Wonderful spot

Totally equipped cabin right on the lake. Owner was totally responsive (we are readers so requested an extension cord and bedside reading light, which she supplied). Kitchen had everything we needed.

Excellent - Serene and Peaceful

This resort is spectacular. Our cabin was very clean and kitchen well stocked. Loved that we had our very own hammock and dock. The cabins aren’t right on top of one another so you feel like you have your own slice of the outdoors. We spent a week over the 4th of July and while all cabins were booked it was very quiet. We rented a boat and spent hours on the clean lake catching fish (bass/northern pike) and swimming, watching loons and listening to nature. Parts of the lake we were alone with no other boats/cabins. There’s paddle boards, a canoe and kayaks to use free of charge. We brought food with so can’t speak to restaurants in the area but there’s a convenience store close where we purchased bait. The office has movies/games to use and a cute little gift shop too. Each cabin has Wi-Fi. Would highly recommend this resort if you’re looking to be immersed in nature with beautiful quiet surroundings. Be sure to bring towels (bath/kitchen/(sponge too)/beach), soap, spices). With so many places to explore we don’t go back to the same location twice but this is one we will for sure come back to. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Quiet to Unwind

Somewhat rustic, had everything we needed, and we had a wonderful, relaxing, and fun stay. Thank you to the resort hosts for taking such good care of the lake and property, and for sharing this special place with us.
