Our stay at Windfall was beautiful. The visitors before us had left it in great condition, and it was so nice after hiking through the cold to have a warm, clean space to relax in.

Beautiful as always, even if it is drippy. New water craft out there (3 boats now); great for groups going out.

Great facility, well maintained, great location. Two working water vessels - a drift boat and a kayak, and enough oars/paddles to use them both at the same time. We lucked out with great weather too. luxury

The cabin was clean and well kept in a beautiful location. Beware of the slippery boardwalk and bring waterproof boots!

Beautiful views, loved the canoe and on demand heat. Cabin was very well kept. Easy 4 mile hike in! If you want to make a fire be sure to bring wood, did not use wood stove inside but it was available. After the hike in there were 3 jet boats there, vice hiking lake and cabin are accessible via 15 minute jet boat ride if you have one per the operators.

This cabin is such a gem. It was left in excellent condition, even with a bit of firewood to take off the chill while we waited for the propane heat to kick in. Propane tank was recently filled. Trail conditions were good (I did use my spikes most of the way in and back just for extra safety.) Lake is still frozen tho I wouldnt take a chance going out on it; however, we encountered a guy heading out to ice fish as we were on our way back.
