With a grocery story less than 10 mins away & a full kitchen I never felt like I was "roughing it" but my kids LOVED the lakeside sandy beach, fishing off multiple docks & the rec room stocked with puzzles/board games, pool table & fuse ball. The owners are excellent hosts & provided bikes for my kids to ride. The hiking is unlike anything we've done as a family & was so accessible, just a short walk from our cabin door to the trailhead & options to go for miles. We left feeling recharged & filled up on the beauty of nature, hoping to return to stay in other seasons as I can imagine the grounds turn into a winter wonderland & a breathtakingly blooming garden & a fantastic Summer playground for all ages. This is the perfect place to reconnect with family & friends in a clean, comfortable & spacious accommodation.

Ron and Beth, and the whole staff are so friendly, you just want to stay & never go back home! The houseboat we had was the perfect size for fishing, exploring, camping, and star gazing on the top deck. On Sunday they came out to us on the lake with more ice for the cooler, and to see if we needed more gas. They offered to bring us beer, wine & fishing supplies out on the water, so we wouldn't have to come back to the dock! Top notch service all the way around! We will be going back with our 3 sons & friends, and renting their biggest houseboat (which sleeps 12). Should you want an escape to the north woods, this IS the place, absolute heaven! If I could give it MORE than 5 stars, I would.

Two beds, bathroom with tub/shower, TV with cable, small refrigerator, microwave, desk, and free (decent speed) WiFi.

Thankfully we brought our own or our stay would have been much different. Check in was simple as well as check out. Our unit was clean, full of essentials (except pillows), and a nice bathroom. As another mentioned, the walls are very thin. To the point I could hear our neighbor using the bathroom and flushing. . .and can tell you what the people next door fed their children for breakfast because it was like they were in our kitchen. Other than that, we would likely stay again when in the area.
