Wow, I was so impressed upon pulling up with the bright sign to know you are at the Reel Inn and Lodge then walking into the room you could tell how much work, sweat, and love was poured into this place by Deborah. I decided immediately to stay another night and was joyously accommodated. I highly recommend and I will definitely make my way back out here to the Reel Inn and Lodge. Thank you Deborah.
We wanted just a quick getaway and several places were already booked full. We are so glad we chose this small little sweet place. Just minutes away from several small towns and lake area. We had to stay in due to the weather got so cold and raining. it was perfect for our small family of 3 to play games, watch movies and cuddle up and drink coco!!
