Book Now >
Summer or Winter, always something to do...or not.
The list of summertime activities is nearly endless. Hiking, running or walking on miles of trails; canoeing & kayaking; swimming; lounging by the lake; fishing; biking; exploring the gardens. Yes, there is a fitness center on property. Golfing is right nearby, and area fishing guides are available. You can't help but check out the amazing wildlife that call this little piece of paradise home.
In Winter there's snowshoeing on-site (we loan out titanium-frame snowshoes), plus cross country and downhill skiing not far away, and you can even try your hand at ice fishing. Or maybe simply schedule an in-room massage.
NOTE: Personal watercraft are not permitted, due to invasive species concerns.

Indulge yourself in the impressive hardcover book library at The Lodge, also home to a huge DVD collection. Some 30 cable TV stations are available, too. You can check email as needed (but please don't expect live-streaming in this remote setting).
There's a complete fitness room with treadmills, elliptical trainers, a multi-stack weight system and recumbent bike all located on the second floor of the Lodge.

The astonishing views and charming wildlife are inescapable here, ...and suddenly you'll be delighted to discover that you've thoroughly decompressed from the commotion that crowds our everyday lives.
#1 guest comment: We never knew how much we needed to simply relax and unwind in peace.
