Over all the cabin was what i expected. The only issue was that the bed was at a slant and for me that made sleeping difficult. The cabin was clean and easy to check in. Overall a great stay.

Wonderful spot- no breakfast though

We had a lovely stay over all. We were disappointed and surprised that the restaurant is not open for breakfast. And, the shower curtain in Tamarack needs to be replaced. Other than that, we loved it!

Beautiful spot on the lake

Beautiful spot on the lake! We stayed in a rustic cabin, which was fine for 2 nights. Parking was next to the cabin so very easy to unload the car. There are kayaks and canoes for guests to use, as well as life jackets available.

Nice cabin. Great location. Only complaint is the bbq grill didn’t have propane. Was planning on using for dinner. Could have done a lil better job with the snow removal. Other than that great stay at a reasonable rate. And shovel the top balcony off. I know it’s cold but some people still like too enjoy them.
