Amazing place. Jan and Mike, the owners, are the best. Cabins and yurts are so cozy and comfy. The restaurant is good. Great place to get away and relax!
I would have loved to review this place based on my stay with my wife but was never given a chance to do so. I had made online reservations and was contacted via email about my reservation. They stated that there was a 3 night stay minimum because of the holiday(Christmas). I had reserved Dec. 22 -24. A two night stay. Knowing it was a holiday weekend and usually establishments have certain rules on holiday stays I verified that Christmas was not on their list of 3 night minimum at the time of my reservation. I called them to tell them that Christmas was not on that list. I was still told that it would have to be a 3 night stay. I told them that my wife was handicapped and a 3 night stay would be too hard on my wife and would not be possible. I had reserved one of their Yurts because it is one level and it would have been perfect. Their cabins have lofts where the beds are located and too many steps for my wife to take to get to the beds. I was hoping that this would change their mind but they still wanted the 3 night minimum. They even said we have cabinsreally!!! Wife handicap stairs!!! So if you have physical challenges forget about this place, seems you would not be treated fairly.

This is a response to Emily’s comment:
I know that you require a three night stay on certain holidays. I have a screen capture of your website list and Christmas was not on that list as of Saturday morning when I called SRL about the reservation. I know the online reservations are not final, you did contact me, that’s why I called. I can email you the screen capture if you want me to. You can clearly see that Christmas was not listed among the other holiday, but it seems that you’ve corrected it because I see Christmas is listed now. As for the suggestion of the sleeper sofa, really would a sleeper sofa would be as comfortable as a king size bed. Shame on you trying to portray me as someone trying to bend the rules.
This place is pure Paradise! We stayed in cabin #2 known as the Cabin of Corks. You'll just have to stay there to figure out why! Luxury details and a fantastic restaurant with beautiful views if it's warm enough to sit outside. The only thing missing from this Eco Resort Hideaway are hot tubs! Not cheap but worth every penny.
So relaxing. Cabins are perfectly appointed and who doesn't like a light breakfast in a basket served on your front porch! Wonderful food!
I thought the food and service was good. We had a big group so they put us upstairs in our own private room which was very nice. We went out on the deck and watched the feeding of the deer. The only negative was the road coming into the restaurant. It is unpaved and has several pot holes.
It's been a few years since our last visit. I remember Savage River Lodge as being a top tier resort. This visit while nice and relaxing, showed signs of slippage. From basic maintenance issues such as loose steps on a stairway to main lodge as well as cabin #9. Screens with holes and unsecured, carpeting with nails uncovered. In general the overall appearance of the lodge and our cabin seemed in need of much TLC.
Our dinner was worth the trip, my wife ordered the pheasant, and I had the artic char. Very well prepared, and a nice wine selection.
The price did not match the value for over night accommodations.
Absolutely amazing place to get away. Beautiful, staff are great. Food is excellent. Huge beautiful fireplace, that you can sit and enjoy..
Anniversary gift from our children. Lunch and Dinner at the Lodge was much more than expected. Delicious!! Staff was super friendly. Cabin and Lodge well appointed and comfortable. Great experience. Plenty of trails for hikers and pets at this pet friendly destination.
Quiet, excluded atmosphere. Great food variety and quality.
Staff and owners were wonderful. Our luggage had to be delivered by the airlines at 3am, the owner drove all the way down to the main road to get them for us. We ate in the dining room twice and were very impressed with meals and service.
A Magical experience. We went for our 5 year wedding anniversary. The owners had a bottle of champagne waiting for us when we arrived. We stayed in a yurt and it was so luxurious. Lots of great hiking trails on the resort. Dinner at the lodge was delicious! Muffin delivery to your yurt in the morning was special for us. So relaxing and peaceful. There is no t.v. In the yurt and we took it a step further and decided to make it a no phone weekend. Best decision ever! We had to spend time and talk to each other :) We are usually campers instead of glampers but this was definitely worth the price tag. My only suggestion: someone at the front desk told me to dress up for dinner (my husband in khakis/ dress or dress pants for me) this did not end up being the case. We were a little more over dressed than most. It's definitely a more come as you are atmosphere. Jeans are fine. Check it out. So worth it.
We had a wonderful weekend here. It was so quiet and relaxing.
The lodge was really cool. The restaurant and service were top notch.
All of the staff were friendly.
It was so much fun staying in a yurt. Every morning they brought you a picnic basket with muffins, OJ, and cream for coffee.
Caters perfectly to those who love comfort and serenity! Their menu has options for the most discerning guest! (having gluten free and vegan options which are delicious!). Everybody will love it, including the choosiest of people!
