"The Lodge is a place to remember. I'm old enough to have been to many cabins around the Northwoods - this place is tops. It's the wood walls, the open floor plan, the windows, and more windows. The outside is inside in a special way. Wonderful fireplace to sit and watch the flames dance at the end of the day. I'll try to return again to enjoy its treasures and make more memories." - D.K.
