We had a wonderful stay! The cabin was lovely and clean, and the rustic boardwalk down to the lake was a highlight. It was my mother-in-law’s first fall visit to the North Shore, and the colors were at their peak. We had a great time!

Great place with tons of activities. Not having to rent or bring our own snowshoes was great as well as having plenty of firewood. The cabin itself is nice and updated, great kitchen, and overall a really cool and quiet place.
