★★★★★Maia DalagerJust had my wedding up at this camp and it was perfect. This space is so gorgeous that you hardly need to decorate. The food is absolutely delicious and they accommodate all the dietary needs you and your people need. The staff work so hard and deliver! They were so helpful and kind. You all should get married here!
★★★★★Melissa LockGreat place for our fall family paddling getaway. We got to be in the wilderness but not tenting. Attentive staff for anything we needed, otherwise felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. Enjoyed the cozy, simple Bakk house right by the lake! Thanks!
★Michael Fugére Jr.Booked a cabin months in advance. My wife and I are busy people who needed a break, both took time off of work, planned for months, found baby sisters for our animals, packed, loaded car, 10 minutes away from walking out the door to drive 4 1/2 hours, then we get a call saying they booked our cabin to someone else / possibly staff. Not nice.
★★★★KANES “Rottie”I came here for a Bluegrass Festival I met and talked with friendly people and enjoyed the music
★★★★★Misty BergmanWhat a spectacular place!!!! Not only is it beautiful, peaceful and a wonderful place for reflection the staff there is incredible and so welcoming. This was my second time here, first time was at the Bakk house, this time at the lodge and I highly recommend this for any sort of family, spiritual or work gathering. I'm already counting down the days for my trip back. A huge thank you to them all.
