"A magical place in beautiful setting with unbelievable views. Lovely, charming staff and managers made everything easy and enjoyable. Excellent food with multiple choices and a tasting menu with wine pairings that was perfect each night, a great surprise given the small size of the lodge. Definitely one of my most memorable stays! Worthy of the cost."

"We celebrated an engagement at the Kāmana Lakehouse and honestly it se the tone for our whole trip. It was so lovely to come home to such a cozy and chic hotel. The fires roaring in the lobby, the views from the restaurant, it all made for a very warm experience. The staff were very friendly! We didn’t get to experience the soaking tubs because they were in high demand, so we suggest booking your soaks ahead of time!"

9.0 out of 10, Wonderful, (1010)
"LIKE: Beautiful setting, large mini suites. Very good meals and dinner menu selection. Cooked to order eggs are very well done. Pleasant and helpful staff. Need improvement: Breakfast hot choices from buffet service tend to be overcooked (scrambled eggs, potatoes and sausages). Breakfast croissants and pastries are not always fresh. Room cleaning is very satisfactory, however, tiled floor cleaning and touch points on doors and cabinets need regular cleaning. Decor needs updating. "
