We've been going here for a few years now and love the location! They recently started updating the cabins and the changes so far are great. It's pretty, cozy, and relaxing there. We Love all the chipmunks running around, they're so cute. They have friendly staff, some fun pinball machines, nice facilities, great docks, and beautiful sunsets on the lake!
If you want the family trip of a lifetime, or a fishing trip with the guys, this place has you covered. Great docking area, easy access to the big lake winnie, best staff ever! Joe made this trip a family vacation that will be talked about for years, already booked next year! Great for all ages and one of the most peaceful resorts I have ever stayed at
Great atmosphere and the Perfect Location! The rooms are clean and well kept, the bar staff warm and welcoming! Fishing was outstanding
This resort is a classic family fishing resort! Everything you could want for the entire family- heated pool, kids activities, amazing fishing, beautiful sunsets, great service, playground, fire pit, fishing pier, and a quality bar and restaurant right on property. Our family is a second generation family coming here year after year. This resort has a deep history and love for their customers. Once you come- you will be back!
Nice place, great location, but bring your wallet. We ordered 2 bloody marys, our tab was $24
One of my favorite resorts on cut-foot. No nonsense, relaxing place with protected docking and a typical (in a good way) resort bar and store. Friendly and responsive owners and staff. Nice shallow sandy beach for the kids. On site boat ramp.
Everything was perfect the cabins are well kept you do need to bring your own hand soap and dish soap there are no laundry facilities but there is a laundromat not too far away. The owners and staff were amazing . The guides for fishing were perfect and we had a wonderful time. The generosity and love that the owners and staff give to veterans is priceless.
Great family resort. They have lots of activities for kids during the week. The fishing is really good. All of the people that work there are extremely friendly and helpful. My family has been making this resort our vacation spot, every year for 30 years.
