Kim and her staff make you feel welcomed from the time you check in until the moment you leave. They treat you like family, but are not as intrusive. The property is beautiful, the beach is calling your name and the one of many fire pits is waiting for you in the evening. It's perfect for families with children, fisherman and woman, girls weekends, retreats, there is a sauna, massages available, so much to do and see with out leaving the resort. The beautiful trees, wildflowers, the loons and the chipmunks ( I was able to feed out of my hand), the hummingbirds.....it just doesn't get better than this. I can't wait to come back in September!

CWC review - fall!

We had a great weekend! So many things to do - if the weather were a bit warmer! We still enjoyed walking around, sitting by the lake or on our deck! The cabin had EVERYTHING we needed. The fireplace made it very cozy!
