We may not have that specialty store or gourmet shop around the corner but our guests will have the freshest herbs and vegetables at their fingertips while they are here. One of the new features in the grilling area is a vegetable and herb garden. Need a little basil on that chicken? Help yourself. It doesn’t get much fresher than that. Just wait until you see all the new patio additions to the grill area! Mike and his boys are doing an awesome job.
Its official “ice out” was Sunday April 26th representing the beginning of the spring season in these parts. This past week already had some hot spots for fishing here in town, starting everyone a buzz with anticipation to get out on the lakes. If your into fishing for Land locked salmon, now’s the time to make your reservation.
ATV trails are planned to open Memorial Day weekend (weather permitting) May 23rd. The trails should be dried up enough by then to have the opening as scheduled.
The Moose are starting to come out again. Fresh green grass along the sides of the road are a big spring treat for them. Haven’t seen a spring calf yet but I’m sure the moms will have them out soon.

It doesn’t seem it, but it has been exactly one year since our first blog. Happy birthday to me…Happy birthday to me.. So much for the music. Maybe I should have downloaded a tune instead.
A lot has changed in the last year besides the addition of this blog. A large transformation of the units and common areas. web access, new hot tub, new crew, new resort activities and services. Wow ! We’re on a roll. What recession? White water and ATV season are right around the corner. Come check out our new duds.
Last unit!
With this unit almost done, it will mean all the units in the main lodge have had the new carpet installed. The commons will be finished later in the week and the older cabins are next in line. looking good Scott!
photo finish
Delayed start times didn’t prevent these teams from meeting at the finish line together. Saturday’s results were not tabulated yet when we left but it was an exciting race for teams and spectators alike. This annual event is a great draw to the area. plan ahead. today had races in the morning and award presentations this afternoon.
