Great viewsClean cabinOverall satisfactory stay
AbramGreat views of the lake and mountains!
KellyOver all the cabin was what i expected. The only issue was that the bed was at a slant and for me that made sleeping difficult. The cabin was clean and easy to check in. Overall a great stay.
Verified travelerWonderful spot- no breakfast though
We had a lovely stay over all. We were disappointed and surprised that the restaurant is not open for breakfast. And, the shower curtain in Tamarack needs to be replaced. Other than that, we loved it!
SarahThis was disappointing. There is no air conditioning - it was very stuffy and hot. They are focused on motor boats - you can't really get anywhere interesting from here on a canoe. There's a restaurant and bar but prices…

AviadGot there - no staff available- the first room was on the middle of renovations- had to ask the girl from the restaurant that don’t work in the hotel to help me- another room was dirty with old bed sheets- so they moved…

What we’d check for you here

- That the step-free room is actually free on your dates, and whether it is a roll-in shower or a bath, which the listing never says.

- Whether the rate moves for your dates, and what it includes.
- What the property actually charges at the desk on top of the rate.
Questions about Ampersand Bay Resort
What time is check-in and check-out at Ampersand Bay Resort?
Check-in is from 3:00 PM. Check-out is by 10:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does Ampersand Bay Resort allow pets?
Yes — the property states that pets are allowed. Size, number and fee are set by the property rather than by us, so say you're bringing a pet when you book and we'll confirm the terms before anything is charged.
Is there parking at Ampersand Bay Resort?
Parking is listed among the property's facilities. Whether it's free and whether a space can be reserved varies, so we check it against your dates rather than promise it here.
Can I book a block of rooms at Ampersand Bay Resort?
The property lists meeting and banquet space, which usually means it handles group business — but how many rooms it will hold at once, for how long, and at what rate are set case by case and are not in any feed. Tell us the dates and the number of rooms and we'll get those terms from the property in writing before anything is charged.
Does Ampersand Bay Resort have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
How do I book Ampersand Bay Resort?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
