, which only ever had one other table occupied. The workers were all friendly and helpful. The Lodge pool was gorgeous and clean. Due to COVID, we had to sign up for a time to swim (I think they limited it to 12 people in the pool area at once), but there were no other people swimming with us. The lodge is very close to the marina and we rented a pontoon boat for fishing as well as kayaks and canoes the day before. We thought it was very reasonable. All in all, we were extremely pleased, and are considering booking again this fall.

We stayed for two nights at this state owned lodge and enjoyed our stay immensely. It provides a rural get away from the confines of a COVID l9 and is delightfully non-commercial. It is a 2 hour drive from Columbus but there is almost no commercial development around the lodge. Note: bring your own supplies. Our room was clean and well maintained. It was large and had a very comfortable couch for TV viewing. The bathroom was also clean and up to date. The bed was very comfortable and provided a great nights sleep. The Wifi was free but moderately slow The dining room overlooks the lake. You can eat your pancakes while watching the boats scurry along the lake. No billboards or other signs of commerce. All in all it was a very restful and restorative venue for the weekend . But remember to bring your own entertainment.

For some fall hiking we had a midweek stay in a lake view room with an adjacent patio. The whole place exceeded our expectations. It seems that some upgrades have been done including paint, bedding, lamps with electrical outlets, and good quality room refrigerator. Bathroom was tiny however a second sink/vanity outside the bathroom was most welcome. Tub/shower area were very clean with no mildew. Lodge dining room provided very good food and service. Breakfast was a buffet that is usually chargeable but was included in a special room package we booked. We would visit again without question.

A crib was requested when booking online but when we arrived for check-in we were told there was none available. WiFi went offline and was not restored until the next morning. Restaurant service was slow despite being almost empty and the menu is very limited.
Overall, this hotel is very dated, facilities in disrepair (crumbling walkways), neglected landscaping, etc. The hotel is way overpriced for what you get, and our experience was very disappointing. I would not recommend the Burr Oak Lodge.

Disappointing. The lodge itself is the smallest of all the State Park Resort properties I've been to, which include 4 others. There is NOTHING to do inside other than the very crowded indoor pool. No game room, no table tennis, no board games, no movies (Maumee Bay does family movies nightly), no video games, not even a gym. The lodge views are pretty and the seating in the general area is comfortable but there is absolutely nowhere to plug a phone or computer in, not even on the walls - they should consider installing charging ports into chairs or through the floor. The fireplace was never going any of the 3 days I was there and only staff are allowed to tend to it.
We stayed in a cabin. Perhaps in the summer if you are out boating or partying all day and only want a room with 4 walls and a bed, it would be fine, but we were looking for a cozy, "cabin in the woods" getaway to relax with family and this wasn't great. The cabins are nearly completely bare other than bed linens and a couple dishtowels. Not even a sponge to wash dishes (required, and there is no dishwasher FYI), no salt and pepper, and bowls weren't even big enough to hold a can of soup. The furniture in the living room is probably the most uncomfortable furniture I've ever sat in. Impossible to relax even though we balled the bed blankets up and tried to make pillows out of them. The shower doesn't even have a single shelf on which to set soap or shampoo, you have to put everything on the shower floor. Shower head not adjustable and sprays right in your face if you are short. Also the hot water quit working a couple days into our stay. When I say stripped down I mean stripped down - you would need to bring everything in your whole house/kitchen to be able to make it habitable for more than crashing for sleep.
Pluses: it was very quiet as it's extremely remote (roads there are very winding and hilly - my kid got car sick). The heat was very responsive, and the roads were kept clear even during a bad storm. Sorry, but I won't be back to this property.

