Wonderful experience. We enjoyed being so close to the water and having a fire under a blanket of stars at night. The lake was so intensely rough when we arrived. We enjoyed watching as Lady Superior calmed so beautifully thru the course of our stay.
This place was great. We really enjoyed our stay.
The one recommendation I would make - is that it would have been nice to have a little more stocked kitchen and bathroom. We stayed 8 days, and there was only one bath towel each, no salt/pepper/ saran wrap or items to hold leftovers. Would have been a nice addition to have a few more basic amenities in the kitchen. Otherwise, we loved our stay.
