    We loved everything about our stay – the peaceful atmosphere, the beautiful views right from the bed, the private terrace, and the option to go canoeing. The lodge was spotless, well-maintained, and felt like the perfect mix of comfort and nature.

    Quiet stay with all the amenities you need to make it comfortable. Cup of coffee on the deck with birds chirping was best way to start the day.
