Our amenities are designed with connection and convenience in mind:

• Communal Spaces: Many of our accommodations feature comfortable common areas – inviting living rooms, stunning views, and perfect spots for everyone to hang out together, share stories, and plan your next adventure.
• Fully Equipped Kitchens (in many units): Cook (or preferably grill) up your favorite group meals, host a potluck-style feast, or just keep the snacks flowing. Sharing food and drinks is a cornerstone of any great friendship getaway.
• The Heated Pool Oasis: Whether you’re unwinding after a day of hiking, cooling off on a warm afternoon, or just want a laid-back place to chill and catch up, our heated pool is the perfect social hub.
• Outdoor Gathering Spots: Fire pits for sharing stories under the stars, picnic tables for lakeside lunches, and plenty of space to simply relax and enjoy the natural beauty together.

Adventure Awaits: Unleashing Your Inner Explorers

The Northland surrounding our lodge is an absolute playground for groups seeking adventure and unforgettable experiences:

• Lake Life, Elevated: For the water-loving crew, Lake Winnie offers endless possibilities. Rent a pontoon for a leisurely cruise, perfect for catching up and soaking in the scenery. Get the adrenaline pumping casting a line and compete for biggest catch of the day. For a more serene experience, grab some kayaks or canoes and explore the tranquil shorelines together.
• Hit the Trails: The area boasts a fantastic network of hiking trails, catering to all fitness levels. From easygoing nature walks perfect for catching up and enjoying the fresh air to more challenging treks that reward you with breathtaking panoramic views, there’s a trail for every group dynamic.

• Seasonal Delights: Depending on the time of year, the Northland offers even more adventures. Fall brings stunning foliage perfect for scenic drives and hikes. Winter transforms the landscape into a snowy wonderland, ideal for snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and hunkering down in an ice house with a case of beer - we mean with your stocked tackle box.
