Fodor's Expert Review Suttle Lodge

The hospitality company behind the hip Ace Hotel Portland reopened this lakefront resort in 2016 after an extensive renovation, enhancing the whimsical charm of the grand light-flooded lodge and rustic cabins. The understated lodge rooms have a minimalist decor, but their dark blue walls can feel grim and oppressive on an overcast day. A new craft cocktail bar in the Great Room and a full-service waterfront restaurant cater to a trendy urban crowd. Guests can rent standup paddleboards, canoes, kayaks, and rowboats in the summer and snowshoes in the winter.
