What a magnificent location! I was there for a week with up to forty others for a family reunion. The cabins are very well maintained as is the property in general. Every morning the beaches were raked and cleaned of debris. We made our reservations for the next family reunion before we left.

Owners are amazing, easy to work with, friendly, maintain the property, and have an excellent way to check in. Cottages were cozy, have a bathroom with flushing toilets and a shower, and 2 bedrooms. The beds were super comfortable, and the quietness with the fresh air made for a restful nights sleep. Furnace, microwave, fridge and stove, what more could one need. You are so close to the lake. I highly recommend!!

We had a beautifully relaxing week at North Bay Landing in cabin 3 right next to the water. The sound of the waves against tge seawall is still with me. My husband had a great time fishing even with a couple days of high winds. The cabin was very clean with everything we needed to cook and enjoy our stay. Mary brought everyone dry firewood on our 1st day when it rained a tiny bit. We watched her throughout the week attending to details that insured the outdoors was comfortable, too.

Stayed here for the 2nd year in a row. Our family and friends rented out the entire resort. What an amazing place to vacation. Very clean, and great for the kids. Lots of stuff for the kids to do, so many toys and games to play. Private beach is so nice to have on site too, with paddle boards and rafts. We rented the pontoon boat for the week too which was awesome too. The hosts Brian and Mary are great. They keep the property maintained great. With daily restocking of firewood. (We used a lot) we can’t compliment this resort enough, thank you for having us as guests. So much fun and memories made that will forever be cherished in our hearts!

Awesome year yet again! Brian and Mary are the best. As always the resort was well maintained and very clean! This is a great place for us to go and stay a week with extended family. My family looks forward to this vacation every year! Can’t wait until next year.

Rented the big house for a couple days. Owners are great and easy to work with. They are so welcoming. When we walked into the house we were very pleasantly surprised. It looks exactly like in the pictures. Sure clean and everything is labeled for you and what to do when you leave. We would totally book with them again! There was so much room in the home , we wouldn't mind renting it for a holiday with family.
