It is an absolutely beautiful property. The rooms are spacious and very clean. Really close to needing an update however. Also - the hallways smelled like sewage. Not sure what that was about. It would be amazing if that was taken care of.

The property was stunning. Everything was walkable including the cute town. We enjoyed golf (excellent fish fry and great golf course - glacier 9 was picturesque- even saw deer), walked to farmers market in town Sat morning. The lake was the clearest lake I’ve ever seen. Awesome sand beach for the kids and a bar and concession right there as well. If you walk down the path there are 2 more hotels and a cool tiki bar with live music outdoors. The Osthoff also had great music in the elk room. Also loved walking to the ice cream shop in town every night after dinner. Great Memorial Day weekend at the Osthoff - we will be back!!

Writing this review as im here. Checking in with Beth and Courtney at the front was amazing. Chuck in the Elk room was as well. Our room was spotless, and the bed is super comfy. The room description didn't mention a whirlpool tub. That is a very welcome surprise. Some construction was happening, but was easily forgettable with the service and atmosphere. Only downside was Otto was closed and Concourse menu didn't have what I was looking for.
