A group of us stayed at this motel for a friend’s birthday. We planned on renting a boat, and spending the day on the lake. The night we got here, we were harassed twice by the night clerk for hanging out by the lake in front of our room. The next day, we were approached by the day clerk who... More

Our family are young adults now. Going to Chelan is relaxing for us and sun and fun for the guys. Having a full kitchen stocked for them to come and go as they please works for us. The room was great for a beautiful view of the lake all day. The room we had doesn't have a t.v. or seperate... More

If you've seen the Travel Channel's series HOTEL IMPOSSIBLE...then you have an idea of what's about to come. Darnell's would be an excellent Hotel to profile on that series. There's nothing that can't be overcome here...it's just a matter of finding a managerial staff that can turn this property around! First impressions are the hardest one's to overcome! Upon entering... More

Unfortunately, everyplace else was booked the weekend we were in Chelan. Beginning with the positive, Darnell's is very clean. Our rooms were clean and the grounds were well kept. Location...great. But, this property is in great need of updating. It would definitely be a one star. Quite antiquated. Not very comfortable. Pool was supposed to be heated but it was... More

Based upon reviews here, I decided to book a quick trip to experience some summer warmth before August. Reviews claimed it was great for families with children, and we were not disappointed! It's still early in the season, and booked mid-week, so we basically had the resort to ourselves. Two rooms, plus fully stocked kitchenettes (with dishwasher!) and full table... More

My wife and I spent a night at Darnell's Resort in September. We had a room on top floor with great views to the lake. The room was very clean and the bed was very comfortable. The shower was tiny indeed, but we didn't care for that. The room décor was simple, but pleasant and not kitsch. The Resort has... More

I just returned from a totally relaxing 3 days at Darnells and can say that I am very happy that the Raines Family is once again in charge! They have upgraded the grounds along with the rooms and you will find the staff at the Resort are extremely friendly and accomodating as we had several conversations with them and even... More