Came for a one night stay to enjoy the lodge and outdoors. We were delighted to know we we’re basically the only guests that night aside from those in the cabins. We felt like the whole place was ours. The pool is very big and we got to swim twice with it to ourselves. Booked the King Executive room, which was nice having extra space. Ate dinner in the restaurant with only two other tables and a few at the bar. Hiking trails were nice and so was the new walkway to the lake with seating/fire pit areas.
The lodge is over 50 years old now and seems like there are still some original parts.
Our room although overall clean has old school HVAC and windows that crank open. Cold air and wood burning smoke from the cabins got in and we could smell it all night…worse when the floor unit sucked in air from the outside whenever the heat came on. The bathroom was freezing cold because heat never got into to it. The ceiling air vent needs a good cleaning as does some black around the shower.
The pool room was out of towels and housekeeping never picked up the used towels our entire stay. The clock on the wall didn’t work and neither did some ceiling lights. The roof leaks.
The management is clearly not working to their full potential. The pool was advertised to open at 7am everyday. We got up early walked all the way to the pool and the door was locked. The guy at the front said he couldn’t help and we need to wait for the real front desk staff at 8am. Returned after 8am to be told they don’t open the pool until 9am, but was unaware the maintenance guy already opened it. We were also not told at check in that their restaurant had a VERY limited menu due to an electric mishap. We found out from the waitress. It was already late and nowhere nearby to go so we got food we wouldn’t have ordered normally. They offer free coffee in the lobby until 11am. But it’s easier to drink with cups. No cups…and staff who seem content sitting around oblivious to what they could be doing to make the stay better. We even heard a maintenance guy complaining about his job saying “I really need to quit.”
The place is really cool but it needs better staff and some attention to upkeep.

We stopped by Burr Oak and toured the lodge and had dinner there. The lodge has a beautiful setting over looking a lake. The lodge has 37 rooms and 25 cabins. The rooms are clean, well decorated. The whole facility is clean and looks new. The indoor pool area is great. Many opportunities to enjoy hiking, fishing and boating. The marina rents different types of boats...pontoon, kayaking & fishing boats. For dinner we ate at the lodge restaurant. We started with the cheese and pretzels. Nice and warm served with a white cheese. They were great. My son had the Burr Oak burger and homemade chips...he liked it and said it was good. My wife had the veggie burger with coleslaw. She liked it too. I had beer-battered fish with a dinner salad and coleslaw. It was good but I didn't care for the slaw. The service was good. Nothing fancy here. Looked like they offer a full bar too.

The staff and service at the customer service desk in the lobby as well as the restaurant was excellent. Food was excellent in the restaurant too. I rented a suite with a patio. The room was a good size, but it was rather dark in the room and one of the bathrooms was outdated. The room needed to be brightened up with lighter color paint on the walls, brighter lights in the room, etc. Overall, though, the room was clean, there were no bugs even though it the abutts the woods, etc. I do feel that at nearly $300 a night after all the fees and taxes (including various beautification and visitor fees and the like), regardless that it was a weekend in summer, was quite steep. I could see if the room was state of the art, up-to-date, etc. But it just wasn't. It was about $75 over priced, I believe for what you get.

I was looking for a place to unwind after a long three or four months. With my wife being away, I decided to try Burr Oak Lodge. Utilizing the “Savvy Senior” discount, I was able to enjoy three quiet and quite lovely days. While the lodge is dated, the staff and the setting can’t be beat. I had a standard King overlooking the lake. While the room is a bit small, it was perfect for my needs. The presence of a microwave and refrigerator was great. The bed was comfortable and the bed linens were great. The towels could have been a tad bit better. I was able to go on two very long and beautiful hikes as the weather was ok for two of the days. While one trail was a bit muddy, it was doable and delightful. The restaurant has a ,I tied number of options for a vegetarian, but once again the servers were accommodating and helpful. I was planning to use the pool, but I didn’t actually find the pool to be so inviting. I am sure for families it would have been fine. All in all-given the rates I paid and the scenery was able to take in—the Lodge gets a 5 star. I am not sure that normal room rates would neccesarily get a 5 star rating.

Remembered staying here with my parents, brother, grandma, and great aunt when I was young and wanted to try it again. The location is great for nature, but the lodge and rooms could definitely use some updating.
The rooms are dark, the bathroom is small, but the views from the great room and restaurant are beautiful. The food was good, but at least we were told when we sat down that they only had one cook so it would be awhile.
Only stayed one night and left early the next day so didn't get to explore too much.

Hello there.
Burr Oak does not have a "game room" per say, but we do have a great selection of family oriented board games in the loft above the main lobby. Thanks for asking!
Hello-
Outside of sales tax, bed tax, and the state park beautification fee, we have no other fees. (We don't charge extra for pets)
Please give me a call so that we can talk through the charges your referring to.
Looking forward to hearing from you soon!
