Lake Hope Lodge - McArthur

We stayed at Laurel Lodge for two nights and had a wonderful experience. The lodge was spacious and spotless, accommodating our group of 20 comfortably. It featured eight bedrooms, which included six queen beds and eight single beds. The kitchen was designed for restaurant-style cooking, and there were also five bathrooms available. Additionally, there was a fantastic great room on both the upper and lower levels. Our family is looking forward to returning next year!

Every time we hope at sea we have to eat a few meals at the lodge. Always great! Last night I had smoked brisket, served as a sandwich on a roasted bread, with garlic Mayo... Perfect .. tonight, I had a wood fired oven pizza, loaded with cheese, small cup pepperoni, mushrooms and peppers. also perfectly recommend the entire restaurant.

The first time here and we were very impressed. Had a really good lunch at the main restaurant. Excellent! We definitely come back for a longer stay.

This restaurant consistently exceeds expectations. During my recent visit, I ordered the smoked brisket sandwich, accompanied by fries and cream of mushroom soup. The brisket was perfectly caramelized at the edges and melted delightfully in my mouth. The soup was surprisingly excellent; restaurant soups often disappoint, but this one was fantastic. The atmosphere and scenery are definitely worth the breezy drive to the mountaintop location.

If you are in the area, go to Lake Hope Lodge. The food is wonderfully prepared and so delicious! We had a variety of food on the menu and everything was fabulous! Anything with smoked meats is a must try, as well as the pizza. Due to social distancing, the restaurant itself was closed. We order togo, got a pager and sat out on the patio. The tables were sanitized between guests. The view was perfect.
