“We love the Loon Lodge! When you think of an old fashioned cabin in the woods on a lake, THIS is the place! We have stayed the last 3 years in a row and booked it for next year too. It's quiet, the cabin is well appointed and always clean when we arrive. They have a washer/dryer unit and a mini dishwasher that rocks!”
