Great place!!!
The place was perfect!!!!! Very clean and all the amenities that you need! I feel privileged having stayed in a place like this. I caught 25 Northern Pike trolling on the SW side of the lake using a black spinner bait. Special thanks to George & Rocky who were great chatting to and very knowledgeable. Thanks Tim!!!!!

We love the Marcell Lodge
We had a wonderful stay at the Marcell Lodge! The lodge itself is historic, but wonderfully updated with many modern touches. The kitchen was great & fully stocked, and there were plenty of beds to spread out. The grounds are kept wonderfully manicured & the overall service from Tim & the team was exceptional (checking on us daily for fire wood & boat gas refills, handling quickly a couple small issues we had, etc.). Marcell itself is small, but the Pine Cone Cafe & Timberwolf Inn were both great places to grab a bite, and the Frontier Sports store offers just about everything (gas, bait, groceries, beer, ice cream, souvenirs, etc.). For more options, Bigfork is only about 10 mins north. Tons of great trails & lakes in the area. All in all 5/5 stars & we can't wait to come back!

Amazing!
The cabin was beautiful! So clean and well taken care of. We slept the best we had in years probably because it was so quiet, cool and dark! Everything was ready for us from the boat with fuel, to the fire pit and wood supply to the nicely stocked kitchen! Best vacation ever!

Classic Lake Time
The Lodge was lovely and spacious. The kitchen had everything we needed. We especially loved the use of the boat, kayaks, and paddleboards. Of course, it is remote, which for my family was the point, so get your provisions before you head to the Lodge. The Discovery Center staff was helpful as we planned activities like a hike to the Lost Forty. Overall, it was a wonderful and we hope to rent it again someday.

Best rental!
This cabin is an absolute treasure! We enjoyed the secluded feel while still close to everything you need. We greatly enjoyed using the kayaks and paddleboards and our kids love swimming in the sand area. The water is so clear we could actually see the fish wr were catching and was so warm and inviting to swim in. The cabin itself is amazing. The beds are comfortable and it has a very homey feel. The kitchen is also fully stock with everything you need and has more than enough room for family and friends to enjoy the great outdoors. We will be back to stay here again!
