Guestbook comments from the manager
Twelve women from church thoroughly enjoyed your beautiful home. We thought it was especially thoughtful of you to have a large dining room table that seats 12 and was perfect for our group. We enjoyed 2 days of hiking, lots of laughter, sunshine, game playing and wisdom swapping. We are GLOW(God Loving Outdoor Women)

Great Stay, as always
A group of guys have been meeting up for "mancation" for the last 11 years--we've now spent 3 of them at this house because it is simply a great place to stay. Foosball and Air Hockey are nice additions to this already great place.
Amazing multi family retreat!
Couldn't have asked for a nicer gathering place for our family get together. The Grand Retreat was beautifully decorated and the finishes were amazing with granite countertops to the flat screen tv's. We'll be back!
Amazing!
We had an amazing time up at the Grand Retreat! It was fantastic... beautiful views... you can even see a peek of Lake Superior from the deck! Tons of things in the cabin to keep you busy and the fire pit was well used... we even had to contact the care taker to bring us more wood... he had that dropped of within the next couple of hours. The direct TV was nice... we could still watch the Stanley Cup Playoffs at night!! All in all... its a very nice place to bring a big group. The owner allowed us to bring 14 people... and their was plenty of room for all of us... the couch up stairs is so comfy and their is a little river in the back yard that can entertain you for awhile, to see how far you can make it down hopping on rocks till you fall in. GREAT PLACE! the owner was very easy to work with and had everything we needed! Love that he keeps a packet with all the trails there! Hope the next people have an awesome adventure like we did!
Quiet and excellent space.
Place was awesome. Great location and near a lot of hiking trails. Place had enough space for me and my friends. Cozy, and the landscape was beautiful to wake up to every morning.
Great ski weekend
The house was perfect for a large group. We enjoyed the large living room and game room down stairs. The bonfire pit and wood fireplaces inside was a nice bonus. Thanks for the hospitality!
Very nice!
The layout was great for family gathering.
