This area has the nicest people around. Everyone was so kind and made for a wonderful day trip. It’s best to confirm the trails are groomed for cross country if that’s what you want to do. With the massive amount of snow. Over 5 feet in 2 days it would have been impossible. But snowshoeing was a great alternative and very reasonable. We had a nice sand-which and very delicious coffee at the market afterward.

My family and friends (four other families) rented the Richardson House and had such a great time.

My family and friends (four other families) rented the Richardson House and had such a great time. The house felt cozy and welcoming, and we loved that the living room was separate from the kitchen, it made hanging out together much more comfortable. The only small drawbacks were that the downstairs bedroom was pretty cold since the heater didn't reach it well, the basement door didn't lock (which was a little creepy), and the sliding door used to close off the living room was broken, so it couldn’t be closed at night but nothing that took away from the overall experience. We had a total of 12 kids, and this place was absolutely perfect for them. Having the entire backyard to ourselves was a huge win, it turned into an amazing powder-snow playground. The location was also ideal, with a short walk to the lake and a nearby restaurant. Overall, it was exactly what we were looking for and a fantastic spot for a fun group getaway.

Wonderful stay! The hotel is very clean, cozy, and beautifully preserved. It’s a historic property from the 1800s with a lot of charm and character. The grounds are lovely, and the staff are incredibly kind and welcoming. This hotel made our vacation truly special — we couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay.

I booked this hotel through Orbitz, and the policy clearly stated I had one day to cancel without penalty. When I tried to cancel within that time, the hotel refused. The manager was aggressively trying to squeeze money out of guests instead of honoring their own policy. Be aware of this place — I absolutely do not recommend it

Came to Camp Richardson for a fun winter vacation in early January 2025. We stayed in their hotel, which is within walking distance of the beach(which is within the property).

Came to Camp Richardson for a fun winter vacation in early January 2025. We stayed in their hotel, which is within walking distance of the beach(which is within the property). Location overall is just a few minutes from town, which was convenient. While we were there we got hit with a winter storm, since the room access is from indoors (from within the hotel itself), it was nice not to track in snow with our shoes when we came back from our ventures. There's free parking on the property for guests, when you check in they give you a parking pass for your vehicle. The room we stayed in was a cute 1 bed 1 bath (bonus points for having a full length mirror by the bathroom). It was perfect for us since we were mainly exploring and out in town for the majority of our stay. Would definitely be back.
