    Beautiful spot on the lake. Nice dock and plenty of chairs to sit and enjoy campfire. Grill was nice and our boys enjoyed the bunkhouse. Cabin is rustic and brought back memories of going to cabins in our youth. Bedding and linens were a bit worn, but clean. We would have really appreciated some wood for campfire.

    very good communication place was nice clean and warm. Snowmobile Trail goes right across the lake in front of the cabin. I’m sure it is beautiful in the summer. Would definitely stay there again.

    Our group of five Seniors had a wonderful time. We rented both the cabin and the bunkhouse, so that we would have more space. The deck is a great area to socialize, dine, and enjoy the views. We sat on the dock and watched an Eagle “go fishing” for its breakfast. There are basic model kayaks and a canoe. We enjoyed the short drive to nearby hiking trails and Hayward. Patrick, the host, is very quick to respond to phone calls and messages.

    This place worked out very well for our three families to meet up for the weekend. We had 6 adults and 7 kids. Beds were comfortable and the place was clean and cozy with a beautiful view. it would be nice if there were more places to sit to eat, but we knew that going in. In the summer this would not be an issue.

    We had a great stay for a family gathering. Everything we needed was available and then some! It was a perfect week of fishing, campfires, pudgy pies and ATV riding! The cabin was very comfortable for everyone. Thank you for a great stay!

    We had a great family reunion at the Birch cabin and Spruce Chalet. Plenty of room for 14 between the two cabins. Plenty of outdoor space to relax and chat. We rented a pontoon for three days and took that out into the Lake for swimming (if you want to swim off the dock, this might not be your rental…there are clues in the description to head for the public beach…) we had a fire every night, which was wonderful. Patrick is a blessing to work with: very communicative and a good host. We are grateful for his attentiveness to our needs and requests.

    We spent a weekend here for a work retreat. We rented all three cabins as there were 13 of us and this worked out great. All three cabins were well taken care of and it was nice to be able to spread out. It was nice being so close to town yet felt really secluded as you can’t really see any neighbors. Would definitely come back!
