Lodge At Chalk Hill

This is a cross between an old school motor lodge and a woodsy hotel. The owners are welcoming without using all those silly canned phrases that chains use
They are upgrading it right now-but my room was super clean and cozy.

My most recent stay was June 30 and July 1, 2023. My worksite is nearby so I've been staying there a couple nights per month since Feb 2023. Well I discovered I'd been bitten up by BED BUGS after lunch on July 2! I was lucky I hadnt been home yet and all my potentially infested stuff was in my car. So after working an 8 hour shift, driving 1 and a half hours home, it took me 4 hours to throw stuff away, bag up my clothes, windex everything that could be cleaned, washed and dried clothes 3 times on high heat, had wood in the car too, had to burn that. I left everything I couldnt clean but wanted to save, like a $200 pair of work boots, suitcase, etc in my car. Then I ran my car with heat on blast until I got temp above 118° for at least 2 hours. I had to miss work the next day because I was up until 4am trying to do all this.

Since I'd been a regular guest I assumed they would at least issue a refund. They refused to refund my money and completely deny they have bed bugs. They gave me the names of the exterminators they use and I spoke to one of them on the phone, very nice guy. He said he did treat some rooms there but not the one I stayed in. He also said my bite marks do sound like theyre from bed bugs. Everytime I spoke to the manager, Britney, she insists I was bitten by spiders or mosquitoes, but from the pictures you can clearly see its bed bug bites.

In addition to that, I have asked at least 3 times if they offer a weekly rate and they always say no. But a co worker who just arrived a week or 2 ago said they gave him a weekly rate of $375. Whats up with that?

Sadly I wont be able to stay at the lodge anymore because they refused to refund me and be honest about their pest procedures. I really enjoyed it until this happened. If you stay there be sure to check the mattress for bed bugs.

Stayed here for one night in shoulder season so we pretty much had the place to ourselves. It's a unique property--driving up, the rooms look more like mini cabanas. The fact that they each have a private deck overlooking a small lake reinforces this vibe. It's definitely not fancy but is clean and recently renovated. Mattresses are super comfy and our room had a microwave and half fridge. They also have a paved walking path on the property, which we enjoyed taking to our included continental breakfast, startling some grazing deer. Good location if you're in the area checking out Fallingwater, Ohio Pyle, or any of the other sites. We'd stay here again--definitely a good value if you are on a budget.

Stayed here after rafting in Ohiopyle. It was a last minute trip / decision so this was a last resort choice as we could find no other vacancies. I appreciated the fact they had a room for us, but the second we walked in the musty / moldy smell hit. The rooms are old & dated and fusty is the only way to describe it. Like the kind of bedspreads you don't really want to touch. We slept with the patio door open all night with the screen closed since the smell was awful when we closed the glass door. Thank goodness it was a coolish & nice night so we could do that. Breakfast was cereal, (rice krispies, raisin bran or cheerios), coffee and bread products and some bananas. It was sufficient to get us on the road. It had two double beds, my bf & I opted not to sleep with each other because we would have been mushed and slept separately. The deck out back was nice, we sat out there in the evening and enjoyed the weather and for a bit in the morning with some coffee.

This place will do in a pinch, but it's not great.

While the cost was very cheap and the employees we encountered were perfectly nice, I would chose to spend more and get more next time. The location is convenient to Fallingwater. You could call this place rustic, but it's more like outdated. Our room faced the pond but we couldn't lock our sliding door partway - what ever mechanism that used to be there was broken and the screen door was missing - so we had to sleep in a musty-smelling room for the long weekend. The AC worked great, though it didn't help with the smell. The linens, both bed and bath, were worn. The shampoo/body soap was so cheap I didn't feel clean after using it. The bathroom counter was a nice Pink Pearl granite but housekeeping needs training. The bathroom switch plate, that we had to touch each time we entered, was filthy! The wall between the sink and mirror needed a wipe down!!! Continental breakfast was limited. The landscaping and parking lot looked fine. They do accept dogs, for a fee.

The price was reasonable. The location was good for our visit to Falling Water. The property has about seven sets of several, connected, one-story cottages with one set reserved for pet owners. The grounds are well maintained and spacious, with the facility far enough from the road to cut a lot of the noise. Even our light sleeper had no issues. The room was clean and spacious. Management was friendly and accommodating. I did not notice any odors as others have reported.

