  This resort is showing its age. The interior was in good condition and the view was limited but interesting. The free kayaks allowed exploring of a single windy inlet.

  I won't be back to this resort as it stands. Try finding a better managed resort and keep your good holiday spirits high.

  Excellent, smaller resort. You can easily get your own cabin and hot tub. All have fully functional kitchens and there can be nothing better than great food on the waterfront. Very relaxing and quiet.

  Came here for the third time after a hiatus of 15 years. New owners, rude and unreasonable demands. Facility appears to be worn down. It appears to be the rich owners' playground rather than a vacation resort. They advertise the cabins to be wifi accessible, but it is 95% without ANY wifi connection. The fishing/boating dock is dangerous, do not leave children unattended. It has three inch wide gaps in between logs, and half the dock is broken down BUT they call the situation "under construction." There is no sign caution or tape to limit entry. The service attitude is very poor. Who yells at visitors about a water puddle on the ground without any evidence it was caused by them?

  It is a beautiful location but the lack of hospitality we experienced will ensure we won't go back.

  Our biggest complaint was the lack of telephone (only at the office), WiFi (only near the office), cell connection, or cable television. The advertisement said internet was available near the office. However, the WiFi would disconnect from the internet or drop downloads frequently. Standing around with the mosquitoes to check your email was a little too much "wilderness". In the week we were there our next door occupants turned over 3 times which is about how long the place is interesting.

  Absolutely stunning location with owners who don't care about customer service. We checked in and felt pressured to check out early the next day. They actually asked us if we will be checking out early. We had 5 people in our 6 person Chalet but we only had 4 bathrobes. When we asked for another bathrobe they were quick to say only 4 bathrobes are included. We wanted to use the BBQ to cook some burgers and there was no propane in the tank. We were told to lower our Bluetooth speaker before we entered the quiet hours. Our speaker was only at half volume.The fridge had duct tape to create a shelf.
