Very Good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
This was our third stay. This is a delightfully quiet and beautiful place to stay. These are older cottages but they are well-maintained and have modern amenities. We plan to go again next year.
Lovely position on the edge of the lake. Peaceful and comfortable lodge.
We stayed here out of season and will hopefully come back in the summer to enjoy the activities on the lake.

Everything was great. The room was just a bit cold. I was there during -30 weather. The extra heater was a big help. Would recommend!

Th room was very clean. We did have problems with the heating our first night but the staff handled the problem quickly and gave us a new room. After they made several inquiries to make sure things were all good.
