What Guests Are Saying
The trip was enjoyable, highlighted by fishing from the skiff. However, one of the oars had a broken handle, making it shorter than usual. Overall, the experience was positive despite this minor inconvenience.

We had a great trip. Went fishing in the skiff. One oar's handle is broken off so the oar is only half as long.

Bring a chainsaw. A lot of blown down trees on the road after windstorm. Few hrs of cutting but well worth it. Cabin nice and wood in shed. Wife and I had a great time staying there. We will be back I’m sure.
