The Lodge at Chalk Hill

This place had a lot of terrible reviews which was scary from an out of towner blindly booking but i’m so happy we took the chance! i’m assuming the bad reviews is because of the old owners because this was the perfect place to stay for our visit to Ohiopyle. The staff was super friendly, rooms were clean and deck was nice. Although it rained so we couldn’t enjoy the deck ☹️ Some things like the kitchen stuff was dingey and outdated but they are currently updating everything so i’m sure it’s on their list! We went to chalk hill market across the street for drinks and snacks, maywood grill for dinner and fuel coffee works for coffee in the morning. If we are ever back in the area we will definitely be staying here again!

Great location, property, and service. The rooms are very clean and the linens are fresh and so clean.

I do request that the cleaning staff stop leaving the door to the rooms open during cleaning because that allows bugs and moisture to get in which I observed. While riding through the property, empty room doors were open even when there was no one cleaning them. Perhaps add a screen to the sliding glass door of all units and leave that door open with the screen closed to allow fresh air in. Would also recommend some type of food or vending options.

None of these recommendations take away from this A1 establishment.

We stayed there with friends for a weekend getaway having side by side rooms. The back porches faced the lake and made it so nice to enjoy the evenings together. The area is well kept and has good walking options. Clean rooms at affordable prices can’t be beat! We will definitely stay again.

Affordable rates. Friendly service. Beautiful setting. Check in was simple. Great location that's very close to Ohiopyle and all the areas recreational activities.

The rooms are small, but new carpet and appear to be recently painted. They would be much more inviting with a modern update. There is definitely a need for more rooms with king beds, as currently most rooms are 2 full sized beds. The deck is spacious and a great amenity, but they need maintenance. The screen door on ours was broken and the deck stain was rather faded on all of them. No continental breakfast or vending on site.

However, the building exteriors have been recently updated with new paint & siding and metal roofing. The grounds also have recently improved landscaping and there is a small fire pit for all to share. The lake view is a highlight, request a room that offers one.

I can see the vision that the owners have for the property and I look forward to a future visit, after the renovations are fully completed.

We stopped because visibility in the rain was so bad. The desk clerk was friendly. The surroundings were lovely, and our rooms were safe—sliding door had a wood piece to prevent the door from being opened from the outside as well as a lock. Whoever cleans here deserves praise! Our rooms were very clean!
