The Lodge at Bass Lake offers casually sophisticated dining and lodging in the country atmosphere of Chardon. Guests can dine amid fireplaces or on a charming courtyard. The restaurant receives praise for its fabulous food, with specific recommendations for the veal schnitzel, duck, and French Onion soup. The menu offers great variety and prices, with specials described as spot on. However, some critiques note over-salted or disappointing dishes, a change to a purchasable bread board instead of complimentary bread, and a menu pricing format some find tacky. The adjacent Bass Lake Inn features twelve rooms, each with a fireplace, Jacuzzi, kitchenette, and balcony. Rooms are a great size, super clean, and peaceful, with comfortable beds and nice touches like bottled water. The staff is consistently highlighted as amazingly helpful, welcoming, warm, friendly, professional, and beyond kind. Their welcoming attitude greatly enhances the experience for both dining and overnight guests. The location is extremely close to downtown Chardon and convenient for larger gatherings, with first-floor rooms noted as perfect for families. While most reviews are highly positive, citing plans to return, one dissatisfied dining experience notes they will not be coming back.
Delightful place, friendly service, and delicious food! Great craft cocktails!
