Alicia is a great host! We’ve stayed at a couple of her listings and they are always spot on. We had never stayed at the Wolf Den before but it was perfect for a Wham Bam steelhead outing.The other guests were there for the same thing and we all hit it off immediately. Great experience. Already booking for next year!!!

Cheryl

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
This was a very basic room. There was no onsite staff or any amenities beyond the basic room. The bathroom was so tiny, my knees were a hands length from the wall when I sat on the commode. The shower was the size of the old-fashioned telephone booth. The room included a mini fridge, microwave, toaster, tea kettle, dishes, and flatware, which allowed me to bring leftovers for my meals. There's ample opportunity for fishing and other water sports, along with hiking and snowmobile trails.

This was my 4th year staying here and will be doing it again next year. It is close to the start of a trail race that I do and it is great coming back for a hot shower and to sleep in a comfortable bed. It has everything I needed and I know that it will always be clean and inviting.

The place was perfect for our stay. The cost of an inn with the feel of your own cabin. It was clean and nicely decorated. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to do some hiking or just to get away for the weekend.
