Seven very old friends spent four nights at the Boathouse Lodge/Dinghy Cabin and had an enjoyable stay despite several infrastructure issues that need attention. The Lodge is spacious, with lovely views, quirky in the way of older cabins, has everything needed in a well-appointed kitchen, comfortable beds and a great deck overlooking the Big Lake.
The host, Erin was immediately responsive from my initial communication when we booked the Lodge. Local help was quick to arrive 3 times when the gas fireplace (much needed on cool nights) did not work, and ultimately needed replacement. Be sure to locate the space heaters for cool nights, as several of us spent a chilly first night under many blankets. By day three, two of the Lodge toilets needed plunging to flush, and a bathroom sink did not drain well. Cracked picture windows, holes in screens, and a broken door jam also need repair.
Not necessarily an easy feat living hours away, Erin to her credit was easy to reach, and great with communication.
