Overall great place to stay. The cabin has a unique layout which made it all the better. The kids loved it and there was plenty to do. The host recommended a pontoon rental and they were amazing and easy to work with. If you enjoy a true northwoods cabin style this is the place to stay with all of the amenities you need to be comfortable.
