History
The Lodge is one of the last remaining full log structures of its kind in the area. From it's humble beginnings as a trapper's cabin built in the late 1800s, the original resort owners first had planned to live in the cabin and operate a silver fox farm on the property. However, family and friends quickly fell in love with the beautiful lake and magnificent scenery so their vision soon changed to wanting to share this paradise with others. This was the beginning of the amazing transformation from a simple trapper's cabin into a family resort with a historic Log Lodge and guest cabins. Your hosts have lovingly restored the historic lodge and property to its former state of elegance. Once you open the door, your eyes are immediately drawn to the incredible collection of mounts and treasured antiques. The rich patina of the logs and the warmth of the granite fireplaces beckons you to come in and stay awhile and you can't help but feel like you have stepped back in time to the era of grea
