Thinking of Red Pine Lodge makes me smile. The property is well appointed, full of amenities, and easy to enjoy. Clean, comfortable, and quiet. It is isolated, but in the best possible way. Get your groceries and supplies in Cook, take the long drive around the lake, park and get your orientation at Life of Riley Resort from Josh, and enjoy! 5 minute boat ride gets you to the property (we rented the owners' pontoon which made it very convenient, it was fueled and waiting for us). the lake is huge, but we found it quiet. We took may boat rides over the week, but only saw the western 20-25% of the lake. Trip over to The Landing and Moosebirds was easy and well worth the trip. Day trip to Ely was easy. Our teenage girls loved the beach and dock area, and front of house and dock face the beautiful sunsets! Could not recommend this property more! Come well supplied and enjoy the solitude!
