Had a very nice stay! Room was clean and didn’t smell like anything at all 🙂 It had just what we needed for our few day stay. The owner was very kind and helpful. He even made some calls and switched some things around for us so we could add a night. Would definitely stay here again.

The room was very adequately equipped with everything I needed, very clean and updated as well. Jackson, in charge at the lodge, was very helpful regarding any questions or needs. I loved the location right on the lake surrounded by pine. The ski trails connected to the lake and were easily accessible. I hope to return next year!
