“This lakeside lodge, steeped in history from its 1919 origins, caters to those seeking outdoor adventures near the Boundary Waters. I appreciate its pet-friendly policy that extends to both cabins and campsites, along with the private beach access. While some may find the accommodations rustic, the expansive lake access and on-site dining should appeal to families and outdoor enthusiasts.”
