kateUnited StatesDated property, lovely lake setting
Setting right on the lake is lovely. It was surprisingly quiet given it is in a section of beach with hotels one right next to the other, and a busy road on one side. We slept with the windows open to hear the waves on…

Questions about Pinestead Reef Resort
What time is check-in and check-out at Pinestead Reef Resort?
Check-in is from 5:00 PM. Check-out is by 11:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does Pinestead Reef Resort allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at Pinestead Reef Resort?
Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.
Does Pinestead Reef Resort have a pool?
Yes — a pool is listed among the property's facilities. Seasonal closures are common, so we'll confirm it's open for your dates.
Does Pinestead Reef Resort have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Can I book a block of rooms at Pinestead Reef 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 Pinestead Reef 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 Pinestead Reef 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.
