Defiance House Lodge

Tesaira was super sweet! Made our first time dining there amazing and food was awesome and prices are great. Would definitely recommend!

Pamela and Sherry were superb. Wonderful hosts, seamless checking and guest service. They also helped me when I had a tech issue!! Thank you. The family units are very spacious 3 bedrooms and have had a nice facelift. Comfy beds! Very convenient location. Very relaxing trip. Great for kids and family’s

Great place! Highly recommend. Met Mike on the dock. He was super helpful and very knowledgeable about the lake. Thanks for all your help. Pamela was working the checkin and was super helpful and nice! The campground was great and the lake was amazing!! Beautiful views and tons of fun!

I have had a lot of burgers in my life, but this definitely made the top three list! I can’t thank my server Tesaira enough for recommending the burger! The sauce alone just made it so Oh so heavenly. And the service was just so friendly, warm, funny! Highly recommend!!

Defiance Lodge is clean and comfortable. It is rustic and needs a bit of a facelift, but overall, it's better than a lot of motels we've stayed in. The staff is accommodating. There is no Wi-Fi in the rooms, but when you're getting ready to 'camp on the lake,' who needs it anyway? There is Wi-Fi in the lobby for those who just have to have access to the Internet. Phone service is intermittent at best. Once you're on the lake, remember that unless you are in sight of Navajo Mountain, you won't be calling anyone or receiving any calls. We always stay here the night before leaving on the houseboat. Sometimes we stay here after a houseboat trip, and it's wonderful to have a reliable hot shower. There is a coffee maker (Starbucks coffee), refrigerator, and microwave. It can get 'mighty' hot at lake Powell, and the air conditioning works great in the rooms. I like that they have re-cycle bins. It is the Number 1 ranked motel in the area . . . oh wait. It's the only motel in the area. (Unless Ticaboo has opened.) Regardless, we will always stay here prior to our Lake Powell outing.

Overpriced, run down and dirty. 1. Carpet needs replaced. It was torn lumpy and very dirty. I stepped on several goat head seeds, obviously not vacuumed in a long time. Tub was filthy and chipped. Balcony was scary. Wood was extremely weathered beyond painting. Needs replaced. Stucco was put directly onto a 1/2" layer of partical board. The entire wall of this particular board is falling away from the building. Very very dangerous situation. I'm sure this has compromised the physical structure and integrity of the entire building. It's unbelievable the maintenance on and in this building has been neglected this much. I have photos of all this if your interested. Staff at the front desk were very nice and friendly as well as at the restraunt.
