Winter multi family stay

This place worked out very well for our three families to meet up for the weekend. We had 6 adults and 7 kids. Beds were comfortable and the place was clean and cozy with a beautiful view. it would be nice if there were more places to sit to eat, but we knew that going in. In the summer this would not be an issue.

Great escape

We had a great stay for a family gathering. Everything we needed was available and then some! It was a perfect week of fishing, campfires, pudgy pies and ATV riding! The cabin was very comfortable for everyone. Thank you for a great stay!

Great for Family birthday celebration

We had a great family reunion at the Birch cabin and Spruce Chalet. Plenty of room for 14 between the two cabins. Plenty of outdoor space to relax and chat. We rented a pontoon for three days and took that out into the Lake for swimming (if you want to swim off the dock, this might not be your rental…there are clues in the description to head for the public beach…) we had a fire every night, which was wonderful. Patrick is a blessing to work with: very communicative and a good host. We are grateful for his attentiveness to our needs and requests.
