The property is quiet. The lake view is beautiful. The food was delicious, but a bit on the pricier side. We also enjoyed an hour long boat ride of the Eagle Lake, which was therapeutic.

The staff were very inviting and friendly and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great weekend. I got a firm pressure massage and it was amazing, the masseuse was very kind and made sure I was comfortable the whole time. The dinner was fantastic and the server was very friendly and attentive to us. The room was very nice and the fireplace was a very nice touch. The whole resort was very clean and the pool was fantastic. Even tho the sauna wasnt working the trip was still amazing and we definitely plan on returning.

Great amenities! Enjoyed the peaceful and quiet place away from the city. Also, saw deer multiple times. So it’s a great experience! 🦌✨ Stargazing at night as well. We had a glimpse of Aurora Borealis for a split second, and the a loooot of shooting stars. 🌠

Posh resort on a pretty northern lake. The older lodge portion is starting to show its age and we had mixed results with the fine dining. No kids allowed made it quiet and relaxing though. Great pool and spa. Overall it was an enjoyable 2 day stay. Would go back.

It’s a beautiful, quiet location right on the water, with great hiking in the area, The rooms are rustic, pretty clean but could use some updating. The grounds outside and the buildings need some general maintenance and a little more up keep, I think it maybe hard at times to get the required help which shows when the dining room is full in the evening causing service to be slow and lacking.

From unit 42 brush could be removed for a better lake view Room needs a full refurbishment . The only saving grace was the spa , Lake View from main lodge with sun set was awesome. what I will a say the low cost rooms are certainly not worth the cost as they seem to be neglected so my recommendation would be to be to pay a lot more per night per room I guess the more you pay the better the room. But by no means are the lower cost rooms worth the nightly rate they charge.
