This place is so desperate for business that they made us pay for the 2-night minimum even though we decided to check out after one night. Yes, the policy is clearly posted on their website. But the Lake was so gross and stinky and the place so boring we couldn’t bear a second night. The locals we met in town... more

I can't think of anything new to say that isn't what everyone else has said. This is a very clean, well run motel/resort destination on the lake. I needed a place to go for a quick weekend away and this fit the bill. My husband was able to launch his boat and fish and I was able to chill at... more

Everyone who works at Ferndale Resort makes you feel right at home. If you're looking for a relaxing getaway this is the place to stay. The food and the staff at Watercolor Restaurant are top notch! **Bass Fishermen** If you are coming to fish Clear Lake, they have their own launch ramp, the docks are well lit at night and... more

A group of friends planned a fishing trip to clear Lake. We were reccomended Ferndale Resort and Marina and were not disappointed. the service was fantastic and the use of the boat launch and mooring site for our boat was fantastic. If planning a fishing trip and want a clean pace to stay I highly reccomend. more

Just returned from 3 nites at tne resort. Part of a group of 9 that had 5 units adjacent to each other. The trailer unit needs some tlc. The 4 motel rooms were clean and roomy. The "Watercolor" restaurant on site and the Italian restaurant nearby both had outstanding food and service. The paddle wheel boat "Clear Lake Queen" is... more

We have spent a considerable amount of time at Ferndale Resort & Marina lately. We found them when we were looking to rent a boat to fish on Clear Lake. They have the most convenient and reasonable boat rentals on the lake. The boat was in great shape and the owners/staff were extremely friendly and helpful. We were so impressed... more

This is a motorlodge type of motel - cars parked in front of motel rooms. There are a few trailers being used as cabins also available. The best part of this motel and reason that I would stay here again was the restaurant "Watercolor", which is located on the premises. The menu and quality of food was something I would... more

I have to say we did not stay at this resort, but friend did and we visited them. A really really nice place on the lake! Soon, the wonderful restaurant, Watercolors, will move to the large paddle wheel boat. This restaurant has the BEST food in the county. We have lived close by for quite a while and are so... more

Ferndale provides very basic motel-type rooms -- relatively new and completely clean -- with windows that open out onto a lovely, unobstructed view of Clear Lake (well, across the parking lot). Once we arrived, we saw that Ferndale also has separate "cabins" (mobile home-type construction), but none were available for the weekend we visited. Note that our bathroom did not... more
