Carol and Jim truly make this place special. Their hospitality is genuine, thoughtful, and welcoming from the moment you arrive. Even during our winter stay, they made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed after long days on the nearby trail. They go above and beyond to create a warm, relaxed atmosphere, and it’s clear they care deeply about their guests. Thanks to Carol and Jim, the lodge feels less like a rental and more like staying with friends.

This place is the definition of a northern getaway. Quiet, no tv in the lodge room, wonderful character, beautiful views on the property and so much to see nearby, jukebox and a wood stove in the living room/dining room, I wanted to stay longer.
