This facility function somewhere between a nice waterfront lodge and a bunk house. The rooms are great for sleeping, with nice temperature control, and nice bathrooms. They even have a small refrigerator. But there is no space to hang out in the room. This served as a great overnight spot before going into the boundary waters.

It was relaxing to stay there. I enjoyed the fact that there was a full kitchen and dining area. I wish that we had thought to reserve a fishing boat for at least a half a day.

This was a perfect place for one person. It had everything I needed. The communication was great, the place was very clean. The only complaint is that I could hear the other guests below, or next to me. Not a huge deal, but enough to notice for sure.

Jessica was very responsive and friendly. The room was clean. Kitchen facilities were great. Was extremely disappointed to see that the hot tub was covered up with a sign that said for private use only, as the hot tub was a major draw in booking the stay.
