What guests think
Somerset Lakeside Resort earns praise for its beautiful lakeside setting, peaceful atmosphere, friendly hands-on staff, and generally clean, comfortable rooms with rustic charm and some modern updates, plus waterfront amenities like a dock, swimming, and kayaks.
The on-site restaurant and breakfast receive positive feedback when open, though hours can depend on occupancy and have caught some guests by surprise. Guests also reported occasional facility and service hiccups, including BBQs or dock maintenance, an unlit campfire, and rare curt interactions, while a few rooms feel dated and some mattresses could be more comfortable. Expect a relaxed lakeside retreat with a rustic-modern mix in a scenic setting.
