I would say that the reviews on Expedia for this place were totally misleading. I was expecting cabin/rustic, but clean based on the reviews. The people working there are nice and welcoming, but our room left a lot to be desired. I understand the rustic look they are going for, but the bathroom tub, toilet and sink were dirty. Bathroom was soiled, tub had hair in it. Sink had brown stains from makeup, someone’s hair sticking on the hair dryer. Also, there was some sort of chemical rubber like smell coming from the bathroom that was unbearable. They charge big city prices - we paid over $600 for two nights. The idea of the lodge is pretty nice, but this place is just not maintained or cleaned well. We will try another place next time we visit Holiday World.

Washer/dryers in working condition and available 24 hours. The staff was courteous. The place itself is outdated. I would not say 20-30 year furniture is/feels clean. Visibly the room was clean but the old rug and furniture feel and smell stale. The breakfast was good but the large food trays were not covered and there were a few flies.

It was close to Holiday World which made it convenient. However, it was disappointing that we had one soap for the sink, that we had to share in the shower. No lid for the toilet set close to the tub was awkward. We booked a room for 3, 2 children and 1 adult, yet only 2 bath towels were provided. The smart TV was a challenge. We couldnt get it to connect initially. We spoke with the front desk who tried to help, but basically told us the wifi wasnt good in this town. We did eventually figure out how to connect to wifi...overall, it was an average experience.

We had such an amazing stay here. Our daughter loved the option of having an indoor and outdoor pool. The front lobby is decorated beautifully with Christmas decorations. The breakfast was delicious and we liked how it was served until 10 am. Can't wait to stay here in the future !

Upon check-in, we quickly realized this lodge was not a good value for the price purchased. We entered the room and looked around to gauge cleanliness we quickly spotted the sheets on one of the beds was very dirty. It was not just a stain. It was crusty. We had booked through Expedia. The representatives from Expedia tried to speaking to the front desk on our behalf however, the manager at Santa’s Lodge refused a refund. We quickly left and never looked back. It was worth losing our $350 because we were not comfortable sleeping there. So not only was it gross they also refused the refund. I would give it an overall zero stars if I could.

First timers but would stay again

Stayed in a family suite. Water and shower were hot. Room is dated but very clean. Beds we’re comfortable. Breakfast lady was a pleasure to talk to and breakfast area was kept very clean. Coffee was good. Would stay there again.
