We had a great time at this sweet cabin. We brought our boat and launched it right near the cabin - so easy! The lake couldn't be any closer and we were able to watch our kids swim and play while we sat on the porch and drank our coffee in the mornings. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed and the sleeping arrangements fit our family perfectly. We didn't try and use the DVD player until the night before we left and we weren't able to figure it out. But there is one there and I'm sure it works, just didn't for us... ;) My son was taking an online class and was able to do some limited checking in for that. The wi-fi works but it's not real fast, unless you want to get up super early in the morning, when it's better. We are a pretty big family and this cabin wouldn't work for us if we were all there. This time, there were only 8 of us and it was a great fit. If our other two adult kids came along, we'd need something bigger. But we will definitely return if it's just the 8 of us.

Kathy was easy to work with and very helpful. The property is clean and well maintained. When we weren't enjoying the water, we had a great meal at Elkins Resort, and took a fun hike/ swim on 8 Mile Island. Nordman has very little in the way of groceries. I recommend shopping at home or in Newport or Priest River on the way up.
