★★★★★Jonah MCamp Kiwanis is the bomb. Had an absolute blast during a big reunion over this winter. If you have any large group trips coming up, look no further. Honorable mentions: - Central heating! Staying in the cabin during the Winter was worrisome, but being in a toasty cabin was really awesome. The snow ended up not being too bad and was very picturesque. - Fully stocked kitchen. There was plenty of cooking utensils, pots, pans, cutlery, plates, bowls, etc. All of the kitchen appliances were older but worked great. - Safety. As a planner, safety was crucial factor in my location choice. The Kiwanis facilities were ADA certified. Automatic doors, frameless showers, etc. Plus there were tons of fire extinguishers, first aid kits, etc. Something that is really cool to is that your funds go to support their (KC) amazing work of giving younger people with disabilities the opportunity to go to summer camp. Nearby are some awesome hiking spaces too. It's paradise out there! My only complaint is there is not enough photos on their website! They're underselling themselves so much. 10/10 will go again.
★★★★★Kevin StimsonGREAT cabin and great weekend all together. Cabin was super clean, all the amenities worked, silverware, plates, coffee pot, cooking utensils all provided and clean. Will be staying there again for sure
★★★★★Quinnell FlanaganOh, the beauty! Went here for a wedding last weekend and I could not even believe how beautiful it was. Turns out you can individually rent out cabins, and for a great price too!
★★★★★Premila Tracey PickettA wonderful place to gather, eat, sleep, and make merry!!
★★★★★Amy BurkeBeautiful beautiful location. We are having our wedding there in August and are very much looking forward to it. Everyone we have worked with at the camp to coordinate have been responsive, flexible, and just great people! We're so excited to be hosting and housing all of our family and friends there! Edit: our wedding went off without a hitch and much of that was due to the venue and staff we worked with. They were immpecible, kind, efficient, and very flexible. We got endless comments about the venue from attendees about how beautiful it was. We weren't honestly sure what to expect when we went to check this place out since pictures for weddings were limited, but we were blown away. If you want a bit of a rustic place, beautiful lodges, tons of facilities, and wonderful staff for multiple days all for the same cost as a few hours at some venues.....go here. Seriously. Added bonus: the funds go to a wonderful cause!! We'd go back in a heartbeat. Love!
