Great customer service

I stayed in a motel room overlooking the lake prior to a trip into the Boundary Waters. A little nervous at the plain and aging exterior, I was pleasantly surprised with the renovated and very comfortable room. This property has a friendly, traditional resort vibe, with cabins, camper parking and the motel. The bar was still open on a rainy evening and they served my favorite Castle Danger on tap. I would love to visit this resort again!

Was a clean, updated property,the owner was super nice and helpful !we have stayed there before and will definitely stay again.

Very peaceful location in a historic log cabin with just enough modern elements for a relaxing get away.

Fabulous stay! They had great beds and endless blankets! Great dock for fishing our having a pontoon/boat rental. Sauna was awesome!Main level had a full bathroom and queen size bed bedroom. Upstairs had a king with 2 kids beds and a cot bed, again with plenty of blankets and sheets!It was so peaceful couldn’t really see the neighbors and it was just amazing to see how dark the sky can get into seeing all the stars.Perfect stay for a family!

Overall, this is a basic accommodation that served its purpose for a Fourth of July weekend trip. There were six of us, and I would not recommend staying here with more than that. The triple bunkbed is tight for three adults.The cabin was clean, better than expected.The hot water did not work for the first 24 hours after arriving, but it did work for the second day. I'm not sure why this was the case, but some information in a visitor guide could have helped us avoid cold showers the first night and morning.There was abundant firewood.Plan on bringing most of the dishes, pans, and campfire equipment that you want to use. While the cabin has some of these, they are clearly "hand me downs" for the most part and cumbersome to use. A fresh set of pots/pans, better utensils, roasting sticks, and a bucket for putting out a fire (to name some examples) would make it easier to stay there for a few days. This is especially necessary since the cabin is so isolated.The shower had body wash only, no shampoo or conditioner.If you're expecting the equivalent of a hotel stay, this probably isn't the place for you. If you are looking for somewhere with a living space to hang out, this is a better fit. With a few minor improvements, this cabin could be better to stay in.
