Yes. Please let us know a bit about your furry friend before arrival. We do need to charge for them just like we do additional guests. We can cover that during booking or during check-in.
-
During peak season (June 22 through Aug 15) some cabins are restricted to Saturday to Saturday bookings. This is largely in deference to generations of families who have booked ‘their week’ year over year. We love these traditions are want to protect them as best we can.
Outside of peak season, cabin bookings are entirely flexible (some minimums may apply on some cabins).
-
Yes, our cabins are equipped with air conditioning for those rare humid July afternoons. However, we find most guests prefer to open the windows and let the fresh Northwoods breeze drift through the screens.
-
Yes, every cabin comes with its own gas grill. There is nothing quite like the smell of burgers in the air and pine needles in the breeze at dinner time. We stock fresh propane for every visit. If you run low, just let us know.
-
We prioritized spacing to ensure you have your own slice of the Northwoods. While you are part of a resort community, our cabins are situated to maximize views of the lake and forest while maintaining privacy on your deck. You won’t be staring into your neighbor’s window.
-
We specialize in reunions! Our Bear Trap cabin sleeps up to 19 people, and the Bent Paddle sleeps 11. They are perfect "basecamps" for large groups. Many families book a large cabin for the grandparents and parents, while the adventurous cousins take a Houseboat out for a few nights—the ultimate "Hybrid" vacation.