The weather was good, so we were able to enjoy sitting on the room's deck while having our meals and walking our dog around the property.

It is clear that it was not built in the last few years, but i would definitely stay again.

The rooms are clean and comfortable. The ground a are very well kept. The deck on my room could use a paint job and I wish they could clean out right up next to the fishing pond. It has one of the best restaurants in the area just across the street and it's only a few minutes away from all the river stuff going on in Ohiopyle State Park. Best of all for me they allow dogs (with a fee). I was extremely satisfied with this place and will definitely be back.

We stayed here on our way to Ohiopyle. The buildings looked nice from the outside, they were like little cabins. Unfortunately, as soon as we walked in the room the musty smell was overwhelming. We opened the deck door and that helped. We didn't sleep with the screen door open since there was no back railing on the deck so anyone or anything could have come up. The price we paid was a little high for such an outdated room. It did have a large mini fridge. It served it's purpose but we would not stay here more than one night. All the employees we encountered were very nice.

We recently stayed here for a fall weekend. The rooms were clean, did have a closed smell but I carry air freshener with me so no big deal. I am allergic to mold so if there was mold I would of known. Beds were comfortable, TV's worked, the staff was polite and cordial, reasonable rate plus they allow pets for a fair upcharge. Continental breakfast was available, cereal, juice, coffee, toast, tea, bagels, butter & crème cheese,

Our group rented 5 rooms and all said the same thing. If people are looking for new, up scale then they should go down the street and pay $300 plus a night. Recently was in Nashville and had to stay at Red Roof, rate was higher, room was dirty and list goes on. So for the $ value this worked.

I was concerned of staying here after reading some of the reviews and called the winery and they assured me that it was ok and they were right. Some people have bad attitudes to begin with and have to high expectations. If you want a 5 star facility you have to pay for it and sometimes you still don't get it!

Everyone in our group was satisfied and since I set this up for them I was happy. The only thing I would recommend is to bring air freshener.

This is one of, if not the worst hotels/motels/hostels I have EVER stayed at. DO NOT STAY HERE! Very bad service, and rooms infested with Yellow Jacket wasps, and flys!

I arrived in the middle of the night during a snow storm. I had called ahead to make a reservation, but the woman at the front desk told me that there were rooms available tonight and I did not need to make a reservation. We arrived, she gave us a key to the room, and when we went into the room it was freezing. I mean literally. The temperature was around 32 degrees Fahrenheit; the heat was not turned on at all. NOT the worst of our troubles.

After we turned the heat on, and the room started warming up I noticed a yellow jacket on the wall. I killed it, no big deal. Then I found 2 more yellow jackets on the floor. All of a sudden, my dog whimpered in pain, then started acting very scared. Her tail was between her legs, she would not leave my side. I walked over to where she had been laying down and found 2 more yellow jackets. I realized she had been stung. I decided to put on my coat and take her out. As soon as I put my coat on, I was stung repeatedly in the arm by another yellow jacket that had crawled into my sleeve. My boyfriend then jumped out of the bed because there were yellow jackets crawling on his legs under the covers.

He called the front desk and the woman said that she had a can of raid that we could come get from the front desk if we wanted. Since we do not like spraying our room and bed down with toxic chemicals to sleep in, we asked if there was another solution. The woman told us that we could bring the keys up to the front desk, get a partial refund, and we could leave. Since we were basically in the middle of no where, in the middle of the night, during a snowstorm we were unable to leave to go sleep somewhere else. After much arguing, and being uncooperative, the woman finally agreed to give us a new room. My boyfriend went to the office to get a new key, and while he did, I counted 37 yellow jackets in the room that I could find.

The new room was also freezing, and the television did not work. But worst of all, this room was infested with flys. Since we figured that flys were a step up from wasps, we decided to stay in the room and deal with the issues in the morning. Morning came and we were eager to leave. We went to the front office. The man there said his boss was not working so there was nothing he could do. He gave us his boss's number and told us her schedule.

When I got home the next day, I called the boss, again she was not in the office, but I left a message. She called me back 3 days later and said that she could not give me the refund I thought I deserved because some of the money must go to cleaning costs. I told her that was unacceptable, and she told me she would talk to her manager and get back to me the next day. After calling everyday for over 2 weeks, I have still not heard back from her.

I would highly recommend not staying here. It was so terrible.
