Ice Fishing Camp

We had a great time staying at this place. It was perfect for our small group of friends. Located down the road from the boat launch and across the street from a restaurant/bar. We had a blast! All beds and rooms were just as advertised. Thank you for allowing us to stay!

Daughter wants to bring the family the next time

Absolutely charming place. The hosts were wonderful to communicate with. The place had everything you would need. We were there for a NMU orientation, so my daughter and I didn’t have a ton of time to explore nearby. She wants our family to go stay there with us, so we can explore more. I would definitely recommend!

Family Vacation

The property is adorable and was cleaned very well. They had everything stocked eons expectation and their home/lodgings were very clean and well-kept. Every time I asked a question, they were very quick to respond and we were located close to a lake Superior beach as well as right by Lake Independence, which was beautiful.
