Over all the cabin was what i expected. The only issue was that the bed was at a slant and for me that made sleeping difficult. The cabin was clean and easy to check in. Overall a great stay.

Wonderful spot- no breakfast though

We had a lovely stay over all. We were disappointed and surprised that the restaurant is not open for breakfast. And, the shower curtain in Tamarack needs to be replaced. Other than that, we loved it!

This was disappointing. There is no air conditioning - it was very stuffy and hot. They are focused on motor boats - you can't really get anywhere interesting from here on a canoe. There's a restaurant and bar but prices are on a par with midtown Manhattan. This is a very expensive place and I can't help but wonder if the place we rented was meant for the help or something. There are almost no staff to help you with any issues and it's set up so that you almost never see anyone who works there. There is no daily housecleaning, and extensive chores are required at checkout. Severely understaffed. Do not recommend.

I loved the property it was a view upfront of the lake which was beautiful to look at everyday!! Could get use to it!! Lol This was a very secluded quiet property not much craziness going on,in fact enjoyed the quiet very much! Met the owner Brian which he was very cool!! He pretty much does ALOT of the maintaining the property and I can see why he likes being there!! Lol Definitely a place to go for peace and quiet and even on the lake was pretty good!! Not ALOT of people on it!! Thank you!!! 😁

Got there - no staff available- the first room was on the middle of renovations- had to ask the girl from the restaurant that don’t work in the hotel to help me- another room was dirty with old bed sheets- so they moved us to a small room- the area is really beautiful but the room was really really dirty with dead bugs everywhere
