I can’t say enough good things about the Matthews family and their resort! We had a hiccup before arriving when our cabin was double booked but Lisa took care of it right away. We ended up reserving the Oaks cabin; newest cabin with 2 instead of 3 bedrooms but very spacious living area. This worked out fine for our 2 adults and 4 kids; used 2 twin air mattresses in the living room instead of pull out couch. The kitchen was well stocked with all of the necessities and appliances. The oven needs some work as the door wouldn’t stay shut (ended up propping a chair up to keep it shut and the heat in!). Lisa is now aware and I’m certain it will be fixed! The dishwasher was a bonus! Overall, the condition of the cabin was what I was expecting as a rustic, older, up north resort.
The Oaks cabin is very private with its own driveway. Although this may appeal to many people (including my boyfriend), I would have preferred to have another cabin out in the main area, near the large yards so the kids could run, bonfire pit (Oaks didn’t have one), and be able to hear/see the activities going on in the rest of the resort. The Matthews do such a good job of introducing everyone and coordinating activities that I feel we missed out. Nonetheless, the location of the Oaks is very nice for those wanting privacy and it’s really not that far of a walk.
The lodge is awesome! Pool table, arcades, books, games, ice cream, etc. John and Lisa are so kind and generous as hosts!
