Camp Life
The host Eric was great to deal with. The camp was rustic and exactly as advertised. My wife and I went up for a week long moose hunt, we enjoyed every minute of it, loons and ducks out front every morning and the moose were only minutes from the door step. Now my wife has to have her own outdoor shower

Paradise Frozen in Time
My family had the best vacation. It did not disappoint & was so much more than I could have possibly hoped for. The cabin is perfectly retro with all the basic essentials you could need. It was clean & spacious yet extremely cozy & comfortable. The location is an ideal launching point for the surrounding 90 minute radius with easy access to the NMW, is absolutely beautiful, & oh so private. This place is magical & I cannot wait to be able to go back. I would stay forever if I could.

Enjoyable
We enjoyed the quiet nature of the location. Although it rained most of the weekend the cabin was comfortable using the heat pump. Only suggestion is advising guest to bring all necessary paper products for time of stay (unless I missed that in write up). Would recommend to friends as a great resource.
